Wonder when this will drop. Need to plan accordingly.

The price seems to be a bit high to me. More expensive than the Para 3 released over the summer, and only $30 less than the much larger Military that just dropped.

Yeah, prices keep climbing, thats for sure. I assume this one is on the high side foe a Native due to the DLC coated lockbar and backspacer. More DLC coated parts = more $$$. That why the St Nicks Delica ended up costing so much. They DLC'd everything. Id rather pay more and have DLC everything than save a few bucks and have a weird mix of DLC and Satin like people are complaining about the spacers being satin on the DLC Millie.

Expensive? That's no reason to pass. LOL'd
Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Native 5 Linerless Natural G10 DLC CPM-M4
Price of the satin version last year was $155, so $10 more for DLC seems downright reasonable. Well, that’s the silver lining for those that need a bit of justification. Otherwise, you can think of it as being *consistently* high priced.

That 40 year Native it beautiful.
Any release date on the DLC M4 yet?

I'm still drooling over this one. Haven't been carrying a 3 inch blade since I got my police 4. My previous go to Para 3's fun fidget factor started to seem more of an annoyance after getting accustomed to the Spyderco backlock. Every time the blade bounces open instead of a full smooth close I feel compelled to so it again until I get it to stick. On the other hand I really enjoy my LW s90v native, but prefer g10, and I've actually yet to pick up anything in M4. I've also yet to pick up any BHQ exclusives so this checks a lot of boxes for me. And it's dropping around tax return time :)

Well, technically it’s still linerless :)

Where'd you get that clip? It goes really well with the fluted CF.
Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Native 5 Linerless Natural G10 DLC CPM-M4
By far, the best looking Native I've ever seen. Definitely pocket jewelry! I wouldn't even cut a sheet of paper with that baby!

With the M4/DLC blade I don't see why you wouldn't want to use it. I've been thinking about getting the fluted cf S90V Native so I can enjoy the scales and not worry about using my 40th Native. Thinking about it, what I should do is just borrow the handle and use a blade from one of my LWs. Hmm....
That knife looks great RS!
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Native 5 Linerless Natural G10 DLC CPM-M4
Thanks for the pics! Can't wait to finally make this a long waited reality as well.
Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Native 5 Linerless Natural G10 DLC CPM-M4
Wow! Absolutely breathtaking :eek: Thank you so very much for sharing. I can’t hardly wait for mine!
Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Native 5 Linerless Natural G10 DLC CPM-M4
I agree on using the M4/DLC...my Para 3 version is possibly my favorite user knife. I'm just saying in terms of those beautiful scales and pocket clip, I guess I went a little overboard haha. I was just in awe of the looks of this thing.Sharp Guy wrote: ↑Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:07 pmWith the M4/DLC blade I don't see why you wouldn't want to use it.

On all the models I have seen the DLC versions typically cost $10.00 more.
The price is a fair price considering the M4 Steel.
I will be buying one and am circling a Fluted CF model as well after seeing how great the one shared here looks. S90V is no slouch either. M4 DLC Married to Fluted CF Oi Mate now that's a Knife!!
Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Native 5 Linerless Natural G10 DLC CPM-M4
Wow! That’s really impressive RS!

Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Native 5 Linerless Natural G10 DLC CPM-M4
Thank you guys, I appreciate the comments. The CF clip is made by Aramis Ahkmedov in Russia, who has a webstore on both Amazon and eBay. Can’t possibly recommend his stuff any more highly, I have a few PM2, Para 3 and ZT scale sets from him that are phenomenal quality and I have 3 of these CF clips. They are extremely strong and while I won’t say someone couldn’t break them if snagged hard enough, it would take a mighty snap to do so, they’re that tough (on par with any metal clip).
That said, here’s more eye candy with a fluted Ti N5 with S110V blade and polished Ti Lynch clip I put together a couple of years ago. Hope you like them. :) Cheers, Radioactive

I thought my fluted carbon Native 5 was perfect the way it was!
Nicely done sir!
