Spyderco Native 5

I like that upgrade over the hollow grind on the original native lightweight, but this five just doesn't stick out to me very middle of the road, very...

The native 5 is an ergonomic and ambidextrous design with a compact blade for ease of carry and for all these reasons we think Sal and the Spyderco te...
