Any idea when the Maxamet Native is going to be available?
My only complaint is that the knife rides too high & being smaller is not secure in the pocket. They should add a OEM deep carry clip or wire DCC.
Gorgeous!^
I keep my dust collectors in a trunk. Does this help?
rolf
Sell them to buy more Natives Just keep Natives and Calys.What am I going to do with the knives that will be collecting dust because of this one?
Finally got one, so figured I spark up this thread.
Happy and sad.
It exceeded my expectations. I can't believe how much I like using it.

It is a flat ground blade with small spine swedge. Older versions were hallow ground with a bigger swedge.
Big mistake. I like all Natives. I own few originals, N4 and N5. I used to have N2 as well. Native5 is cream of the crop. I will not say that this is "must have" knife. Everybody is different, but Native5 is certainly "must try" knife. There are a lots of people, who never were Native lovers but were pleasantly surprised by Native5. I carry of of my Natives5 every day.I like the newer look.
I'm still enjoying carrying and using my S35VN lightweight.
A question:
I'm considering eventually getting an S35VN Native 5 in G10, and would like to know how it clips to the pocket. Meaning, is the G10 particularly rough at the contact point with the clip? Or does it grip well while being easy enough to clip in and pull out without chewing up pocket fabric? I'm considering the G10 one for when I'd like to carry a Native 5 clipped, while carrying the lightweight when I'd need or prefer down in-pocket carry.
