If they threw some liners in this and a compression lock this would have potential to out shine the pm2.
Really can't see why it would need liners. The back lock is a lot of metal. Cold Steel doesn't use liners on the Triad lock knives very often either.
@@SliceyDicey Agree. Feel liners are only neccessary with compression lock. I haven't got my hands on the para3 light weight to see how they designed it
Agreed. No to liners... especially with this blade stock.
liners would add weight.
hoping they make a salt version in lc200n!
I'm a Native fan but was really on the fence about this one until you did the comparison against the PM2. Changed my perspective greatly and pushed me a little closer to the "yay" camp.
I love the design of the blade. Spyderco is stepping up its game!
Just got shipping notice. Thanks knifecenter I can’t wait for this. I’m a large guy so I like longer knives. I wouldn’t pry with this. Pure slicer!!
Love the pocket part, tells me some real practical info on any knife.
I don’t usually go for knives this big, but I love the looks of this one. I just couldn’t resist.
Yeah. Me either. I mean... I get them for the channel, but they aren't keepers. This one is.
One of Spyderco's very best looking folders, IMO. This is more knife than I have a use for -- my Endura V-Toku2 and a couple of slick TwoSuns have my own big folder needs covered -- but Eric might have me with a lightweight, 3.5" blade length iteration of this design!
Impressive turnaround on the time from purchase to review. Side note: your blade show videos were great! Anyone can film a knife booth, but it was cool to see/hear you talk about your interaction with others in the knife community.
Thanks! I had nothing do in a car for fourteen hours than flip knives around, so it was easy to get the review done fast.
Excellent review (as usual). I have been lusting after the Shaman for a while but haven't bought one yet but . . . now I"m smitten by the Native Chief.
You should at least borrow a cold steel broken skull for a comparison. Yeah it has black blade and a dumb name, but it is the easiest to carry four inch blade folder there is, 3.1 oz. and .30 inch thick grip. Another competitor would be the manly peak, 3.7 inch blade, 4 oz., S90V, $117.
That’s one sexy beast. I’m a spyderco fan boy, I want the shaman first, but this is definitely on the list. I have three natives, love them.
My favorite knife (I can't afford) is a Spyderco Native 5.
It's pleasing, for sure, if the useable blade length suits. The Salt version is a step up in fit 'n' finish and feel in hand quality compared to the previously produced lightweight model, irrespective of the LC200N blade alloy and fitments upgrade... coming at the cost of a strangely higher friction deployment. Be aware, Native 5's are not too accommodating to Spydieflick opening methods. I own both Salt and S35VN models.
@@frederickj.7136 Thanks for all the info. Bruce
@ Spike... Bruce, you are more than welcome. FYI, I have had very good luck myself finding what are 'as-good-as-they-ever-get' individual examples of popular Spyderco models on auction at eBay. Mine all came as "new, unused" 'safe queens', as the expression goes; and a number appear to have been cherry picked (or just lucky scores), which is why they were kept around in reserve like that for some time (years) by Spyderco enthusiast / collectors. Production knives do vary, even among pricier models; and the difference can certainly matter, as far as I'm concerned.
Or find a solid, smaller, proprietorship kind of dealer and establish a relationship. For any Native 5, I can heartily recommend Rob at National Knives, LLC for a number of reasons; but particularly here, because the Native 5 is a personal favorite Spyderco model of his, which he knows and understands well, indeed. My S35VN Native 5 came from eBay, as described; and my Salt version came from Rob. Good luck!
@@frederickj.7702 Thank you very much again. Your willingness to share your experience with someone who obviously has less is appreciated. Bruce
Besides checking eBay for bargain buys, also keep an eye out for Amazon's warehouse deals. I got my 2018 Native 5 a few months ago at a 25% discount simply because the box was crushed. And then they gave me another 33% discount on the sale price because they'd advertised it as the regular S35VN version whereas the 2018 version has S30V bladesteel, which is good enough for me at half price😁
This is the Native I've always wanted them to make
Ordered mine the day you showed it at blade show.
Thanks, Bryan. It's too big for me, but I still want one! For anyone who wants to see it disassembled, the man himself Eric Glesser has a good one on the Spyderco channel. You can tell he's into his work.
Just got the rex45 version. It's crazy how long and light it is. I don't even feel it in my pocket.
