Hey everyone, Wanted to address some comments and concerns some of you have regarding the drop. In the previous run of this drop, Spyderco made us aware they updated the steel of the base model, after the drop ended, and orders were captured. For those lucky members who received upgrades, your order was not affected, and for the 50% of those affected, we gave a $25 credit, and sent a statement from Spyderco explaining this mix-up. Affected members were also given the option to return the base model for a full refund. If you were in the previous drop, were affected, and did not receive your $25 credit, please reach out to our Community Support team at CS@massdrop.com, and we’ll make sure we correct that. We can assure you that this drop won’t have the same issue. We’ve worked closely with Spyderco to ensure everything is in order and we’re excited to be running the Native 5 Blue Box again! We appreciate all of your feedback. We’re always listening, and of course, always want to do right by the community. Thanks!

kyleemjThanks for commenting! If one does win the S30 "upgrade", would one have the option to decline that upgrade and go with the 'base" S110 model? I think many buyers see the S30 / G10 as being a questionable upgrade.

Rosebud41You're welcome, @Rosebud41! If you win an upgrade, you do not have the option to change to the base model. I can look into offering the base model as a solo drop in the future, but blue boxes are completely random.

kyleemjThanks for the info. I may be speaking from a minority consensus here (knife folk, chime in!), but I think in general knife fans care about blade steel first and handle material second in structuring these blue boxes. I like the random tier concept, but personally feel FRN w S110 is a better knife than G10 w S30. Drop would make more sense with the G10 / S30 as base model. (And Spyderco lineup would make more sense if they put G10 w S110 and FRN w S30!).

Rosebud41Appreciate the feedback. Will definitely discuss this with Spyderco when creating the next blue box.

Rosebud41They make both steels with both handle scales. The S110 with G10 is also one of the possible upgrades (3% chance).

kyleemjSo, s30v isn't included in the "upgrades" anymore? Frankly, I'd be upset if I ordered s110v and got s30v

Chuck_TooMuchFaceIt is for this drop, might be fixed in future drops. Also, if you "win" the S30 "upgrade", you can't decline it. TLDR: Want S110 or better, wait for the next drop!
