The reviewer praises the VG10 full flat ground blade, its cutting capabilities, and the overall fit and finish. Specifics like the drop point leaf blade, skeletonized hilt, and Micarta handle are discussed, along with its weight and balance. The reviewer notes limitations for heavy-duty chopping and discusses the slickness of the Micarta in dry conditions. The "Boltaron" sheath is deemed excellent, though a Tec-Lok attachment is preferred over the included G-clip.

The review concludes with a "Nutnfancy Likability Scale" score of 7 out of 10, considering the cost.

This video reviews the Spyderco Native 4 Carbon Fiber (CF) model, highlighting its aesthetic appeal and flat, comfortable carry profile due to thin CF scales. The reviewer notes excellent Spyderco craftsmanship, superb blade deployment, lockup, and a functional 2.9-inch full flat ground VG10 blade, ideal for EDC. However, criticisms include disappointing slickness of the carbon fiber scales with zero traction, absence of jimping on the upper spine, and an unimpressive carry weight of 3.4 ounces attributed to the skeletonized stainless steel frame. The reviewer suggests titanium would have been a better frame material for the price point. While functional, the knife is deemed low value at around $140, making it more of a collectible for diehard Spyderco fans than a practical user knife, especially with better sub-$50 options available. The Nutnfancy Likeability Scale is 6.5/10, primarily due to its high cost.
