Native 5 Lightweight Rex 45
Re: Native 5 Lightweight Rex 45
Thanks. So, it’s a bit brighter and more orange than the HAP40 FRN?
- best wishes, Jazz.
Re: Native 5 Lightweight Rex 45
It’s definitely a more bold/vibrant orange, not brighter.

Re: Native 5 Lightweight Rex 45
I dunno... I really don't particularly like the FRN colour, or I guess I just prefer the old g10 a lot more...
Re: Native 5 Lightweight Rex 45
Love seeing all these hap40/rex45 collections!

Re: Native 5 Lightweight Rex 45
Nice! Awesome collection. I think the "burnt orange" looks great in all its iterations.

Re: Native 5 Lightweight Rex 45
I'm with you guys, I'm shocked at how many people don't like it! I knew right away once all these Golden models were going to be released, my wallet was going to be in trouble!! Thankfully our pup is doing much better and not going to cost us nearly as much as I anticipated...leaves more room for play money :)

Re: Native 5 Lightweight Rex 45
Well, it had to be done, and it's an absolute 100% perfect fit for both knives... Now I just need to figure out what colour I'm going to Rit the FRN handles to, I'll take suggestions or if anyone has experience with Rit'ing this new FRN colour that would be cool. I'm just sitting here opening and closing it, it is on point, just perfect! :D :)
Panache
Y'know a really neat feature of this knife that isn't part of many Spyderco's is the swedge. It's not super noticeable, or even necessary. But little details like this indicate that the designer wanted to spend an extra five minutes just to make the knife extra cool.
Re: Native 5 Lightweight Rex 45
Looks great! As for the RIT dye, with those orange scales I bet a deep red/burgundy would turn out nicely.JMM wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 9:27 pmWell, it had to be done, and it's an absolute 100% perfect fit for both knives...

Thanks, I'm really happy with how perfectly the blades swapped, you would never know it if, well, you didn't know.... hmmmm :pJuPaul wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 10:28 pmLooks great!

I was thinking the same thing on the scales, I did the deep-red / maroon / burgundy approach to some bright orange Endura scales that turned out well, but could have been a tad darker, so I think starting with a darker shade of orange will make the final outcome a little darker, I will post up when complete!

Re: Panache
It's obvious the Native has been improved time and again. I'm with you on the love for the swedge.RustyIron wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 10:18 pmY'know a really neat feature of this knife that isn't part of many Spyderco's is the swedge.

I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
