great review. i like the detail (actually talking about hand measurements) and cutting demonstration. hope to see more great videos!
Take a shot every time you hear the word “hype” lol
That's a lot better for your health than taking a -shit- shot every time he opens and closes it.
Great video brother! This is a great knife in my opinion! Perfect EDC in my opinion! Thanks for sharing brother!
BigRedEDC thanks so much buddy! I agree, there’s not much to say bad about it. Thanks for your time my friend✌️
Exceptional review. Well done.
Great review, thanks,, I've got the ukpk in S110v, and I'm considering the LC200n version, we're so limited over here in England, for decent legal knives,, 😭,, thanks again,,
All the best,, John..
I am very torn on this one. I really want to try LC200n and have never had a Native before so it would be a great way to kill two birds with one stone, however try as I might I just can't bring myself to regularly carry a knife with a backlock. I've tried with a delica and endura but a compression, axis or ball bearing lock always kick the backlock out of the rotation. Maybe the Native can convert me, but if not lets hope a Manix lightweight in LC200n is coming in the future! Great review btw
Justin Barylski I carry this as secondary knife, and it works great for that. It’s a fully capable fifth pocket knife, and I want to try a g10 version eventually. I really hope they start making more knives in lc200n. That stuff is magical.. thanks buddy:)
Naticve 5 was the knife that showed me a well designed knife can be small and useful ...
Caribbean has Ti screws and clip...
That's wierd this doesn't.
Let me guess spyderco fanboys.. cost? Lol
Great review bro... as always
Yeah man... it gets some much done, comfortably, in such a tight little package, I want to try a g10 version eventually. Man... that milled carbon fiber s90v honka honka
Yeah, I don’t get it🤷🏽♂️I feel like the price warrants ti screws. $120 for a fairly small knife, with mostly mounded plastic. You’re pretty much paying for the backspacer, the blade, and the hardware hahahaha
Thanks buddy:)
InThePocket there’s two different versions with the G10 handle scales.
The 2017 and earlier G10 models are S35VN steel, have full steel liners, and phosphor bronze washers. They weigh 4.7oz I think.
The current G10 models are S30V, do not have the full steel liners, or any washers. They do weigh 3oz if I remember correctly though. $160 vs the FRN models are about $115
The only model of the native 5 that they sell right now with the full steel liners + the washers is the blue G10 but that is also S110V. MSRP is $188 for that one though.
I was looking into getting a native G10 but couldn’t justify the price of the S110V or buying the S30V with what I would consider missing features. Personally I don’t think the G10 is worth an extra $50 over the FRN.
So I recommend looking second hand for the older S35VN native 5 G10. I picked one up on eBay for $100 that was gently used. But I had seen them go anywhere from $90-130 on there. The action on that model is very smooth and I like the weight of it a lot too. I think it is far superior to the other models available.
@Jack Blade Well, the blades themselves are the same amount of rust resistant, both being LC200N. If you're referring to the hardware on the Caribbean ALSO being LC200N, then I see whatcha mean. I have both, and maaan are they both really sweet carries and in two completely different packages, save for the steel.
Great little knife. I just use it when I go to the beach and also fish. Perfect for that
Thanks a lot! This is a GREAT review, down to earth, and insightful. However, if I could give you (unsolicited) feedback, it would be to fiddle less with the knife. You can move it a few times, but it would much better if you left it resting on the mat for longer time, instead of moving it around so much. Specially when you open it and close it so many times in the same way.
Great review. Just ordered it
Great video! I want one now great little worker I keep loosing Spydercos though
luke bilstein Thanks Luke, and yeah, it’s a great “don’t have to worry about it” knife, but you still have to worry about losing it:)
Great video man. Keep on rollin
Blackbear1986 thanks👊
Fantastic review!
Great review. Thanks.
I have the Caribbean sheepsfoot and the edge retention on LC200N is surprisingly good.
My only reservation with the Native 5 Salt is the FRN scales being molded on the inside to act as washers. I keep running across people saying many have blade play as a result. I could see the washer pads settling flush over time though.
