The Spyderco Native 5 in brown canvas Micarta with a CPM Cru-Wear blade (brand part no. C41MPCW5) is part of Spyderco’s Cru-Carta family, pairing old-school handle material with a modern, high-wear tool steel. Made by Spyderco at its U.S. factory in Golden, Colorado, this 2.95-inch, full-flat-ground blade is satin finished for low-friction cutting and backed by the model’s dependable back lock. The Micarta scales are sanded smooth and will naturally patina with age and handling, giving this Native 5 a look that changes and improves the more it is carried.
