Spyderco Lil' Native G10 Slipit Folding Knife 18

I appreciate how spyderco have made this a mini version of the native, I do see why others would like a half-way stop for the knife closure however the original back lock native 5 doesn't have this so it does feel very much like the original. Scales provide great grip, blade shape is spot on and it's very ergonomic. This has replaced my urban as an edc since you can get a better choke hold on it. It would be nice to have jimping and a deep pocket clip, so I also agree with others that if Heinnie made a version with these features I'd snap one up in an instant! I'd personally also like a magnacut blade since I live by the sea but have frog lubed this one so it should last well. Tolerances are great... Bit pricey, but it's made in the US so would cost more... very happy.

This could have been the best UK legal Spyderco, but it’s not quite finished. We need a Heinnie version with jimping, a half stop & perhaps a steel change ? The ergonomics are great, as are the blades shape and thickness. But for the money a Heinnie UKPK is a better option.

I'm not a huge fan of this knife. For the high price and other raving reviews, I was expecting something special. The fit and finish isn't great. The back spring feel slightly proud against the scales and it has sharp edges. The top edge of the blade is also very sharp and uncomfortable. The pocket clip is ugly and isn't deep carry. I'd rather carry a UKPK or Urban, especially at half the price.

I've looked at these from they first landed at HH. I'm so glad I bought it and from first opening the box I knew I was going to like it. The fit and finish is top draw and fits my hand really well. I'm over the moon with it, yes it's expensive but it's worth it. As usual top service from HH which is never in doubt

Follow up to my previous review and my niggle over the 9 off extra holes drilled in the handle scales for people who want to muck about with the clip position. For £3 have bought 10 off black torx screws intended for Benchmade / Spyderco knives off Ebay. These screws are M2 x 4mm so only 1off screw was good to fit as is. The other 8 off either bottom out on the knife frame (at the clip end) or foul the blade (at the blade pivot end) so I have had to carefully grind off about 1 mm from 8 off screws with a small Dremel like tool and flat grind stone. Knife looks better now in my opinion albeit with 9 off screws it shouldn't have needed but it's better than all those stupid empty holes. Am now going to remove all my new screws and carefully Loctite the wee blighters in with some 241 so they don't work themselves loose and fall out.

This knife is brilliant size and has a smooth opening as there is no half stop, which I prefer. Even though the knife stock is quite thick, it doesn’t feel thick. There are three major downsides. The first being the clip, I would have preferred the deep carry wire clip. The second is the extra holes for mounting the clip, it ruins the look. The last and in my opinion the biggest downside is the use if Torx Plus screws, I would have preferred standard Torx screws. I would love a Hennie Haynes edition, with Torx screws and a simple wire clip, just like the Urban

It's like a beefed up Urban, but with a blade shape I personally prefer aesthetically. I do wish it had the deep carry wire pocket clip like the locking versions and didn't have all these drilled holes in the scales for swapping between left/right tip up/down carry, but I guess you can't have it all. Otherwise, this is the perfect EDC for me.

Had my eye on this for a year. Good to see it available at HH. Solid and flawless quality. Reassuringly strong snappy action. Speed of delivery from HH never ceases to surprise me.

Have waited many years for a UK legal carry Spyderco Native to join my ever growing collection. Even if it is a "Lil" version, which I prefer, (I try and keep my knives to less than 150mm if possible) so I am delighted with my new baby. Excellent build quality, razor sharp and one handed opening. It is over £110 less expensive than the most expensive knife in my UK legal carry collection but it will have to take a very special knife to come along and replace this stunner in my pocket. All the knife you will ever need. My only small niggle is the 9 off "extra" tapped holes that are in the G10 scales for those people who want to muck about changing the position of the pocket clip. I am trying to source some extra screws to fill all these empty screw holes with but it's not being an easy thing to do. Might just have to live with them. Either that or some nice custom carbon fibre scales. Or a red HH scaled variant.... hint hint guys !!. Highly recommended.
