Released in 1997, the Native quickly set the standard as an affordable, ergonomic and lightweight folder and has been a constant in the Spyderco product line. Part of Spyderco's C.Q.I. (Constant Quality Improvement) program, the Native design has evolved over time yet staying true to its roots. In 2012 the Native 5 was born after extensive engineering refinements and years of manufacturing experience.

A Sprint Run is a special production run of a knife not found in their regular product line. It may be a distinctive version of a current model or a discontinued model. Every Sprint Run is a unique, one time only event. This limited-edition Sprint Run expression of the Shaman showcases a blade crafted from Crucible® Industries' state-of-the-art CPM 15V particle metallurgy tool steel. With almost 15 percent vanadium in its alloy mix, this remarkable material offers the highest wear resistance of any cold-work tool steel currently available. To maximize its potential, the full-flat-ground, stonewashed blade of this knife is further enhanced by a specialized heat-treating protocol developed by acclaimed custom knifemaker Shawn Houston.

In keeping with the signature theme of Spyderco's CPM 15V Sprint Runs, the handle of this Native features distinctive brown G-10 scales and the reverse side of the blade is proudly laser engraved with Shawn Houston's “Big Brown Bear" logo.

The 3" full-flat-ground drop point blade has a hardness of 60-61 Rc. The closed length measures 4". The lockback mechanism holds the blade securely in the open position. With the blade's Trademark Round Hole™ and the handle's versatile reversible/removeable pocket clip, makes both the carry and operation of this knife completely ambidextrous. Weighs 3.2 oz. Made in the U.S.A. Suggested Retail $300.00.

Spyderco

In 1981, Spyderco ventured into the world of knife making by introducing their first folding knife, the C01 Worker. This knife was the first in the industry to feature a round hole in the blade design that allowed for fast, one-hand opening, now the company’s trademark, and the first to feature a pocket clip. The trademarked round hole is the most recognizable feature of a Spyderco knife and it facilitates the easy opening and closing of these knives with one hand while also offering convenient access and maximum control while opening as well as accommodating large, small or gloved hands.

Spyderco’s recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomically functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. Spyderco’s knives may look unusual, but they will never be called unusable or undependable. When you purchase a Spyderco knife, you are buying a high quality reliable cutting tool that was designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort.
