How to disassemble and maintain the Spyderco Lil' Native Pocketknife

[@Ekybob_Plays]

"this is knife" - This sort of rampant intellectualism is why I am happy to be a subscriber.

[@brucemcintyre2383]

I look forward to your thoughts about the choil spur on the ricasso impinging into the comp lock cutout. I was surprised that design flaw was not addressed before the knife went to market. It doesn't bother me too much because I am in the habit of tapping the blade spine on closing to assure myself that the detent has caught. Thanks for the good disassembly video.

Today my WE knife 620 arrived and I am freaking happy! Why am I telling you that? None of my friends is a knife guy and so no one is happy with me :(

[@poisonousnut]

cidi349 congrats on your new bundle of joy!

[@Bearded_Tattooed_Guy]

37K subscribers are happy for you! That WE is some knife... ;-)

[@Keith_the_knife_freak]

[@Oates18]

keifer225948 I just got mine yesterday and I love it. You’ll be a happy camper for sure. Cheers

[@Keith_the_knife_freak]

E O just tracked it.. its out for delivery!! 👍👍👍

[@jimmycricket7946]

Been thinking about getting a smaller sized spyderco. Now I know you're a chaparral fan..... as am I lol, but leaving the chaparral aside which would you choose from this list of options the little native, the urban, the dragonfly or finally the ukpk? Which would you choose to spend more time with for say general light tasking???

[@AriMWeinstein]

Awesome, that was quick and easy.

[@sanghyunkim9864]

Yess, a disassembly vid means a full Nick review vid is close behind. Can't wait.

[@mikebonez2one6]

Nick, my lil native has a black DLC coating. I'm having problems with the blade being really stiff to open/close. Does this have anything to do w/ the coating? The stainless steel version seems to drop fall shut and I'm looking for that. Thanks for any help.

[@gammarayburst4763]

Hey nick. I couldn’t get mine out. The washer and pivot. It’s stuck there. Also if you tighten all the screws tight does it stop the action or is mine bad.

[@MISTAREDboys]

NICK!!! U need to check out the new 2018 ZT knives! There’s three of them and they’re gorgeous, especially the 0393 and the 0609 and I guarantee you’ll like them!!!! And also the 0393 has the hinderer customizability with the scales.

[@jaigamin6693]

I'm expecting more pen and flashlight videos ,Nick -Jai

[@shaggy_e210]

Mine came with all the loctite I could barely take the clip screw out... perfect knife for the 5th pocket of jeans without the clip

[@wpieter2459]

Hey nick, could you review and disassemble a WE knives 703?

[@Bearded_Tattooed_Guy]

No time to watch, but I can always listen in to Nick's smalltalk..

[@marrenmiller]

I'm not sure that washer logic checks out. The angular displacement between the blade and the liners during opening is always the same, and the normal force on each side of each washer is the same regardless of whether or not the washer turns or not. The amount of (displacement) x (force on the washer surfaces from the blade or liners) should be the same regardless of whether the washer spins or stays stationary, and that is what should determine the wear rate of the washer.

[@bladecentered2264]

you can't remove the screw on the other side, I tried. I send the knife back, did not like it at all.

[@OGtalks]

Anyone know if removing the pocket clip affects the handle ? Can you take the clip off ??

[@erikcrouch7881]

You can! Not only that, but LynchNW makes a fantastic replacement clip for it that is WAY better than the stock wire clip. I usually like Spyderco clips but this one REALLY missed the mark..

[@OGtalks]

@@erikcrouch7881 thanks mate . Ended up getting one .. love it .. 💪🏼

[@kenjimiwa3739]

What are you using to clean with the q tips? And the stuff you apply to the screws?

[@g1b1000]

Kenji Miwa isopropyl alcohol to clean, blue lock Tite for torx screws

[@kenjimiwa3739]

What do people think about just using mineral oil for the pivot?

[@NickShabazz]

It'll run a bit slower, but it will work.

[@poisonousnut]

still trying to make a decision on this or the Manix...

[@rodrigoteresa7944]

poisonousnut I don't have this but the Manix is my favourite. So much so that I got the M4 version.

[@jskrawz4611]

I think I would still go with the Native 5 lightweight... Better steel... S35VN was designed as an upgrade over the old S30V that has been around since the early 90's... IMHO the backlock... though not as "sexy" as the compression lock... is stronger coupled with the excellent FRN handle makes it a really good EDC knife...

[@cameronutt6383]

"This is knife!" Words that ring more true hath verily been spoken not.

[@liquid72hours49]

Can anybody tell me what torx bit the pivot is, thx!

[@MobiuSphere]

Well that was a fast turn around from picking up the knife to review

[@jwalz_5737]

Lil native vs para 3 plz

[@tyroneshoelaces9742]

Anybody else not impressed with what they have seen on BladeHQ youtube of knife manufacturers at shot? Nothing really caught my eye but not complaining because that will save me some money this year. Even the new ZT Hinderer. G10 overlay?? Just use CF. And Spyderco? Nothing!!

[@pitiedvod]

People who throw in a random T6 screw when every other screw is the same, larger, and looks fine for the knife proportions should result in that designer needs to get random kicks to the nuts.
