I love how all of you KZread knife reviewers send each other stuff to help each other make content. I think it’s really cool that most of the popular channels like to help each other out instead of “win the competition” that doesn’t really exist. I watch tons of different knife channels, so being in competition with each other is pointless anyways. I think it’s great that you all realize that and try to do what you can to help each other out

I love the Native Chief very much. Way more than I expected. I just got it for review and expected to sell it off. But it grew on me fast.

I bought Native Chief a month ago. Awesome stuff, awesome steel. Cut way better than my old Endura in VG-10. Greetings from Poland.

I just picked up the Native Chief in S90V with carbon fiber scales. I really like it so far.

I want it in LC200N, and in a brand new “Swamp” series. The Spyderco Swamp Chief 🔪

The Chief is great. I prefer longer blades. The ergos are great too. The tip is thin but not as thin as the Yojimbo which I just bent. Dropped it 2 feet into a wooden chair. It carries great for being so long

It logical to believe that Spyderco has access to a wormhole and is throwing some of the models in to see how they skew, stretch or shrink through space time, passing by a blackhole just to see what thier next model should look like when it comes out on the otherside. I mean, they even state what planet these knives are made on, just in case.

I like the looks of the Chief , and want one , even though i have no practical use for it lol .

Great review. I love that you cut a variety of materials to test out the blade.

My favorite channel.. Keep it up Pete and thank you for everything you learned me for 2 years that I watch you

I typically go for a smaller knife, but I really like the Native Chief a whole lot. It carries much smaller that one would think.

My EDC has evolved towards partially serrated knives with great steel. I discovered that cutting small branches and vines, which sometimes are in my way or need trimming, with anything other than a serrated knife is a royal pain. My partially serrated Cold Steel Recon I with CTS XHP is the champ. Runner up is an Endura 4 with a little bit wimpy VG-10. I recently needed to cut a large TV box; the Recon rocketed through it in about 60 seconds. And it cuts those small branches effortlessly. The two knives in this vid are good looking, even tempting. But if they are missing serrations, they are just going to be one more for the stay at home pile.

@@CedricAda i believe spyderco is one of only a handful of brands that will reaharpen a serrated edge which makes it's worth it for some, and it's great how aggressive that edge can be on a flat ground blade.

Great use of materials by picking the plastic tubing to cut thru

I got the Native Chief because I saw a good deal and never had a larger Spyderco before. I really like it a lot more than I thought I would! Put a deep carry clip on it and its stayed in my pocket for a good two weeks straight now. In addition to my normal cutting tasks I've been massacreing vegetables every few days, and it's been a pleasure to slice with. Not really looking forward to trying to sharpen this thing with my lansky, but I've been just giving it a quick strop every couple of days and its held up really well so far. I was super worried about the tip after having a couple PM2 tips snap but it's still doing great. Good review and comparison!

Nice to see Spyderco finally making knives for men again!

I can’t wait for the sprint runs of the native chief! Thanks for sharing Pete

The Military hits the sweet spot for me. My original is in ATS-34 and has quite a few subtle differences from later, improved versions. Then I bought two in S40V - fully serrated and plain edge. #4 is a black S30V blade with digital camo for mall ninja mode. My last one is in S110V with a deep blue G-10. ... I flirt with lots of newer cutlery with different steels, locks, and covers for EDC, but always keep coming back to a Military. ... EDIT ... I bought a couple kydex sheaths for my early Militaries from Michael Sastre @ River City Sheaths. They're top quality. However, more recent versions of the Military have nested SS liners, making the knives a bit thicker. I made the mistake of jamming my S30V digi camo Millie into the River City pancake kydex sheath for the closed knife. It took two men and a boy to get it back out of the kydex. They are that much thicker than the early Military versions. ... The other River City kydex is for a locked open Military for reverse grip deployment in James Keating's Draw Point self defense system. My fully serrated S40V Millie eats that kydex up.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to call it the "chef" lol!! So glad your putting out more lately Pete!! Videos that is of course lol! Great review, I have the chief, and it actually replaced my military!! Yeah, even I couldn't believe it, but it did. Thanx Peter

This is really beautiful knife

One of my employees got the Native Chief recently and says it's now his favorite EDC. It doesn't fit well in my hand, but I do like the overall look of it.

Great review, as usually. I realy like the native chief but I must to admit that I'm afraid for the fragility of the blade tip. Do you think that the Rex 45 version will make a real difference for the strength of the tip and in general? Here, I am talking about more or less important abuses.

Great review. You are one of the best in the business

Just got my Lil Native in today. I need to get a Native Chief just so I can take a side-by-side photo of the two.

So, who's going for the burnt orange chief? Not really the steel that people in this comment section were hoping for - but what do you think?

I love my Chief it’s a great blade

More reviews like this my NZ brother. Hope the prices drop in kiwi land. And love my K390

Love the walk!!! I really want spydie maxamet and k390 but in my country they are superpricy.. so went with manly(er) option.. wasp s90v and fixed blade patriot cpm154.. hope you do a video on manly steels.. wonder how they would fare in d dd d knife lab with Pete and his friends!

Ive got both before watching this. S30V rainy weather knife, K390 good weather knife. Win combo imho.

Compare the amalgam to those 2. I love the amalgam

Nice review. I would buy one to try with with K390 or 4V. Until then I can wait.

hmmm a delicate tip you say.

Nice review mate.

Looks Great!

Given that Spyderco has 4 way pocket clip setups on the G10 and FRN linerless Native knives, it should be easy to do so on the Military without changing the overall design.

its funny i was just flipping my tatanka while watching this video right as you mentioned it

I like my Native Cheif though it’s a little bigger than I’d normally carry...but every now and then (like last Saturday) I still call it a Native Chef 😂😂😂

Pete, so you like the Police 4 over the Chief, but what happens when you add the Endura 4 in ZDP (another old favorite of yours) to the mix, which do you like better?

@AlohaBlade

3 жыл бұрын

Why not all 3?

The Police 4 is exactly the right comparison. I'm leaning towards the P4 just because of the steel. If the Native Chief came out soon with a more interesting steel, I would be tempted. I think the liner-less design is actually a good one. The Golden factory does a slightly better back-lock as well. My liner-less Native 5 has the tightest back-lock of any knife I've ever handled. All other back locks have a tiny amount of vertical play IME.

Excellent review - thank you.

jumping?

Vs the Millie?

Beautiful knives but the prices are insane for plastic handles. $400 for the Police and $260 for the Native Chef. How is an ounce of K390 worth $140 more than an ounce of S30V?? It isn't! Both steels are dirt cheap! I can buy a 12 x 1.5 inch carbide parting blade for $30 retail.

I don't see any advantage of the Native Chief over the Endura with decent steel (e.g. ZDP189, V-Toku2, HAP40 etc...).
