Yeah, Bill (Bad Billy El Lobojohnnierotten wrote:Like them Spyder's,Bro!!
) recomended a Spyderco Native when I was looking for an inexpensive knife using Crucible's CPM S30V steel. I bought one for my son and one for me, it's his favorite EDC and one of mine as well. $34.95 at Walmart each - Hard to beat that price for a high grade stainless steel. Thanks Bill, from both of us, excellent recommendation!

In order of picture blade material is ATS34, 440C, and SS. I'm a big ATS34 fan I have alot of Japanese knives all of which are ATS34. I also picked up 2 CASE T Bose's for this very reason. ATS34 is in my opinion is not an every day knife material but a camping, hunting and survival tool it can really tackle those hard jobs without the need to re sharpen. Fit and finish seems to be better on ATS34 made knives also, then again they tend to be your high end knives anyway.

My pleasure Hukk. 
It's fun to help folks, makes me feel useful, and it usually isn't too hard. That's why I like this place.
Just for drill, the Native...then a Japanese IXL from Parker...

Chris,
It is a fairly smooth, tight-grained black wood. Ebony maybe? Or quite possibly an Ebonized wood of some type.
It is a fairly small lockback...coming in at about 3 5/8"...and maybe a Welterweight.

Let's go with Ebonized wood that is nice, and not so often seen.
