Lightweight folder with 4.02" CPM-S110V drop point blade, back lock, and blue FRN handle. Exceptional edge retention in a compact 9.05" package.
The Native Chief Lightweight delivers full-sized cutting capability in a remarkably compact and lightweight package. This is a knife designed for those who understand that carrying a blade shouldn't mean carrying unnecessary weight.
The 4.02" blade is crafted from Crucible CPM-S110V stainless steel—an alloy-rich composition that sets the standard for edge retention and corrosion resistance. The high volume of vanadium and niobium carbides means this blade holds its edge longer than conventional stainless steels, reducing the frequency of maintenance while delivering superior cutting performance in the field.
The full-flat-ground, satin-finished blade geometry is optimized for slicing and general cutting tasks. This is a working blade, not a showpiece.
The linerless fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle is injection molded in Spyderco's distinctive blue and features a Bi-Directional Texture pattern that provides a secure, non-slip grip in wet or dry conditions. The back lock mechanism is precision machined for reliability and smooth operation.
The four-position pocket clip is fully configurable, allowing you to carry the knife in the manner that suits your needs and preferences.
This is a serious cutting tool for serious users.
