Birthday coming up - thinking of a small EDC Spydie...
and I'm sort of taken by the L'il Native... Any owners of one care to chime in on how it does?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I like it.
It's a lil para 3.
built like a tank. Small but feels good in hand.
If you have big hands it might be not your thing.

The Lil Native compression lock is amazing. I carry it every day and have since it was first released. The DLC version is sweet

I carried a Lil’ Native for months. Surprised me that it is such a good edc knife. Don’t be swayed by the talk about a “thick” blade. It is 3 mm at the spine and slices like crazy. It is truly a little big knife.

i kind of want one, but only because we have a ridiculous blade length restriction at work. my current work carry is a cold steel tuff lite and dragonfly 2 salt se. both are good knives, but neither is very classy. a blacked out li'l native salt with compression lock would be nice. if it were in lc200n, it would be more irresistible.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

I was looking for a light weight, good looking knife with a blade length of 2-2.75". Really wanted something that would blend in with any attire, and after having a Para 3 I knew it had to be a compression lock. The Lil' Native seem to check off all the boxes. I have only carried it one day, but it does disappear in my pocket. It feels good in hand, and it's a very nice looking knives.
Re: Birthday coming up - thinking of a small EDC Spydie...
The lil Native or any flavor of Dragonfly. I'm partial to the hawkbill DFly myself. I'd also recommend the McBee but I think they are currently unavailable.
Lil Native is a stout knife that is light in the pocket. Good steel, good lock, good action. No complaints. Wish they'd make a hawkbill version :D

Respect to all Lil’ Native owners and good to hear you all enjoy it so much for various reasons.
I had one and sold it. For me the Lil’ Native is too short in comparison to its thickness. As mentioned here it is build like a tank. If you search for such a build the Lil’ Native is a good buy. IMO the Chapparal is a better choice or even the dragonfly. The blades of these knives are thinner. For me they slice a lot better. However all depends on your uses.

The Lil Native is great. It’s my office carry during the work week. Small, stout and slicey.
Re: Birthday coming up - thinking of a small EDC Spydie...
Despite the pressure of new knifes coming in to the collection, the Lil Native comp lock has yet to be kicked out of my EDC rotation.
The Chaparral and Dragonfly are nice but I've long since moved on from back locks for EDC. The only back locks I still have are safe queens. Same with the Para 3. If I want to carry that style, I reach for a Paramilitary 2.
