Compact folding knife with 2.42" CPM 15V drop point blade, 5.9" overall length, brown FRN handle, back lock, and satin finish. Elite Sprint Run edition with full-flat-ground blade.
The Lil' Native Lightweight represents a masterfully scaled-down version of Spyderco's iconic Native 5 Lightweight, delivering all the same features and benefits in a format designed for everyday carry and practical fieldwork.
This Sprint Run edition features a full-flat-ground blade crafted from CPM 15V steel—an exceptional cold-work tool steel containing nearly 15 percent vanadium. This remarkable alloy composition produces an exceptionally high volume of ultra-hard vanadium carbides, giving CPM 15V the highest wear resistance of any cold-work tool steel available today.
To successfully translate CPM 15V's exceptional properties to knife blades, Spyderco employs a specialized hardening and tempering protocol developed in collaboration with custom knifemaker Shawn Houston. This meticulous process ensures optimal performance and edge retention.
This limited-edition Sprint Run combines proven Spyderco engineering with premium materials and distinctive styling—ideal for shooters, outdoorsmen, and anyone who demands reliable cutting performance in a compact, carry-friendly design.
