Native 5
Golden, Colorado
Fifty years.
One knife.
Chapter I
An origin, refined.
In 1976, Spyderco proposed that a folding knife should open with one hand. The pocket clip, the round hole, the serrated edge — patents that became conventions.
Half a century later, the principle remains. The instrument has matured.
Chapter II
Each Native 5 50th Anniversary is finished by hand in Golden, Colorado.
The handle scales are crafted from amber-colored bone,beautifully polished, and dovetailed to seamlessly mate with the mosaic damascus bolsters.
No part of this knife is hurried.
Blade steel
CPM S90V
A particle-metallurgy steel developed for Spyderco. Holds its edge longer than S90V. Sharpens cleanly with a stone. Forgiving in the hand, unforgiving in the cut.
Blade length
2.95" 75mm
Weight
4.6oz 129g
Blade thickness
0.125" 3.2mm
Mosaic Damascus Bolsters
Meticulously forged by Ed Schempp and his son Martin, the mosaic Damascus steel bolsters are the result of a year-long process involving more than 1,200 hours of painstaking work.

Details
Decorative Filework
Full stainless steel liners are painstakingly machined on their edges to create a decorative filework pattern reminiscent of the finest custom knives.
Mosaic Damascus Bolsters
Precision-forged by Ed and Martin, the mosaic Damascus reveals a checkerboard pattern of 36 individual Spyderco “bug” logos, balancing technical precision with traditional craftsmanship.
Amber-Colored Bone
Beautifully polished, and dovetailed to seamlessly mate with the bolsters, these scales are uniquely reminiscent of classic knifemaking materials.
