Spyderco Native 5 Knife

Spyderco's Native 5: An American-Made Signature Knife

Since its initial release in 1997, the Native has been a mainstay in Spyderco's product line, exemplifying the company's commitment to American-made quality and innovation. Now in its fifth generation, the current Native 5 proudly reflects Spyderco's tireless focus on Constant Quality Improvement (C.Q.I.).

The ergonomic handle of this knife features a solid stainless steel back spacer and textured G-10 scales. The linerless construction reduces weight while ensuring impressive structural strength and solid support for the knife's highly refined back lock mechanism. The result of extensive research, development, and testing, the Native 5's back lock redefines the state of the art in the engineering and execution of this elegantly simple mechanism, offering increased strength, an exceptionally smooth action, an improved self-close function, and greater resistance to wear and tear than previous versions.

The blade is crafted from CPM S30V stainless steel and features a full-flat grind, a distal taper, and an understated swedge, combining to offer both a distinctive appearance and exceptional edge geometry. A forefinger choil supports the option of a "choked up" forward grip, providing increased leverage and control during use. The fully accessible Round Hole ensures swift, positive opening with either hand, complementing the back lock and stout four-position hourglass clip to make all aspects of the Native 5's carry, deployment, and operation completely ambidextrous.

Spyderco takes great pride in every knife they make, but the ones crafted in their Golden, Colorado factory are particularly special, as the company invests a piece of themselves in every USA-made knife. The Native 5 is available in a variety of handle choices and colors, ensuring there is an option to suit every preference.
