Hi kraziekurtis and welcome on this forum!
I think the native is an excellent choice but the native1 has a better steel(CPM440V)than the native2(AUS8).What do you will do with this knife?

The civvie is a good choice but it's very expensive and specialized(too thin tip to cut other than flesh)I want to buy it also my mother will not approve that i will carry it everyday.but nevermind i will buy and carry it(and/or chinook ,matri)

P.S.Native1's handle is in ZYTEL(NYLON/GLASS FIBER)
Native2's handle is in stainless steel

Welcome to the forum kraziekurtis,

The Natives are both good knives. However the steel in the Native II is AUS10, not AUS8 , (sorry Caleb <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>) which is an excellent cutlery steel although not quite in the same class as CPM440V. The decision really comes down to whether you want a stainless or FRN handle.

Boy the crowd's getting younger all the time in here <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. It's making me feel very old <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.

Don't worry that the world might end tomorrow, in Australia it's tomorrow already.
