I was very impressed with this knife when Eric Glesser showed it to me at Shot Show 2015, and I had to make it mine. It does not disappoint.

Just picked me up a 2015 Forum Native 5 with S90v steel. I work a couple miles from the factory in Golden. Got my PM2 there last December. Love these knives. The Native doesn't seem to get a lot of love but it's one of my favorites. Thanks for the vid!
I bought the same S90V version at the FOS 4 years ago too. It was on clearance!
after all these years i finally got one(rex45). wanted to come back since this was the video that sparked my interest first :)
@@v1nnyq nice! Love the native 5 series
I have the same Native 5 and like it. The forward finger choil is great for fine cutting or carving tasks. I love Spyderco's FRN handles, they're study and keep the knife light.
I was just at the Spyderco FOS & bought the 2015 Forum Model for $96! It has S90V Steel, Maroon FRN and I think I'm going to like it a lot
You had me thinking "Hm, not a bad-looking EDC folder," and then you went and brought out three reasons for me not to buy one: the Sage 1 (clipped to my pocket as I type this), the Delica 4 (owned in ZDP-189), and the Leek (which I've now bought several times over). Then you add to that two more interesting-looking knives that I'll probably investigate first.
Great review, as always, but I hope you weren't counting on a commission from selling me a Native 5. ;)
I do love those S30V steels... very nice. Gave your review a like.
The Native 5 has an updated midlock with a stronger spring and different lock geometry, that makes it stronger and less prone to wear (blade play, lock fail, etc.). That's why there's more resistance.
drove by the crucible steel plant today and it got me thinking about getting an s30 or s35vn knife before they stop making the steel for these.
I've never experienced drag with stonewashed finishes, but this looks more bead blasted than stonewashed honestly. Bead blasted blades will definitely have a bit more drag, but that cardboard you were cutting is also super tough. I would blade the material more than the blade in this particular case.
One of my favorite designs. I have one Native 4 and 3 different Native 5's!
I love mine. And made in USA. Fits my hand perfect. Can't tell in n pocket.. handle material feel cheap at first.but my favorite now, grips really good and ligjt
I love my native 5. One of the edc knives I own.
80-100$ depends on where you buy it is a really good deal for s35vn. Now, I like how it looks and seems in performs really well. Another s35vn favorite of mine is Kizer. Not only is the steel good, but also, they really take the whole looks of the knife up another notch. I just think Kizers are very pretty, I have had mine for like 3 years and still looking great, granted, its scratched, kinda dirty and all but hey, still a beauty.
Will see if the price here in europe is still as competitive with all that infuriating mark ups.
Great review mate.
Interesting they didn't put the DB Dent on the lock?
I wouldn't call the finish on the Native 5 stonewashed or bead blasted. It is a polished satin finish--very smooth. So, I'm not sure why that finish would be causing it to hang up at all. It is quite slick.
I am just really loving Spyderco stuff! I love my Endura with the Emerson wave function
I heard another reviewer say he discounted the ergo's bc it is only comfortable (if you have large hands) to choke up on the choil, and holding it otherwise causes your pinky to slip off and a hotspot with the swell against your middle finger. He wished the handle were a little longer. What do you think?
Thanks for mentioning the pm 2. I was flicking mine open and closed watching the video.
Another great video, great knife choices. One question, how does it compare to the Tenacious and or Persistence? Thanks
Huge fan of LW spydies! Great review!
I agree totally, Spydie's LW was the one to change my "heavy means quality" thought.
Hey scout just wondering what companies are the best for camping or bug out
Bought the Maxamet in Grayman. What a sharp blade, I mean this thing cuts it self its so sharp. Yesterday, cutting something in garage, place knife on wife's car trunk. ya, she drove away, knife is lost...$164.00 gone with the wind! Dang....
I have the G10 native, I LOVE it, but totally agree with you in that it IS a bit weighty for the amount of knife you get. Im thinking about adding the lightweight to my collection. Does it have some inset liners? Ive always likened it to a miniature Manix, very ergonomic. So glad they ditched that silly swedged tip. Cheers bro!
Sage1 - I agree! A thing of beauty! Even though these wire-clips started to look cheep and flimsy in my eyes, comparing to the traditional ones. I own the Sage1 and like it a lot (even though I needed to smooth blade's rough edges and polish some of its surfaces) And I like its CF: it's NOT smooth, but grippy! Way to go with CF: don't make your knives' handles smooth, manufacturers!
Now: CKRT - good design and cheep, budget types of steels they use... Too bad for CKRT, IMHO.
the blade shape and handle is perfect just wish i had got the g10 handle most useful blade shade for edc imo
shape lol fat fingers small buttons sorry
Thanks for the review.
Spyderco is my favorite knife company lately. I consider the Delica to be the best EDC knife of the many I own. The Endura is good too, especially with the Emerson Wave feature. This one looks solid too.
Instablaster.
What knife would perform well on quadruple walled super glued card board?
They need an orange and blue handled one. Like the delica!
damn i am definitely considering buying this knife. love light knives the blade steel and also its a small knife so i can carry it with me everywhere
Love the channel I am still looking for a edc large frame folder....I am a tire instalation tech...always cutting rubber hoses and zip ties....and help on thst?
Does this one have skeletonized metal liners?
Great vid. Congrats on reaching 100000 subs! :)
This makes a great EDC knife, why I have two of them.
So was the Native the only US made knife on the table? Considering domestic manufacture and US origin, that is an impressive price.
I believe all spuder co 's are made in the USA. It's just the steel they use that is made everywhere.
+Austin Driver nope, most are made in Seki city, Japan (not just the steel), a few models in Taichung, Taiwan, and a few in China - mainly the budget 8cr13mov line. They only make a handful of models completely in Golden, CO. Even so, Spyderco has great quality control at all facilities, so the products are reliable regardless of where they are made, at least in my experience.

