Originally released in 1997, the Native 5 is arguably Spyderco’s most ergonomic folder. The handle features two prominent curves: one a finger choil for choking up, the other towards the butt of the handle for finger placement when tackling more strenuous tasks. It locks firmly with the built-in back lock. No matter your carry style, the Native 5 has you covered thanks to its four-way clip, too. Depending on the model you receive, it's guaranteed to have a premium steel. The base model features CPM-S110V for superior corrosion resistance. Upgrades come with either Maxamelt or a combination of S90V and CPM-154 steel.
