SPYDERCO NATIVE CHIEF LIGHTWEIGHT BLACK – C244PBBK – CTS-BD1N BLACK DLC DROP POINT BLADE, BLACK FRN HANDLE, LOCKBACK, MADE IN USA
Lengthened Profile. Lightweight Frame. Tactical Bite with Serrated Authority.
This serrated edition of the Native Chief Lightweight brings full-size cutting power into a featherweight form. Building on the extended proportions of Spyderco’s classic Native design, the Lightweight version ditches G10 for high-strength FRN—reducing weight by 21% and enhancing traction through Bi-Directional Texturing.
The blade is crafted from CTS-BD1N stainless steel and cloaked in a black DLC finish for stealth and corrosion resistance. Its serrated edge excels at tackling fibrous and challenging materials, while the linerless lockback design ensures strength without added heft. With full ambidextrous clip configuration and mission-grade carry comfort, this knife delivers maximum performance without the bulk.
