The Native5 represents an evolution in American knifemaking with a bold G-10 handle and nitrogen-hardened CPM-S35VN blade.
The Native5 is Spyderco’s first production folder made using Crucible Inc. powdered technology CPM-S35VN steel. Its flat-ground blade is PlainEdged with a weight reducing spine-swedge made using CPM-S35VN. The steel is similarly structured to Crucible’s CPM-S30V but with the addition of niobium (columbium) carbides along with vanadium and chromium carbides. Niobium makes steel tougher while improving its resistance to wear and chipping and offers improved edge retention over basic smelted high-chromium steels.
The black G-10 handle harbors dual skeletonized liners, a full-length back spacer and a back lock. First introduced to the knife industry decades ago, back locks have undergone many refinements and through better manufacturing techniques are among the safest and easiest locking systems to operate. Today’s American-made back-locks have better self-closing ability, smoother action, solid lock-up and ease-in push-release opening for a higher caliber of lock.
