When Spyderco combined brown canvas Micarta handle scales with a CPM CRU-WEAR tool steel blade, we created an “instant classic.” Based on popular demand, we are proudly applying this old-school theme to our most in-demand models, including the venerable Native 5. In this expression of the design, its full-flat-ground blade is crafted from tough CPM CRUWEAR and handsomely satin finished for low-friction cutting performance. Its sturdy back lock mechanism and stainless steel backspacer are couched between Micarta scales that are sanded smooth to naturally patina with age. Consistent with the Native 5’s symmetrical style, it includes a polished four-position hourglass clip that offers a choice of left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry. A stunning addition to our “Cru-Carta” family, this knife is sure to please both collectors and serious users alike.
