Spyderco Native 5 folding knife C41GP5
Spyderco
Spyderco was founded in 1978 in Golden, Colorado. Spyderco created many features that are now common in folding knives, including the pocket clip, blade serrations and Spyderco's trademark opening hole. They have been collaborating with many custom knifemakers, athletes, and self-defence instructors around the world. Spyderco has pioneered the use of 20 different blade materials, including CPM-SV60V, CPM-S90V, H-1 and others. The company invests a lot in research and development in order to keep producing the high-quality reliable cutting tools designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort.
Since Spyderco introduced the original Native folding knife in 1997, it has been one of the company’s cornerstone products. Now, the Native has evolved to its fifth-generation version and appears more refined than ever.
The Spyderco Native 5 features top-grade steel. Developed in collaboration between Crucible and knife expert Chris Reeve, this steel blend offers advantages that have earned it a reputation as one of the world’s best steels for EDC knives. The high-carbon and chromium alloy, enhanced with molybdenum and vanadium, provides the Native 5 with an excellent combination of wear resistance, edge retention, and corrosion protection. Despite its hardness (HRC 58–61), the steel remains relatively tough.
In addition to premium steel, Spyderco relies on proven mechanisms. The blade opens quickly with one hand via the Round Hole thumb opening. The Leaf-shaped blade favored by Spyderco is back again, along with full-flat grinding.
The handle is made of stainless steel, with a strong and reliable Back Lock system. G10 composite ensures the handle is impact- and weather-resistant. A four-position pocket clip provides versatile carry options.
The Native 5 folding knife weighs 103 grams. Its closed length is approximately 10 cm. An excellent choice primarily as a luxury-class EDC knife. The Native 5 has been among Spyderco’s best-selling knives for years, and for good reason. Explore the many other versions of this iconic knife.
