Spyderco REC EXCLUSIVE Native 5 OD Green G10, FDE 204P - C41GPODFDE5

Late to the game with these REC exclusives, managed to snag the para3 lw avocado exclusive, now the native 5. Already own a lw native 5 in spy27 so wanted to try the g10 so what better than an exclusive. Great feel with the g10, this one just needed about 500 more times opening and closing to wear down the blade coating before I can spydie flick it. Other than that it has probably the best ergos and blade shape. Don't mind the back lock, but a compression lock would be a nice option.

Rec is a great company to deal with. Product came packaged great and safe,very good quality and came super sharp out of box. Will use REC again and recommend them to anyone looking for a great selection and solid customer service. ??

Love this one ! Great size and molds to my hand

This was my first Rec Wxclusive purchase. I like the Native 5 and when I saw it in this color combo with the steel choice - I couldn’t pass it up. It’s perfect edc size and at less than 3in blade I can legally take it anywhere I need to. Looking forward to more Rec exclusives. Another Para 3 would be nice since I missed it the first two drops…..

Native 5 is a great EDC knife from the get-go. Giving it the REC touch made it outstanding - G10 scales with great avocado colorway!

Great size for edc. Wonderful job by REC on this drop!

First, REC is simply an amazing company to deal with. Super responsive, extremely fast shipping and, a great overall selection. Next, I purchased the REC exsclusive Spyderco Native 5 not knowing what to expect. I'm not normally a big fan of lockback knives and the Native is slightly smaller than I normally carry. But, I love REC and the colorway on the Native 5 sold me. Out of the box the knife was extremely stiff requiring two hands to open it and, I experienced lock stick several times. I broke the knife down, cleaned it really well, polished the washer, put a little graphite on the lock face of the blade and the lock itself and put it back together. I had to play with the knife for about four days to get it broke in really well but now, its super smooth. This isn't a knock on the knife, REC or, Spyderco. I knew the knife would be stiff and may have some lock stick due to the blade coating. I was expecting this. That being said, now that the knife is broke in really well, it is simply amazing. Even though it's smaller in size, the ergonomics are excellent. I can get my whole hand on the knife very comfortably and use the knife for extended periods of time without any hotspots or fatigue. Great deployment and Lockup now that it has broken in and, the lockback isn't hard to use at all. Overall, this piece is definitely a keeper. Oh and did I already say I love the colorway? Simply a great piece overall. Great job!

The Native 5 is my favorite Spyderco! This was my first Avocado and it is amazing! Spyderco does an excellent job with the 204 p and the FDE coating is awesome!

This knife fall into the sweet spot of EDC. It looks amazing, just look at the color combination of the blade and handle. The blade is razor sharp and the lock back is like a vault. the blade is not going to move. One other feature is the size. It won't take up a lot of room in your pocket, you will hardly know that it's there.