Cool knife. I will wait for the lightweight version though...you know it has to be coming.
This is great for its size without taking up your whole pocket. Bet it slices well too.
Ordered one from KSF the day you showed this one from Blade Show. Enabler!
Great weight for a knife of that size!
I’m sure this will be a good knife for spyderco. Great review. As usual I won’t be getting one because of crappy knife laws.
I didn't realize how much I want this in s110v until you mentioned it.
Also, I think the Native Chief is going to be a better knife than the Military. The Police 4 however, I'm not so sure.
I think I'll stick with my Millie's until they do a BHQ M4 version of the Chief which I'll be all over.
I wish they would come out with a lower blade steel version...a bit more affordable. It’s a great price point for the knife they put out, but out of my price range. Looks awesome though. Good review
Maybe they'll do a LW someday. But my guess is that they feel the Endura fits that slot.
It's just the kind I would want for a first (and, perhaps, only) carry... Is there a smaller version with a compression lock? Right now considering the Sage 5, but would live a slimmer, more classic profile, which this knife has.
Love this guy!
kinda want one now
Put some k390 steel on it and they’d never sell another knife again
Envious of that tighe fighter.... I’ve always wanted a tighe button lock of some sort. Video soon, yes?
Yep! Not sure if I'll keep it long term or not. Was definitely an impulse buy. It's VERY cool, but not sure how much I'll carry it.
It's about time.
Glad to hear your positive review as I want one of these. I believe it will be a big seller and I'm going to wait the Fluted Carbon Fiber S90V version!
Battle to the death with TRM atom plz
How would you compare this with the trm atom? They look so similar. Thanks slicey
It's on Drop right now for the same price.
I wish the handle was contoured
This or the shaman I just can’t decide
With the long and stabby/pokey-ness of the Native chief... Have you ever broken a blade throughout your handling?
Only one. I broke some old CRKT a couple years ago. I don't remember what it was. Some sort of M16 variant.
I am a black smith. Could I send you a knife to review?
👍
Spyderco says it's not out yet. How did you get it?
Blade Show. But it's been in stock and then sold out again on many sites.
@@SliceyDicey On Spyderco and BladeHQ they are not released yet.
@@SliceyDicey BladeHQ says pre-order and Spyderco says "coming soon".
Dunno man. I know several people that got them and my wholesale distributor had them in stock for quite awhile. I think the just sold out of a bit.
I really love the design but it's too long for me.
I disagree on your assessment of the blade length compared to the pm2, you lined up the pivots, which makes the blade tip stick out a bit more the the pm2, but given the differences in the location of the finger choil, there really isn't as much difference in the length of the cutting edge. Yes, it has a bit more, but rather than the half-square length difference that appears in your review, it is much closer to only a 1/4 square difference (is that a 1" square grid?). in fact, when you closed them and lined them up for the closed length comparison, the length difference is just about a 1/4 square difference.
I think if you aligned the beginning of the sharped edges, you will find that the slight extra blade length difference in the native chief is just about explained entirely by the extra length when closed.
I have no dog in this fight. I just felt that the blade length comparison was done too quickly and inaccurately that it might mislead some folks.
I do agree that you get a lot of blade in a nice skinny carry package. Thanks for showing us these knives!
One question I have for you is, for your money, would you take this or the Hogue doug ritter? they are basically the same price point.
I have them both in front of me. The Chief is an easy half inch longer. The Ritter and this don't really compare much. The blade on the Chief is much longer. Price is sort of the only place they're similar.
Have you seen LuvThemKnives video about the m390 heat treat. What are your thoughts?
I leave all of that stuff to those guys. They do a better job at it than I ever will.
Carl Clarke The 50 of my viewers that truly care about that, would just tell me that I did it wrong, so why bother? There are a lot of us that make Knife videos and they do what they do well. No need for me to.
Slicey Dicey, you're misunderstanding what they're asking, LTK dropped a bomb yesterday with their testings conclusion, that m390 is a bogus steel and should be avoided in production knives. This guy's asking what you make of this conclusion. Knives using m390 are going to take a hit to their reputation from this.
This one gonna be HUUUUGE for Spyderco
Why 4.1" and not 3.9"?????? Technically I can't carry this knife, sad story.
Metal Effort move to Texas, there are NO ILLEGAL knives in this great state
