I have had this knife for a few months now. This is my first Spyderco and my impressions of the Native series and of Spyderco are very good as a result of this purchase. Locks up solidly with absolutely no blade play whatsoever. I love the black TiNi coating as it protects the blade and just looks cool. Yes, over time any blade coating will probably get scratched and work off in spots but so far mine still looks brand new with daily carry and a reasonably good amount of use. I really like how the blade is about 80% serrated. This leaves just enough plain edge for when I need a plain edge but most of it is serrated which I prefer for my uses. Most "combo" edges are at best 50% serrated and often even less than that so this is a big plus with the Spyderco Native and how they did it for my purposes. I really like the FRN handle which is molded as one piece. It is grippy with the way Spyderco put their design on it. Not going to be as grippy as say G-10 but I have found I don't much like G-10 how it is typically done anyway with ugly flat slabs over heavy steel liners. When FRN is done like on this Native I find the added grippiness of G-10 negligible. The clip is excellent and keeps the knife in place wherever I put it but is not so strong as to make it really difficult to remove. Basically the clip is perfect in the tension and function. The blade is securely closed when I want it closed and is fast and easy and SMOOTH to deploy when I want to use the knife with a very satisfying "click" when the knife locks up solidly. All in all I am very impressed and this is now my favorite knife. I also love the blade shape and the S30V steel which came razor sharp and has remained extremely sharp so far without any touchups as yet. This knife is light, fits the hand like a glove, well engineered, high quality materials, excellent fit and finish, made in the USA, lifetime warranted, and just works well and even looks cool. Enjoyment and pride of ownership is VERY high with this knife. Outstanding!

I bought this knife before I deployed to Iraq in 2006. I had it for a total of 15 months (unfortunately I lost it when we were coming home). Being in the Army, I've had multiple knives including spring assisted and fully automatic (Benchmade, CRKT, SOG, etc..). Let me tell you, nothing compares to this knife. It not only stays razor sharp (and is easy to re-sharpen in just a few minutes) but its durability is unmatched. As one point of view, having knives in Iraq or Afghanistan takes a real toll on knives. The heat, dust, and constant sweating makes knives easy to dull, rust and simply fall apart. I had this in the bottom pocket of my uniform for all 15 months deployed and it never had a single malfunction or even a hint of rust or degradation. I had other knives and buddies with knives that would corrode like you've never seen under those conditions, but this knife stayed as good as new for the entire ride and I used it for everything. If you can buy one knife that you really want to last, this is the one. Like others have said, the combo of straight and serration makes it versatile and the weight and grip is excellent.

This is the sharpest knife I have ever pulled out of a box! It is extremely durable, well balanced and the S30V holds an edge better than anything made today. This is a great little knife that I highly recommend.************I wanted to give an update. I have been carrying this knife and using it daily for a few months now, and its durable. I cut up a bunch of old horse leads and halters with it, pretty tough stuff. Ran the wet stone over it a few times and its back razor sharp.
