Sal, any hope for a Cruwear Native 5 in dark gray G10?

[Larry_Mott]

Native Cruwear/G10 - Yay!
Native Cruwear/FRN - Meh!

So you actually own both?

No i don't, for obvious reasons. It was more a reaction over the thought of a Cruwear Native. I have no interest in a FRN Native.

Fair enough, but I own both Natives and I can promise you the FRN gets carried way more and it as strong a pocket knife as anything you would need a Native for. But don't believe me man, try an N5 LW sometime. Really light and strong little cutter

[Larry_Mott]

I have the 2015 forum Native and had an "ordinary" FRN Native 5, handled a G10 one and liked it much better, so i am not basing my opinion on hearsay :)
Fair play to you for preferring the FRN, but i do believe a Cruwear Native "deserve" for lack of better word to be a G10 model.

Bumping...this is still number 1 on my want list. I know Sal has mentioned in previous threads that a Native LW in Cruwear is a strong possibility. Show your support for what would be fantastic knife!

I really like Cruwear and, as I said originally, I'd be in for a Native with it. Lately, I've been really enjoying my Natives with S35VN. So I'm in no real hurry to pick one up with different steel. If happens it happens.

I wish I had an S35VN Native to enjoy... unfortunately massdrop sent me an S30V. :rolleyes: Ive been looking on the bay for a deal on an older pre-CQI S35VN with liners. Probably will grab one during the next coupon code day.

[steelcity16]

Seconded.

Thirded...how has it been almost 2.5 years and no Cruwear Natives?? This is the year...this is the year...this is the year... :)

I'd really like my Cruwear Native 5 in g10. I own 2 lw native 5s, 0 g10. Linerless g10? I'd be happy with any configuration really.

[Baron Mind]

P.s light gray g10 or dark gray would be fine. Not sure of dark gray is reserved for maxamet now or what.

Another vote for a Cruwear Native w/dark gray G10 here. Make it with hot pink scales for all I care, I just want one lol.

Yeah, the color is not a big deal for me either, as long as it is a solid color (no marbling) and Peel Ply texture (not smooth..yuck) and not carbon fiber...lol. :)

I'm really shocked we haven't seen a Cruwear Native and Native LW yet. :confused: :confused: :confused: The Natives doesn't get nearly enough love in the exclusive/sprint world. But look how fast the BHQ M4 DLC Native sold out. The market is there. Bring on the Cruwear, 4V, 3V, Rex45, 52100, CTS-XHP, and CTS-204P!

[awa54]

Yeah, the fact that this hasn't happened yet is a bit baffling. I don't own a linerless G10 N5 and I can't think of a better introduction to it than a CruWear Sprint!

[Jazz]

Hook us up, E Man. :D

[RadioactiveSpyder]

This gray Cruwear and an orange XHP linerless G10 N5, I’m starting to feel like a broken record around here! An item I’ll definitely be bugging the Spydercrew about at this weekend’s OKCA show. :)

[rabbitanarchy14]

i would love a native 5 to go along with my lil native compression lock. but i have had too many bad experiences with backlocks. i am actually giving them another try and am looking at the dragonfly vtoku 2 or a vg10 frn version.

Please bug them! Cruwear has to happen in the Native! A DLC XHP in Orange G10 would be awesome as well. DLC Rex-45 with Burnt Orange G10, DLC 52100 with Dark Grey G10, and DLC 4V with Red G10 are also at the top of my want list.

[Cscottsss]

Yeah, I'd be all over a Cruwear G10 Native.

How about a DLC coating with the Grey G10 to match the Knifeworks exclusive Manix 2?

[anycal]

I have been a Native 5 LW guy since my :spyder: early days. But ever since I got the BHQ Native 5, I can't stop thinking about the next G10 flavor. Cruwear is easily on top of my wish list.

This is pretty much my exact experience. I was a Native LW fanatic, but the DLC M4 Native in Jade G10 has really blown me away. I still rotate the Native Salt, but for future Natives the G10 is probably my preference at this point if given the choice. Id still buy any Native LW in a new steel though.

Cruwear, 4V, 3V, and Vanax are at the top of my list, then Rex45, 52100, and CTS-XHP. A G10 Native Salt in LC200N would be cool too!
