Definitely.It seems to me the Police 4 vs. Native Chief would be a closer comparison.

Love the concept, a larger native, but don’t need another large since I have Mili and Police4 already. I’ll scratch my Spydie-itch with a teal Dragonfly.......for now
Good luck finding a Renegade. I scored a Blackhawk many years ago and spent way too much time trying to find a clean specimen of it's running mate. Especially a PE. I saw some SE and PS early on but no plain edged.Depends on your point of view.
I already had 4 Police and 5 Millie variations, as well as many other larger Spyders before I grabbed a Native Chief when it was released and before buying a used Bob Lum Large Folder that popped up on EB recently. Still looking for the PE/PS variations of the Renegade which is a larger knife too.
I'm always on the look out for any "large" folder preferably in the 3.5-4" range but 5" just seems a bit too large to me for a folder (like fixed blades better in the length) which is why I am going to sell my Takanka. Have it listed in my signature line FSOT but haven't posted an ad or actively tried to sell if yet. No rush to sell/trade it because I don't "hate" the knife; just don't think it fits that well in my collection.
No Manix XL? (picture)Just received the Native Chief and I like it a lot!
In fact, I think that I actually like it better than the Police 3, Military G10 and Resilience that are pictured with it below. Although it has a 4" blade (give or take a fraction), as all of the others do, it doesn't feel like you are holding a sword, as you do w/the Police 3 and Resilience; its thinner handle is more comfortable to hold than the Military; and, the lack of a hump and the better visual balance between the blade/handle makes the knife generally more aesthetically appealing to me than the others. I'll post further comments after I've had a chance to actually carry it later.
A very nice alternative for those like me who like to carry bigger knives like these (like I do).

Yeah, I'm retired now and that's way out of my price range.I "found" a PE Renegade for sale on EB at auction. I sniper bid $350 figuring no one would pay that much. Someone actually outbid me at $355. Needless to say, I'm still looking for one of those. LOL!!!!
OBTW, I was able to buy a PS Renegade for a much more reasonable price in a private/non-listed deal here on BF.
