Ooooh that’s a thing of beauty. I wonder how it would look with a progressively graduated polish…some hammering and stonewashing on the spine would look amazing too…
I think that’s my dream Spydie right here… I snagged a Lightweight S30V on discount years ago and fell completely in love with the ergos. Wife did to, of course, and took that one.
So I’ve moved onto other knives, but that fluted CF & S90V just keeps calling to me.
Funny, my wife has done that with a few of my knives! A Dragonfly and Delica. Now I have to borrow my own knives if I want to carry one of those haha!
This Native sure is a unique beauty. I believe its up to $300 these days?? If you create an account at National Knives, they typically discount the price a bit once you’ve logged in. Otherwise you have to wait for holiday sales where it may come down a bit in price.
Yep, there has been a steady increase in sticker prices over the years… Not quite as bad as the “butterfly tax,” though.

I love the RPD badge! ![]()
Double shot because I missed a day:
