Just out of curiosity, how long did you dunk those scales in that blue to achieve that OD Green color? From the pictures it looks amazing and would be interested in replicating that. Thanks!Pacu0420 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 3:44 pmLucked out and found this one at a local shop that carries Spyderco. They just got it in a few days ago so I grabbed it up. Anyway, I can't take the dayglow yellow (sorry Eric and Sal) so I picked up some blue Rit and now I have an OD green N5 Salt Magnacut. Oh yeah!

Spyderco enthusiast with way too many to list.
Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
It wasn't long. A few minutes total. I forgot to mention that I also used green RIT after the blue. With just the blue dye it ends up kind of tan.MidnightCoalCo. wrote: ↑Fri May 19, 2023 8:53 amJust out of curiosity, how long did you dunk those scales in that blue to achieve that OD Green color?

Anyway, I hold it in the dye for around 30 seconds then look to see if it's the color I want. If not, I dip it again. Repeat until you get the desired shade.
I don't know if it matters, but I did the blue first, then the green. I didn't bother taking the knife apart either. I just made sure to give it a good wash and set on a heater vent to dry it out when I was done.

I ordered it Feb/2022. When I talked to them 2 weeks ago, they said they were on Nov/2021 and I should have mine soon.
Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
Sorry for OT. Can someone tell me please, if the Native Salt has titanium clip?
Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
Is there people using the PE version that can tell me a little bit how the steel feels compared to the Mule ?
I wanted one for a long time but I'm wondering how the HT makes the steel behaves now that Spyderco has found how they want to treat MC.

In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
Mine finally landed today after 7 months and basically forgetting about it. Worth it for the $114 November 2022 asking price?

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
Native 5 Salt Magnacut PE showed up. Really excellent QC. It’s going straight into the rotation, giving the Rex45 LW a rest. Looking good so far with a little light household choring.
Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
I finally bought one and was surprised to have a total pain while disassembling it.
The lockbar pin was totally stuck in the lockbar, incapable of moving. This made the knife really hard to use and my plan of migrating blade and lockbar to a Ti + Backspacer body impossible.
The lockbar pin had material removed because of the friction. After using some tools to remove the lockbar pin from the lockbar, I discovered that the lockbar pin was a bit damaged by the lockbar. The lockbar hole was tighter on one end than on the other. I used a diamond file as a makeshift countersink and now it's ok.
I rolled the lockbar pin on a strop with 12 micron diamond emulsion for a good while to remove as much of the striations created as possible.
Now it's good . I'm just leaving that here in the anticipation that somebody else encounters the same situation.

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
Glad you were able to solve the problem. I've taken apart two Native 5's in order to switch the scales - both were very easy to take apart and put back together.Ramonade wrote: ↑Sat Aug 05, 2023 3:23 amI finally bought one and was surprised to have a total pain while disassembling it.

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
Well that's usually my experience ! Except with maybe G10 N5s which sometimes have a more "press fit" lock pin but the N5 LW is always a treat to disassemble, 3 screws and you're done
Now my Magnacut N5 is the same way as all my others ^^

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?
Excellent! With mine I started by dying the scales red, but then picked up a Rex 45 with white scales, switched the two and then found a silver clip. For me it's a perfect knife. My Sage 2 with a Maxamet blade is a close 2nd! I love simple Titanium handles.
