Nkd 50th anniversary N5.
I was a bit hesitant on picking up the 50th, and even said that i wouldn't, but the N5 is my favorite model and this was too special to pass up on. It's pretty sick, the packaging was neat, the wooden box gave me pause, and reading all the notes and stuff was nice. The knife itself is something special, it at it's core is just a native 5, but the bone and shiny blade gives it a classic look, the Damascus bolster is very cool, and the “toothed” liners and spine are a nice touch. I took the knife apart and the construction seems to be more delicate than the standard n5, and given the bolster isn’t stainless, this knife will be mostly a collection piece. I did try to swap blades with the 40th anniversary knife, but i couldn’t get the damasteel blade to sit right with the 50th’s handle.. oh well.
