Tools and Hardware Reviews of Spyderco Native Lightweight Plain Edge Knife, Black
Customer Review: A great knife with a couple slight flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
I first purchased the Native about a year ago when they were on a on a sale at Wally for ~45 bucks. Since then, I have used it both as my EDC and as a light duty knife for EMS work. I love many things about it, including how it feels in my hand (I have a very secure grip around the blade, and it would be hard to get it out of my hand because of how the blade has a finger choil in it) and the blade profile is very effective for many different tasks, unlike some of the beefier americanized tanto blades. Also, the steel in this knife is CPMS30V, which is usually found in much more expensive knives, making this knife a steal at this pricepoint. The only real thing I would change is that I really wish it had steel liners and a more secure pivot. If I flexed the blade a little, I could feel the strain and it felt like it would break under extensive stress. The blade pivot was a little loose as well, but not really a big deal. Overall it is a great design which stood up to all of the use I put on it (but I was careful), but construction with those changes I mentioned would make it absolutely outstanding. I do believe there is a version of this knife with steel handles and AUS 10 steel, but I haven't tried it....yet.
Description of Spyderco Native Lightweight Plain Edge Knife, Black
Engineered to fit the human hand, the Native's ergonomic design maximizes cutting ability while minimizing discomfort and fatigue. A superior combination of performance and comfort, it features two separate finger choils for maximum versatility during use. The first choil (where the blade and handle meet) allows the index finger to be positioned closer to the edge for precise, controlled cutting. The second choil positions the hand farther back for increased power and comfort. Bi-Directional Texturing molded into the FRN handle creates a multi-level -Inch stepped -Inch texture for a positive grip. The locking lever features a relieved David Boye Dent to ensure that the lock remains safely engaged even when gripping the handle forcefully. The Native's blade is hollow-ground CPM-S30V steel with a weight-reducing swedge and a section of textured -Inch jimping -Inch on the spine to provide a slip-resistant purchase for the thumb. A black steel pocket clip offers tip-up carry and can be reversed for left or right-side carry via a barrel-shaped screw that doubles as a lanyard hole.Tools and Hardware
