From the Editors
Engineered for the human hand, the Native's ergonomic design maximizes cutting ability while minimizing discomfort and fatigue. This model is all about combining performance and comfort. Since the portion of the knife most in contact with the user is the handle, that became key while the model was in initial development on the drawing table. We've created a handle pattern with two separate finger choils. The first choil (where the blade and handle meet) allow positioning the index finger closer to the knife's sharpened edge for control over the cutting surface. Behind the first choil, the second positions the hand farther back on the folder for dexterous cutting while pushing the blade away from you. Bi-Directional Texturing molded into the FRN handle form varying levels of steps minimizing forward or backward sliding. Carved out of the locking lever is a David Boye Dent insuring the lock remains safely engaged even when gripping the handle forcefully. A section of non-sharpened serrations line the blade's spine yield an additional slip resistant point for the thumb. The blade itself is hollow-ground CPM-S30V steel with a weight reducing swedge ground from the spine. A black steel tip-up clip can be placed ambidextrously on both sides of the handle via a barrel-shaped screw that doubles as a lanyard. The PlainEdge variation is pictured below.

Nice Everyday Carry
This is my fourth Spyderco knife: three Endura knives (one AUS-8 and two VG-10 steel). This knife is not as long and sports the new CPM S30-V steel. Supposedly it is an improvement over the VG-10. With hardly any use, the razors' edge on the straight edge was lost. Not a big deal as it was still very sharp. Fortunately I have a Spyderco triangle sharpener that was able to restore the edge.
In some ways I still haven't made up my mind about this knife. I like that it's smaller than the Endura, which makes our children's friends less likely to remark, "Oh my, that's a big knife!" Also, it will easily cut through any paper, rope, webbing, cloth, etc. that you throw at it. However, although the ergonomic properties of the knife are touted, I still think that my Enduras fit better. They truly felt like an extension of my hand. That said, this knife feels like the production quality is higher; it probably is, because this is one of the models made at Spyderco's home in Golden, Colorado rather than in Asia.
These are minor comments though. I must recommend the knife because it is indeed a quality product (the lock seems exceptionally strong) and the steel is (no pun intended) cutting edge. The clip is strong and the knife rides high in your pocket. I particularly like the cuts on the spine for your thumb. It's easy to deploy this knife with the trademark Spyderco opening hole. I imagine that people who intend to use this as a self defense weapon won't be disappointed.
Good every day knife
Not as flashy as some of Spyderco's other offerings this knife has incredible utility. I use it as any everday carry knife. It has an impressive piercing tip and a serrated edge to cut through just about anything (within reason) you can throw at it.
