Indisputably the most distinctive production knife Spyderco has ever created, this incredible expression of the Native 5 is further highlighted by a handsome wooden display box. The box is custom-crafted from solid African Padauk, an exotic reddish-orange hardwood that naturally darkens with time to a deep brown. Proudly laser engraved with Spyderco's 50th anniversary logo, this stunning box is the perfect display for this extraordinary and highly collectible tribute to the company's history and the knifemaker's art. For every box created, a tree will also be planted to help replenish our planet's resources.

To commemorate their 50th anniversary, Spyderco has created an extraordinary expression of their iconic Native 5 folding knife that combines premium materials with impeccable craftsmanship. Its brightly polished blade is full-flat ground from CPM-S90V - a vanadium-enriched stainless steel that offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade is supported by a precision-machined back lock mechanism housed within a handle that represents a phenomenal blend of manufacturing precision and old-school artistry. Its full stainless steel liners are painstakingly machined on their edges to create a decorative filework pattern reminiscent of the finest custom knives. The handle scales are crafted from amber-colored bone, beautifully polished, and dovetailed to seamlessly mate with the knife's Damascus bolsters, which are unquestionably the knife’s most distinctive elements. The bolsters are crafted from bars meticulously forged by expert bladesmiths Ed Schempp and his son Martin. Through a painstakingly complex year-long process involving more than 1,200 hours of work, Ed and Martin transformed solid billets of 1084 and 15N20 tool steel into mosaic Damascus bars. The cross section of each bar showcases a breathtakingly detailed checkerboard pattern of 36 squares, each containing Spyderco's signature "bug" logo. This remarkable material is then precision-machined and dovetailed to achieve an exacting fit on the knife’s handle and acid-etched to maximize the contrast of its intricate pattern. To proudly fulfill the knife’s identity as a Spyderco CLIPIT design, the handle is accented by a polished hourglass pocket clip configured for right-side tip-up carry. This stunning commemorative knife is further highlighted by a handsome wooden display box custom-crafted from solid African Padauk hardwood. Proudly laser-engraved with Spyderco's 50th anniversary logo, it is the perfect complement to one of the most extraordinary and highly collectible knives ever created.
