New (to me) EDC Knife

[BBD280]

I've carried a Spyderco Delica in VG10 for several yrs but have always liked the looks of the Spyderco Native. Picked a Native 5 Lightweight in S35VN used the other day and the Delica has been staying at home. What can I expect from this steel? It touched up nicely on my ceramic sticks but haven't really put any hard work on the blade yet to see how it holds up and resharpens.

I own zt's in both s30 and s35, I cant tell enough difference to mention, the elmax to me is better than either

Good choice in knives the native is a great EDC knife. It fits my hands slighty better than the Delica. S35VN is a better steel than the VG10 steel of the Delica. It will take a finer edge and hold it longer.

That’s a nice knife. Looks a lot like my manix2.
