Best Native review on YT.
One of the best knives ever especially when supplied with an exotic high end steel and the spring is tensioned for a nice fluid opening snap!
Nicely done Wes. Love the Native series for all those reasons as well.
I like your style dude. Cool knife content.
Just picked one up in Magnacut. I absolutely love it!
This is my favorite knife. It’s just works so well for what I do and ends up in my pocket more than any of my other knives.
One of the best and most ergonomic folding knives ever
The Native 5fills your hand more to give a much stronger grip than something like a Delica. The action is good and is single hand open/close if you practice. The swedge along the spine looks cool. FRN is super strong, grippy and durable whilst being lightweight. I wish it had a deep carry wire clip. I hope they bring out an S45VN Native 5 or something like that.
I'm normally more into bigger knives and I love to fidget. Imagine my surprise after getting my first Native 5 (a LW in SPY27) and finding out I actually prefer it to the Para 3. I next got the S110V in G10 and still not satisfied, I purchased the linerless G10 S30V.
Excellent review.. big Spyderco fan.. keep up the great work!
Great review, great knife! Subscribed...👌
Should all of the teal s90v natives be roughly 62 HRC like yours since they were done in the same batch?
excellent job and comments!!
As for liking the Native I am currently waiting on my second one to be delivered. It's a great knife in so many ways.
Great and detailed review 👍
For some weird reason, I've been getting into backlocks these past few days. My favorite knife is my Native Chief. I also have a couple of Native 5s. A G10 S110V and a LW in CPM-SPY27. I even decided to reassemble my Endura 4. Not I'm thinking of getting a Police 4 or another Endura 4 in a different color. Mine has gray scales. I saw one in green and another one in black.
I started my Spyderco collection with a Manix 2: did not really like the lock. Then PM2: liked that lock better. Eventually a Delica 4: Now that back lock I really like. Then Stretch 2 and Chaparral is on the way. For me, mid mounted back lock or I won't buy it. Why?
1) Visual aesthetics: symmetrical and no ugly knobs protruding.
2) Opening: Once broken in, the blade rolls out butter smooth with light, consistent pressure. Stretch 2 will also open with a quick flick of the wrist.
3) Closing: Once broken in and adjusted, just move thumb back, press, blade falls against finger. Then pinch grip and swipe spine against pant leg. Click. The other locks I've used require pinch grip before releasing the lock. The back lock gives me better control of the knife during the closing operation.
Love the Native 5! I have a few too! I will be picking up the GP Knives Exclusive tomorrow!
Curious to know why you do not have the fluted Carbon Native 5 with s90V steel?
I have carried one for a bit, but to be honest. It’s more than I want to spend on a Native. I view them more as a working knife and the CF is better utilized on a different platform. I also think it’s way overpriced considering the teal version is half the price.
@@ThePocketPerspective cool. Thanks for the insights. I love my Native 5 salt! I just find the FRN tearing at my pockets a bit too much
Great review. Liked & Subscribed.
Nice review wes! Good to see a vid of one of your most carried knives. I have one in maxamet that I put to work. Ergos are fantastic. What would you say are your other top 3/5 spydercos you mentioned?
PM2 is my favorite, the rest in no particular order. Para3 LW, Native LW, Manix 2, Lil’ Native.
@@ThePocketPerspective great list!
great, detailed review. Can you provide a link for the deep carry after market clip?
Anyone know why they decided to go with the s30 on native 5 you can't really find the s35 anymore?? The only choices nowadays are the s90, s30, maxamet, rex 45 and, s110 etc.
Another great review, good job man! Side note: my OCD always makes me cringe when I hear reviewers say para 3 lol
That's literally the name Spyderco gave the knife. It's called Para 3, not PM 3, not paramilitary 3. Other reviewers aren't shortening the name, it's name is Para 3.
I like your content, but you really need different music... the glitchhop poppy techno really doesn't fit the aesthetic you have going here. Its also a touch loud. I'd argue some like mellow jazz or something.
I get what you're saying but all of them use this jazz mellow style...
I like the vibrant happy vibe this setup gives... It's just he looks more serious as a person that gives the mixed feelings...
Do you have a Manix2 review? Specifically the lightweight. Thanks.
Good information, yet very slow delivery and long video. This is TH-cam, please try to cut your video time. We all have lives.
Wish the Native had a deep carry wire clip
Lynch makes a really nice titanium deep carry clip, which I think will be the closest you will come to what you are looking for.
Off topic but the Delica needs a new steel at the very least to stay competitive these days.
Griptilain mini or native 5?
Get both
Native 5 is more comfortable in hand. I don’t really like the mini-grip, despite the full size being one of my favorite designs of all time.
Frn scales I don't care for at all and it is a fancy word for plastic. But I have many spydercos. But I'm man enough a little bit of wait doesn't hurt. It's a way for spyderco to market their knife because they're prices are going up and by using plastic they can reduce the cost. Good video. I do own a native 5 love the ergonomics but when I bought it I knew I was just paying for the blade . And I dont really believe spyderco listen to there customers . I messaged them with what myself and people I know thought would be great for spyderco to do and they never would come back and say jump in a lake or thanks nothing yet I messaged other companies and they always got back and said thank you or something. Companies don't know what people want if the customer doesn't let them know. Good video brother 👍
FRN is not just a "fancy word for plastic" as there are many different types of plastic with different chemical makeups and strengths/weaknesses... You didn't even use the right word, you literally said "wait" instead of weight... Its not just a way for them to save money in manufacturing, lightweight versions serve multiple purposes... A company not responding to a message about what you (a random person) think they should do is not indicative of them not listening to their customers, they listen to reviews and media that consumers put out as well as designers that have a grasp on what the public want... Basically your comment makes you sound like an uneducated angry caveman.
@@maxtm3000 well I'm not angry so I don't know we're you got that from . And it's not just my opinion. And I make knives myself . But you sound like an angry person.
I tried out the Native 5 LW and had to send it back. It was in S30v steel even tho the specs and pics on the site said s35vn... but that was not the real issue. It was off center by a large margin from the factory. I mean the blade scraped the FRN on one side which is not good. The lock back feature took real effort to release the blade.. I mean red face crap the pants kind of energy to close this damned knife. In summary I would not recommend anyone to buy this. Also did some background checks about it maybe being a fake version but turns out it was not.
Never had a single issue with any of my native 5's, I have 4 of them... all of them came from the factory centered, proper blade steel was listed when purchasing, lock tension was firm but not ridiculous.... your issue sounds either fabricated entirely, a counterfeit knife, or just a one in a million bad unit from the batch... I would hardly say that gives you grounds to "not recommend anyone buy one".
@@maxtm3000 Why would I want a knife so badly that Id pay today's somewhat inflated price and then start to fabricate lies about it? I get that you are a fan since you own 4, but Im not sure it's a quality control problem just for the Native 5 LW. I started poking around the web to see if anyone else had issues with the FRN version of different Spyderco models and sure enough I found enough complaints for it to raise concern. If I was to wager a guess Id say that in the effort of trying to make a much lighter knife that it's G10 counterpart these issues can arise. I own other Spyderco's in G10 version and never had a problem. These G10 versions do often sport things like dual liner's to make them much more rigid but that makes them weigh more aswell. Anyways I voiced my concern to the dealer I got the knife from and got a full refund in the end.
That is NOT how one centers a blade.
Yeah,that made me wince😀
