Constant quality improvement is one of the core elements of Spyderco's corporate philosophy. And few products reflect the never-ending pursuit of perfection as much as the Native 5 family. The compact, incredibly versatile Native model has been a symbol of the quality and affordability of Spyderco's USA-made products for decades. The current fifth generation sets a new standard of excellence in the form and function of the back lock mechanism. The original Native 5 with G-10 handle inspired lightweight variants with fiberglass-reinforced nylon handles and various blade steels.