Now for my obligatory pointing out how ridiculous it is that we allow people with pens to tell people with guns to tell us how long sharp objects in our pockets can be... for saaaafety. People with guns and qualified immunity, no problem. People with sharp objects in the pockets over 3 inches... Well now it's pay a fine and get in a cage time.
Poet Fisherman thanks:)
Yeah, I don’t love that that fact either, but as long as I tighten down the pivot it doesn’t really have play, but it also won’t be as easy to disengage. Dropping down at least...
Yeah, there’s a whole bunch of bull shit , and misconceptions that just promotes stupid laws. It’s sad...
@@inthepocket7405 ok so I have this knife now and can't keep it out of my pocket.
The weight, the blade geometry, the overall size, the cutting performance, the ergos, ease of sharpening and the total lack of concern over corrosion all come together to keep contenders out of my pocket. I picked up my Mini Domin tonight and forced it decisively into my pocket for work. A second before I walked out the door, I also grabbed my Native 5 Salt.
Poet Fisherman hahaha Awesome man! Glad to hear you’re digging it👍
Hi,
With a Salt 2 in LC200N, based on the Delica 4, coming up, what do you think about the ergoes? Have the DLT Delica in 20CV and sometimes wish the handle would be more handfilling for harder cuts. On the other hand I do like the slightly longer cutting edge of the Delica, especially with an added sharpening choil. Would use them for the beach, fishing and kayacking. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you and Best regards from Germany.
Cheers Lars
How does the 20cv hold up on your example? I have the same delica.
I am happy with it but then I am not a super user and just sharpen the blade when it gets dull.
Cheers
@@larsrauche5233 Glad to hear you're happy with it. Have a wonderful afternoon
Hardware is coated precisely because it is made of steel (as your magnet test indicates) and would rust easily in the environment this knife is intended for. Blade is made from super waterproof steel, hardware isn’t, and that’s why it requires coating.
I understand why they did it... I just just wandering why they wouldn’t just go with titanium. It would probably be the same cost anyways after adding the cost of the coating.
I take this this diving hoods up great
Nice job.
Native 5 LW is in my top three of recommended EDC knives when someone asks me what they should get. I have an S35VN version from a few years and I’m looking forward to getting the LC200N. Really love that steel on my Spydiechef.
Really want to see a salt series comparison video how many models are there?
luke bilstein man, I do know, but I think there’s at least 7 now . I don’t have any of the other ones, but I don’t even feel like I need anymore hahaha maybe the Caribbean eventually:)
Wish a Para 3 with LC200!
I really can’t believe they haven’t done it yet🤷🏽♂️
I've been thinking of getting one. Kind of back and forth on whether I want this one or the Maxamet. Corrosion isn't an issue for me, but the LC200N is damn good steel too, and over 40 bucks cheaper.Thanks for another good review.
Timbo437 it’s a great little knife, and you really can’t go wrong either way. Maxamet is a beast, and it’s on another level, but like you said, lc200n is no slouch. The more I use that steel, the more I like it.
I gotta warn you, LC200N requires sharpening like weekly, if not daily depending on how much you use it. The maxamet might be once a year. There's a huge difference. And, yes, maxamet makes LC look like a slouch. But LC will not rust even after 2 weeks under salt water.
Great video! BCS sales guy sent me! I love niffes!
This knife kicks ass man awesome love the steel one of my favorite steels out there
I picked up a Native 5 in s90v from Cutlery shoppe. Because it was cheap s90v. But I've never used it yet.
Cark Nelson lol I can see that. It’s not the kind of knife you “pride” in carrying it, but it gets shit done when you do. Man... especially with s90. I carry it as a secondary, and there were times it stole the show:)
Great review, I’m torn between this and the para 3 lw.
Can you please make a comparison video when you get the para?
Pascal Heussen absolutely👍
What knife was the one with the holes in the handles? I like it.
The blade is highly corrosion resistant, sadly the hardware is not. It will rust for sure , bladehq did a test proving this
Sluggo Knows I don’t know why they didn’t go titanium on the hardware.
Cool. Would you suggest serrated or plain edge? I work as a sailing instructor so love the corrosion resistant nature of the steel. Serrated good for cutting through ropes/lines, but plain edge seems more versatile... Thanks.
