Gateway to LC200N steel.
The Native 5 Salt is one of Spyderco's least expensive LC200N offerings and a great way to get access to this steel's anti-corrosion and toughness properties. Not very "flicable" due to the small blade size but this is also true for Spyderco stalwarts such as the Delica 4. There are no washers, I was expecting some sort of teflon/nylon deal. The yellow FRN is a good choice and the additional strength offered by steel liners shouldn't be required for this application. I can't help but wonder about the rest of the knife's hardware, hopefully Spyderco is using some cost-effective anti-corrosive steel. A more open design would facilitate easier post-use cleaning. Now that I have the Native 5 in LC200N, I'm eyeing up the soon to be released Siren. Also looked at the Caribbean but it didn't "move" me.
