NATIVE CHIEF CRUCARTA
I like large knives and the Native Chief is a large knife with a beautifully shaped blade. What makes it better is the blade steel is in Cruwear, and the handle is a beautiful and comfortable Brown Canvas Micarta. Not only a true work horse but a wonderful addition to my Native Chief collection. If you don't have one yet, what are you waiting for?

Not what I was expecting
I have the CruWear/brown micarta Shaman, and I love it. It's a masterpiece of engineering. I bought this piece to round out my collection. But the Shaman scales are sculpted and polished, very pleasant to hold in the hand. The scales on this piece are not. The scales are raw and unfinished, and feel like handling a piece of unsanded wood. I called Spyderco and they said this was intentional, to allow the purchaser to finish the knife to their liking. I waited 10 months for delivery on this and sent it right back