This is a great k off for you, for sure👍 As a sailing instructor, I would say the serrated would serve you well, but the plain edge will be more versatile, like you said, and also be easier to sharpen of coarse.
@@inthepocket7405 Thanks for the reply. I do carry another sailing knife/multitool that has a serrated blade and a marlin spike (latter is for help untying tight knots). So this morning I ordered the plain edge Native 5 Salt... very much looking forward to it!!
Great video!! Can’t go wrong with LC200N!! Thanks for sharing brother!!!
Glock Gaston Thanks brother! Yeah man, great stuff!
What camera do you use for your videos?
I have been eyeing this and the dragonfly 2 salt as well. I feel like they are two perfect knives if the world was to end. You know your knife will last as long as you do at least
World of EDC Yeah, they’re pretty much everything proof:)
Love the native, I may need a Chaparral too now. Glad Blue Collar Survival send me over because I do love knifes!
The paint wont stop magnetism, but it will help prevent rust from forming.
BirdLaw 101 no, I know man. I was putting the magnet to see if it was titanium, and I was saying they might paint the titanium to prevent galvanic corrosion, where two different metals are touching. I’m not sure if that happens between stainless steel and titanium, like it does with stainless and aluminum.
Excellent review, nice little slicer. I haven't picked up a Native yet as I can't decide which version to get, I'm leaning toward the Fluted Carbon Fiber. This vid has inspired me to get one soon. What did think of the MXG Shaman clip?
Hiker Marapese thanks bud:) Dude... that fluted carbon fiber one is so sweet looking. I haven’t handled one, but I want to so bad. This is a great knife, and I’m going to have to get a g10 version next, or just go big, and go for the cf fluted😁 I actually don’t mind it... it doesn’t poke me in the palm like the stock clip does, although the color and finish doesn’t match the knife at all. I’m going to anodize it anyway, and I might polish out the bead blast too.
Great video! I wonder if the back lock, clip, and screws are LC200N like the liners on the Caribbean?
Justin d thanks bud! Well, there’s no liners, but I think the back lock might be. I look everywhere, and couldn’t find It stated, officially at least.
The ARK neck knife kinda appeals to me. Not branded as Salt series but same steel. Apparently so it can be worn 24/7 including youngsters in shared showers, jogging, at gym, as rapist defence, I shit you not. I just like the form factor and sheath retention having recently lost my neck knife
6 minutes of info that takes 25 minutes to watch... if you can read this, save yourselves!!
Exactly!!!
Plenary of other channels that will give you shit for information out there👍 Go to their channels please. Have a nice life
Just ordered the dragonfly in H1 for 60$ off blade HQ. Probably still gonna end up buying the native. I love those yellow frn scales. Can I put a wire clip on the native? How is lc200n in comparison to H1?
Rick Sanchez Nice, that’s a good deal bro👍 You can’t put a wire clip on this unfortunately, but the wire clip would be really good on the native. I haven’t tried H1 personally, but lc200n should have a much better wear resistance, and that what I’ve witnessed in any cut testing I’ve seen with those two steels. Although, I don’t think the corrosion resistance is all that different. Lc200n also has great edge stability, but I don’t know how it would compare, from experience.
@@inthepocket7405 I've since got the dragonfly and i LOVE it. Last night it was all i had on me an i was able to make decent feathersticks. The native hasn't come yet. Imo h1 is a great steel. @Cedric&Adda did some tests and after you sharpen it a few time to remove the burnt steel it improves greatly.
If into fixed blades you should check out G Sakai knives they have a nice selection of h1 fixed blades. I wish more companies used these steels.
👍
its not h1
Never said it was
I just want the yellow handles!
Micah Knepper You have to be the first one I’ve heard say that hahahaba
The Spyderco FOS has (H-1) Salt Knives that have been in salt water for years without any corrosion & LC200N is reportedly better. Do your homework.
Dano Stiltmano I’m not really following what you’re trying to say here. I know that Spyderco used H1 for years before lc200n, and I know that lc200n is reportedly better, and I’ve talked about it in past videos. What did I say that contradicts that?
Native 5 LW is in my top three of recommended EDC knives when someone asks me what they should get. I have an S35VN version from a few years and I’m looking forward to getting the LC200N. Really love that steel on my Spydiechef.
