This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Native 5 FRN Dark Blue CPM S110V Plain, the fifth generation of the iconic Native folder, one of the best E.D.C. with a blade made of modern CPM S110V steel. Made in Spyderco factory in USA (Golden, Colorado).
CPM S110V – a high-alloy martensitic tool steel with a hardness of 58-61 HRC, produced using the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. This process begins with a homogeneous bath of molten high-alloy steel, which is atomized through a nozzle under high-pressure nitrogen gas, forming a stream of small spherical droplets that solidify quickly into powder particles. The small particle size creates micro-ingots, drastically reducing alloy segregation in the steel and resulting in an exceptionally fine carbide microstructure when the powder is processed into finished steel. The CPM S110V alloy features a high carbon content of 2.8% and significant additions of niobium, vanadium, and chromium carbides. These properties provide exceptional edge retention and high corrosion resistance. This extraordinary steel is manufactured by Crucible® Industries.
Blade - Leaf-Shaped profile provides a long, gently curved cutting edge. Plain blade is Full Flat Grind. Enlarged 14 mm SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) for ambidextrous thumb opening. Corrugated thumb ramp jimping on the back of the blade and ForeFinger Choil between handle and cutting edge make the knife easy to use. Refined, precision machined Back-Lock mechanism guarantees the peak of precision and better smoothness of operation.
Handle - dark blue color. Non-slip Bi-Directional Texturing (Bi-Directional Texturing) and notched Spine Jimping on the back of the handle strengthen the grip even with wet hands. Made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) plastic, a fiberglass reinforced nylon. Covers are attached to a stainless steel spacer / handle lining connector (backspacer) for structural strength. Polished steel hourglass clip with 4-way clip positions (up/down, right/left). Rear lanyard hole, enlarged cord hole.
