Native 5 FRN Black Plain, the fifth generation of the iconic multifunctional Native knife produced since 1997. Folder with a head made of CPM S30V powder steel. Produced at the Spyderco factory in the USA (Golden, Colorado).

CPM S30V - one of the best knife steel, corrosion resistant, mechanical stress resistant American CPM S30V martensitic powder steel with carbon, chromium and vanadium with a hardness of 58-59 HRC. Developed by Dick Barber of Crucible Industries in collaboration with knife maker Chris Reeve to offer the best combination of strength, abrasion and corrosion resistance. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries according to the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. The CPM process yields a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. The alloy contains 1.45% carbon (C) and a significant admixture of vanadium carbides 4.0% (V) and chromium 10.5% (Cr). Thanks to its properties, it holds sharpness for a very long time and provides high corrosion resistance.

Blade - with a Leaf-Shaped profile was made with a Full Flat Grind. Non-reflective Satin Finish (semi-matte) coating eliminates glares. The SpyderHole (Spyderco patent) round cut-out allows you to open the knife using your thumb. A high-quality lock type (Back-Lock) with an additional Boye Detent cut-out, preventing accidental release of the lock with a strong grip of the knife. A notched thumb ramp and Finger Choil (profiled undercut finger between the handle and the cutting edge) increase control over the knife.

Handle - in black color coated with non-slip textured Bi-Directional Texturing - strengthens the grip even with wet hands. Made of plastic FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), fiberglass reinforced nylon. The folder is equipped with a solid metal screw-on clip with the possibility of fixing in four planes (up / down, right / left). 4-way clip positions. In the back part of the handle there is a hole enabling the installation of a security cable.
