Native 5 Fluted Titanum Pln

The Native has long been a standard in the Spyderco product line. With the original first released in 1997, it blazed a trail as an affordable, extremely ergonomic, lightweight folder. Over the years the Native Clipit has also evolved to yield several generations of the design, and ultimately into the Native 5. The pinnacle of the Native 5's evolution and perhaps the most dramatic expression of the pattern is the new Fluted Titanium Native 5. Precision machined from solid 6AL 4V Titanium, its handle scales feature a stunning CNC machined sunburst-pattern texture. Mated to a spear point blade made from premium CPM-S35VN stainless steel by a highly refined back lock mechanism that was the product of extensive research and years of development. The FFG (full-flat grind) blade is distal tapered, with an understated swedge. The forefinger choil complements the dramatic style of the handle, while providing exceptional control and solid cutting performance. Proudly manufactured in Spyderco's factory in Golden, Colorado, the Native 5 is assembled with flat-head Torx® screws that allow the use of a four-position hourglass clip. This enables the user to configure the knife for tip-up or tip-down carry on both the left and right sides of the body and makes the Native 5's operation completely ambidextrous. This exquisitely crafted knife combines the enhanced function of the Native 5 design with stylish collector-quality pride of ownership. The winner of the coveted American-Made Knife of the Year award at the 2011 Blade Show, it is a shining example of Spyderco's commitment to knifemaking excellence.
