Spyderco Native 5 going back for warranty

[Little Dutch]

I?ve got a few Spyderco knives, my favorite model is the Native 5. I?ve got two of them currently, and started carrying the second one a few weeks ago.

I noticed today the base of the handle separating. It?ll open up pretty wide. I?m assuming the bottom screw stripped during assembly. The knife has seen a few packages, but hasn?t been used much. It?s packed up and ready to send in for warranty repair, but I?m a little irritated about it. It?ll work out, but dang it.

Too bad you are not closer to Golden.
You can walk in with the knife and they probably would swap it for a new one, if they have one.
Their customer service is very impressive.

I lost mine today.

It's the second one I have owned.

I have carried a lot of knives in my life and love the Native.

As a lefty, the world is against me so it is nice to find a product that works.

However, the pocket clip can get caught on a coat's drawstrings and flip it out of my pocket. I have caught it a couple of time but this is the second one that was in my pocket and then it wasn't.
