SPYDERCO NATIVE CHIEF – C244PBK CTS-BD1N BLADE, FRN HANDLE, FULLY AMBIDEXTROUS DESIGN - MADE IN USA
Extended. Lightweight. Precision-Built.
The Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight is a refined evolution of the classic Native design—stretching the blade length while trimming the weight. With a 4.02" full-flat ground blade made from CTS-BD1N stainless steel, this folder offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and slicing performance. The Trademark Round Hole ensures easy, ambidextrous one-handed opening.
Its fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle features Bi-Directional Texturing for a secure grip and a linerless construction that reduces weight by 21% compared to the original G10 version. A precision-machined lockback mechanism provides reliable lockup, and four-position clip mounting allows full customization for tip-up or tip-down, left or right carry. Made in the USA, the Native Chief Lightweight is a high-performance folder built for versatility and comfort.
