Inspired by the Japanese concept of kaizen (\"continuous improvement\"), C.Q.I. is the relentless process of evaluating every aspect of every product and meticulously reviewing all customer feedback to find ways of making even their best knives, sharpeners, and accessories better. In some cases, the changes are subtle tweaks to internal parts, finishes, and processes that, in form, only we would notice. In performance, however, they pay off in some tangible way. Whether it's increased precision, enhanced reliability, reduced weight, or something else, every C.Q.I. process takes Spyderco one step closer to perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eOne of the latest benefactors of Spyderco's C.Q.I. process has been the venerable Native 5 model. As a fifth-generation design and a state-of-the-art expression of the lockback folding knife, the Native 5 is no stranger to improvement. However, its latest refinements take that process even further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eBased on the inspiration of the groundbreaking 40th Anniversary Native 5, which showcased a linerless fluted carbon fiber handle, most G10-handled versions of the Native 5 will now also feature linerless construction. Eliminating the liner reduces the weight of the knife from 3.7 to 3.0 ounces—nearly 20 percent—without any substantial change to the knife's thickness or structural strength. To maintain the versatility of its four-position pocket clip, the G10 scales of this version will include four sets of threaded inserts to support left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eAfter Spyderco's exhaustive in-house performance testing and tons of end-user feedback, they have also decided to change the blade steel of the Native 5 from CPM-S35VN to CPM-S30V. This rolling change will be implemented as they exhaust their current inventory of parts, so some versions of the Native 5 will complete the switch sooner than others. However, the change will ultimately affect all standard G10 and FRN-handled versions of this popular model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 12px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eIn many ways, C.Q.I. is what defines Spyderco and their products—and always has. Spyderco takes pride in their stubbornness and promises to never let \"great\" be \"good enough\" to stop evolving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clearfix\" style=\"clear: both;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifications\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px dashed #cccccc; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-bottom: 16px; position: relative; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"features\" style=\"float: left; width: 450px; padding-right: 30px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs\" style=\"float: left; width: 450px; min-height: 200px; border-left: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 0px 10px 0px 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"specificationsPDP\" style=\"font-size: 14px; margin: 4px 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 3.00\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed Length: 4.00\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 6.875\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Thickness: 0.125\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Material: CPM-S30V Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Style: Drop Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Grind: Full-Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Thickness: 0.43\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Black G10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking Mechanism: Lockback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePocket Clip: Tip-Up, Tip-Down, Left\/Right Carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.0 oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SPYDERCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39336319615160,"sku":"716104003761","price":211.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1641\/2457\/files\/spyderco-spyderco-native-5-folding-knife-3-s30v-satin-41987186000084.jpg?v=1747246882","url":"https:\/\/www.northriveroutdoors.com\/products\/spyderco-native-5-folding-knife","provider":"NORTH RIVER OUTDOORS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
