Engineered for the human hand, the Native's ergonomic
design maximizes cutting ability while minimizing discomfort and
fatigue. This model is all about combining performance and comfort.
Since the portion of the knife most in contact with the user is the
handle, that became key while the model was in initial development on
the drawing table. We've created a handle pattern with two separate
finger choils. The first choil (where the blade and handle meet) allow
positioning the index finger closer to the knife's sharpened edge for
control over the cutting surface. Behind the first choil, the second
positions the hand farther back on the folder for dexterous cutting
while pushing the blade away from you. Bi-Directional Texturing molded
into the FRN handle form varying levels of steps minimizing forward or
backward sliding. Carved out of the locking lever is a David Boye Dent
insuring the lock remains safely engaged even when gripping the handle
forcefully. A section of non-sharpened serrations line the blade's spine
yield an additional slip resistant point for the thumb. The blade itself
is hollow-ground CPM-S30V steel with a weight reducing swedge ground
from the spine. A black steel tip-up clip can be placed ambidextrously
on both sides of the handle via a barrel-shaped screw that doubles as a
lanyard.
Every bit as ergonomic as our lightweight Native, the
Native SS offers several matching features but with a durable stainless
handle. No rough corners, the handle is chamfered smoothly along the
edges and has the same double choil positioning points, which lessen
fatigue and discomfort if cutting for long periods of time. Its AUS-10
blade is hollow-ground with a weight reducing false-edge swedge.
Aftermarket adornment such as engraving and inlaying can be placed on
the flat surface of the handle to personalize your Native. The clip
attaches for left/right-handers in a tip-up configuration.
