When Spyderco paired brown canvas Micarta handle scales with a CPM CRU-WEAR tool steel blade, it resulted in an "instant classic." Due to popular demand, this timeless combination is now featured on some of our most sought-after models, including the iconic Native 5. This version boasts a full-flat-ground CPM CRU-WEAR blade with a satin finish for smooth, low-friction cutting performance. The robust back lock mechanism and stainless steel backspacer are sandwiched between the Micarta scales, which naturally develop a patina over time. Staying true to the Native 5’s symmetrical design, it includes a polished four-position hourglass clip for versatile left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry. Part of the “Cru-Carta” family, this knife is a perfect choice for both collectors and dedicated users.
