Spyderco Native 5 Dark Blue FRN Knife, Satin CPM S110V by Sal Glesser (C41DBL5)

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.
