Gift for my daughter--it's not too big for her hand, it's tough, it's not heavy, it looks great, and who doesn't appreciate that Spyderco hole?
Spyderco Native 5 Folding Knife 3" S30V Black Combo Blade, Black FRN Handles, Lockback - C41PSBBK5
Part #: SP41PSBBK5 | Spyderco Knives
Description
SP41PSBBK5: C41PSBBK5 Native 5
Spyderco
The Native 5 Lightweight is one of Spyderco's all-time great designs, now made even better with lightweight FRN handles and premium S30V cutlery steel. Created with the Crucible Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process, this super steel offers greater performance than traditionally made steels.
The leaf shaped blade of the Native 5 features a full flat grind (preferred by many for its slicing performance) and a full length swedge to aid in cutting efficiency by reducing drag during use. It opens easily thanks to Spyderco's Trademark Round Hole, and a strong back lock keeps it secure during use.
To ensure easy carry of this superlative EDC knife, Spyderco has equipped the Native 5 with lightweight and strong FRN handles. Bi-directional texturing provides all the grip you need, even in wet or grimy environments. Thanks to jimping and an integrated finger choil that extends usable handle length, the user can choke up on the blade for fine control of the Native's acute point. A four-position stainless steel clip, allowing for a multitude of carry options completes this lightweight Spyderco Native 5.

Native 5 FRN
This is my ideal everyday carry. Love the utility, size, and look of it. Admittedly, I like the weight... rather, the balance of the standard Native over this one. Otherwise, a great knife. Will undoubtedly carry it for years.

All round EDC thats good at everything
Contrary to some other reviews I've read on the Native the size is not an issue for me. I find it an easy carry, with the profile and the weight you instantly forget it's in your pocket no matter what you're doing. It is a little small for heavy work but its a worthy trade off, the Native isn't excellent at every task, no knife is, but its a very good multi tasker. I've been carrying mine for a year as my primary EDC and using it for, yard work, cardboard cutting, rope work and recently on a job away from home for a month as a kitchen knife.Finish on the blade has lasted well. Takes an excellent edge but you need to work at it as the S35VN is hard. I prefer a steel that is easier to hone even though I don't have to dress the Native as often. The serrations stay sharp and are easy to maintain. If you want an all round knife but don't want to be reminded your carrying it all the time it is a great choice.
