FYI Adept Knives has a whole bunch of different versions of the Native 5 back in stock, new versions and older ones

By the way the fuller flick works nicely as well. I can get a nice flick off if it with the thumb, index finger and reverse flick

Good action right out of the box, blade is centered(that was something I had on my mind considering lots of para 3 LW’s have centering problems), no lockstick and of course feather light

The bird looks like it’s almost able to fly so I wanna do what I can for it. I guess it fell out of the nest earlier today and a guy at a neighboring business moved them closer to the woods. I went and got both of them cuz I assumed they didn’t have any chance on the ground like that. I put water in the box and I guess a coworker put some bread in there. At the end of my shift I planned to take the birds(one died before my shift ended) to the vet but they said they won’t take wildlife and will only euthanize. Earlier the bird was making noise but now he’s quietly in the corner like he’s trying to keep warm or sleep. Tried giving him a little piece of meat but he wouldn’t take it. Since I was at work I didn’t have an opportunity to try digging up any worms but I’m not sure the bird would take it from me anyway.

Any advice?

The majority of my knife purchases over the last 2 years have been in the $200-$350 range and I just don’t get excited for many budget knives these days. This one was one of the exceptions and I’ve been carrying it quite a bit over the last month or so. Reminds me a lot of the Civivi Elementum. Really the only major difference being it’s a thumb stud deployment instead of a flipper. I prefer thumb stud over flippers anyway so that’s a win in my opinion. The liner lock is smoother to operate, scales look and feel more premium than similarly priced Elementums, clip is countersunk and also lefty friendly.

If you pick one up at Adept Knives you can use the code “Welcome” at checkout which brings this one down to $55 or $54 out the door. If you want just basic colored g10 then they get even cheaper at $44 out the door

Was in love with this one as soon as I saw the picture on the Kizer site. Not only is the knife a perfect overall shape but I think that micarta inlay over the aluminum looks great. The only change I would’ve loved is a milled titanium clip.

Picked this up from Adept Knives. If they have the knife I want that’s my first choice where I buy cuz they have that 20% discount, plus no tax and free shipping. The code is “Welcome” by the way.
