2018/2019 Native Sprints?
Will we see a 52100/Peel Ply CF sprint and a Cruwear/Gray G10 sprint of the Native 5 soon?
Anyone hear any rumors about either of these?

No rumours about either of those that I've seen. As a fan of the Native 5 I'd find both of those hard to resist. Spyderco likes to surprise us every now and then. Let's just hope we're pleasantly surprised!
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: 2018/2019 Native Sprints?
Honestly, between Maxamet and s110v, my Native desires are fully sated.
I'd love to see a 52100 Manix, though. :)

It would be great to see more sprints in M390.
Linerless G-10 for the Native, please.

I thought there was talk of a LW in Cruwear.

Re: 2018/2019 Native Sprints?
If it was dlc and jade g10 count me in. I have really come to like those jade scales with the dlc blade. The satin didn't really catch my attention. I would also like to see a m390 version as well. While I'm wishing here my third wish would be a Manix 2 made the same way. No liners and maybe just carbon fiber? I wonder how light that would be? Pretty close to a lw I would say.Spydergirl88 wrote:need M4 linerless g10

Re: 2018/2019 Native Sprints?
I’m really interested in giving the linerless g10 Native a shot. Something in a fun bright color would be great. Cutlery shoppe should do an orange exclusive!

All that and a deep-carry wire clip please. After all, they did it with the Lil' Native comp lock.

Now you're encroaching on the current "build your ideal Spyderco" thread, and why not?olywa wrote:All that and a deep-carry wire clip please. After all, they did it with the Lil' Native comp lock.
So although redundant, here's what I said there:
Native 5 in linerless carbon fiber scales with rounded edges. M390 steel with 2.5 mm thickness at the spine, stone washed finish. Compression lock. Deep carry wire clip. No lanyard hole.

Re: 2018/2019 Native Sprints?
I would happily open up my wallet to more Native sprints this year, preferably in the LW variation. The release of the Native salt in on my radar (although I would have rather seen it in all satin hardware). Cruwear, M4, xhp, Elmax, or M390 would be welcomed surprise.

Re: 2018/2019 Native Sprints?
Absolutely. If we had to choose between DLC and Satin for future M4/Jade exclusives, then DLC all the way. But if they can keep getting future runs in both finishes, more power to them, and i'll definitely pick up a satin as well.MMGRenovations wrote:If it was dlc and jade g10 count me in.

Re: 2018/2019 Native Sprints?
It looks like people are varied in their preferences between lightweight FRN, linerless G10, or fully lined G10/CF. My preference, especially in the "tougher" steels like Cruwear, 52100, M4, etc is for a fully lined G10 or PPCF. Nice tough steels in a solid tank-like package. That is what i'm talking about. That is really my ideal EDC. :)

Re: 2018/2019 Native Sprints?
I do agree that people varied in their preference for scales. I do like titanium best for its toughness and the ability to change its color, so it's very customizable. I then favor carbon fiber. It's light and nice to look at. If it's smooth it's a bigger plus. I find I like G10 the least. I don't like it so much just because of how bad it tears up pockets. I easily pull out my knife 10 times a day. I have lots of pants that look ok for work except the pocket.steelcity16 wrote:It looks like people are varied in their preferences between lightweight FRN, linerless G10, or fully lined G10/CF.

I do agree that the native with liners feels like a tank. I used a blurple native quite a bit till my painter stole it. That knife always felt rock solid. I recently acquired a Frankenative, it's the fluted carbon fiber handle with a s35vn blade. I plan to swap the blade for a maxamet blade. I'm curious to try out maxamet and the new native construction. I want to see if it feels just as solid. I do like how light the knife is.

Re: 2018/2019 Native Sprints?
Yes but I don't think anybody said that it would specifically be a Sprint so I'm still hoping that will be regular production. :Dbearfacedkiller wrote:I thought there was talk of a LW in Cruwear.

Re: 2018/2019 Native Sprints?
I'd prefer the Cruwear continue the Gray G10 theme. Its a tougher steel that would match well with a full liner G10 frame. I wouldn't be opposed to them doing both versions though!

Yes, but why all SxxVx?!!! Nothing in any of my favorites...Cruwear, M4, 52100, 3V, 4V, PD-1. The first three in that list need to come to a lined G10 or PPCF Native asap. The last three I will keep my fingers crossed for some surprise sprints.
Will also be hoping for a Red M390. That one would be sweet in DLC as well.

Why no Native love in the best combos? BHQ or DLT better come through with a Native this year!
