Lil' Native in K390

#1

Post by th3oth3rjak3 »

I've been looking at a lot of the different Spyderco small knives under 2.5" blade length and both the dragonfly and the lil' native have caught my eye. I really like that the dragonfly comes in a K390 blade steel option, but I prefer the platform of the lil' native and the compression lock. Would be really cool to see a sprint run for the lil' native in K390 steel. What do you guys think?

I’d definitely be in for a Lil Native backlock in k390. Would love to see that blue in G10 as well.

I’m not one who’s interested in getting this model no matter the steel, but k390 seems like a great option for the people who are. So it gets my vote

Why not?
Also M390, SPY27 or Cruwear whould be nice for Lil Native.
Maybe a Crucarta?
Only thoughts......

I think I'd like S110V for this more than K390 for once.
I guess I gotta get the S90V version before it is not possible ^^

Definitely, although I think Rex 45 suits it better.

Oh heck yeah. I would kill for a factory Crucarta, but I’d be pleased with a K390/G-10 that I can buy some Micarta for. Make mine a slippie!

Alternatively, Sal + Eric could take me up on my K390 + Green Canvas Micarta proposal for the whole Golden line. I’d be real stoked about that!
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

I'd rather see one in S110V, personally. But I'm odd like that.

If it has to be a non stainless steel... Maxamet.

I think there was a Rex45 burnt orange G10 sprint already. I don't think they can run those twice once it's stopped.
A burnt orange lil native LW would be cool ^^ in like 2024.

Interesting as I think the lil native is great without the jimping. The natives all have great ergos that lock into the hand as is.
