Key benefits
- Premium S30V blade: Offers excellent edge retention, hardness, and durability – ideal for everyday work.
- Excellent ergonomics: The Native 5 fits the hand perfectly – the finger choil, handle shape, and G10 texturing ensure a secure grip.
- Robust back lock: One of the best-executed back locks on the market – precise, solid, and fully ambidextrous.
- Compact dimensions: An ideal size for everyday carry without appearing overly aggressive.
- Made in USA: Manufactured in Golden, Colorado – with an emphasis on quality and precision.
- 🔴 Limitations
- The back lock is slower to operate: Compared to a Compression Lock or Liner Lock, it is not as “fast” when closing.
- Higher weight for its size: G10 and full liners increase strength, but also overall weight.
- Price: This is not the cheapest option, but it matches the quality of the materials and workmanship.
- 🛠️ Maintenance and sharpening
- Maintenance: S30V requires minimal care – simply wipe it down after use and occasionally lubricate the pivot.
- Sharpening: Slightly more demanding due to the steel’s hardness – a diamond or ceramic sharpener is recommended.
- Lubrication: The back lock benefits from a drop of oil for smooth and quiet operation.