Should i get this one or ritter grip
I am so glad it's not another junk Jupiter made knife I only buy earth made knives
Lol
Native 5 vs Delica 4.
The price is only $80 now. I just ordered mine c:
Y r the blade's so small can they at least make them 5 inches or like most other's 4to6 inches instead of 2 to 3 inches
***** true I figured that an thanks
would you recommend this the g10 native 5 or the sage 1
+Max Benzian Of those three, the Sage 1 is my favorite.
+The Late Boy Scout is there any other in that price range that you would recommend
+Max Benzian Paramilitary 2, Griptilian, too many others to name.
lol some stuff takes some effort like cutting super tuff materials dont blame the knife the right tool for the job helps too
is the s35vn better then s30v
Does this knife have nested steel liners or no?
+Goo Man
Nope, just FRN. I can't feel any flex and it's worth the weight savings, but...
...It's not the smoothest opening knife, which I believe comes from the lack of liners and the partially obscured spyder hole when closed.
My girlfriend can't easily open it one-handed, but I think that it comes down to ergonomics (and her small hands). She can get better thumb leverage with the Delica's higher Spyder hole, so we swapped knives. (I still may buy her a Kershaw flipper for Christmas to see if she likes it better).
The reason it dragged on the cardboard is because it is double walled laminated cardboard. That shit is tough.
I have a old hollow ground one. Practically useless with that 1mm thick grind edge. Not a fan.
Was the earth part necessary? I think we get it spyderco.
I think it's pretty cool that they say that.
Just wait by the time we are all dead all high quality knives will be made on mars. Then yes... Then spyderco will have the last laugh over the other knife companies that didn't say earth.
The government could be making nukes in the moon man, ya never know xD
+Allen C
I love the Earth markings. I'm definitely going to be carrying mine when I drop onto the bug planet!
They say that because they want to prove a point that it shouldn’t really matter where it’s made. At the end of the day we are one people. We are one planet.
Oh, yeah. This knife with Maxamet is $182 now.
Am I just seeing things or did I really see tip-up carry on those CRKT's? Lol.
Great review, nice footage..........audio sucks!! WTF happened???
light weight manix doesn't have washers
Are there people out there that prefer their knife to not have a deep carry pocket clip ?
If so, why ?
It can be harder for some people to get it out of their pocket if the clip is too deep. The wire clip on the Manix 2 lightweight is my ideal depth. I don't like a lot sticking out but I want enough that taking it out is smooth and consistent without having to use a gaudy lanyard.
In my experience, the Spyderco wire clips get caught when you lean against things. I've jacked up the clips on both a Manix 2 and a Dragonfly several times. On one occasion, the Dragonfly got actually got yanked from my pocket. SOGs carry so deep that your pocket can roll up in the top of the clip, making it difficult to extract the knife.
Very nice review. Ty!
Omg 88.- Bugs Dude i pay today here in Europe Vienna Austria 129 Euros, thats crazy. But i cant wait to get my hands on it ;-).
golden colorado usa earth? thats kind of a weird thing to put on a knife
What??? No way.... You wrong!
They had to put Gandij19 on the knife....
Looks more beadblasted imo
Hey congrats on almost reaching 100k subs 5 more to go
never mind you already have 100,061

For the money! Most people don't call $135 "for the money"
Yeah, but people who are into higher end knives know that $135 is just the beginning. Even if they can't afford it.
then they don't know the worth of it
Looks like brushed finish to me.
Rami Abi Akar Yeah, I have one and I'm almost positive it's not stonewashed. I have two Cold Steel Voyagers and they're stonewashed and they look way different than the Native.
Could I get a shout out on your next video, I know you dont do them but would you? I love your videos and I love the fact that we both shop at blade hq and are both from utah! Keep up the good work! Maybe ill see ya around sometime.
-jrdtrapper18
I'm in Utah as well. Utah County. I'll check out your channel.
Holla!!!!!
verygood
Knife companies sorry
Plastic handled knives last a couple months. If theyre over 50 bucks... just not worth the money
