Spyderco Native Chief S90V Carbon Fiber Sprint Run: Full Review

[@sonofliberty78]

Wish I’d been able to snag this S90V Chief. I consoled myself by getting two M390 Chiefs, (paid $270 total; for both). Spyderco’s M390 is excellent, (62-63 HRC).

It's worth the price when you consider the size of the Solid carbon scales and large piece of S90V, Especially when you compare to the new Carbon/S90V Bugout. I plan on buying the Cutlery Shoppe Native chief and swap the DLC XHP blade with this Carbon Sprint.

HERE HERE, ON TIP DOWN

Long comment warning (just re-watched your video) ... I got the Chief in Rex 45 a few weeks back - for a purpose of being my 'workshop knife'. Let me start with saying that I can only confirm many of the points you have made. That means using it in a controlled environment where I need that flat-ish blade profile and acute tip. The knife is very solid with excellent F&F and after adding a drop of KPL on the pivot and tang the knife is crazy smooth. But I really wish the handle had a little more width/height and that it would keep the width of the hump towards the end. I personally would prefer a 1/2" shorter blade (and I am still considering to 'chop it') as even if I choke up as far as possible and put my index finger on the spine - I am still more than 1" from the tip. I may try to make a new handle, but don't have a way to easily to make precision drilling, so the result would most likely be wonky (one needs to nail the relative position of the pivot and backlock bar pin positions). I would love to see Spyderco making a version between Native 5 and Chief with a handle more like on the Shaman. That would be the ultimate workshop knife for me. For now I am going to keep it, as I am not aware of any other knife from Spyderco in a tool steel that would give me the utility I am looking for.

The price would make a whole lot more sense if the scales were 3D contoured and not just two rectangular bars.

Yes that would make this knife awesome. Thanks for watching

That’s a sexy looking Spyderco! Really dig that blade

[@itsaknifestyle8482]

Me too, usually I find spydercos to be on the ugly side but this one looks great. Thanks for watching

[@elusivellama]

Do you find the carbon fiber to be easier to slide in and out of the pocket vs the standard G10 that Spyderco uses?

[@edrader]

i really can't tell any difference

[@bobgox]

really love this model, would one day like to get, although it is a it pricey ..thanks for the great vid :) p.s. > the lines kinda remind me a bit of the Siren model, which i also really like !

[@itsaknifestyle8482]

The siren is a cool knife, I’ll probably try it out in the future. Thanks for watching

[@bobgox]

@@itsaknifestyle8482 > sure thing my friend, yes ...hope that you do a detailed review of the Siren too at some point, all the best !

i got mine in my mailbox yesterday , as a birthday gift to myself , such a beautiful knife . its my new edc fruits cutter. it slice them super easily without sprotching juice everywhere and i can even go thru big ananas without having sticky hands at the end . then yeah the weight make it barely noticeable in your pocket . and as i have that guilty pleasure to look at people faces in the street when i take one of my knife out of my pocket and open it , just to cut an apple . this one have a more badass clic sound that catch attention. love it

[@itsaknifestyle8482]

That’s awesome, I was carrying this knife a little bit recently, and I am really enjoying it. When I first bought it, I thought I might just sell it after I did my review, but I think it is gonna be sticking around. Thanks for watching
