SPYDERCO C244PDBL NATIVE CHIEF DARK BLUE LIGHTWEIGHT CPM 110V NYLON HANDLE FOLDING KNIFE.
An "extended" version of the timeless Spyderco Native, the Native Chief stretches the overall length of the original design by about one-third while maintaining its slim, pocket-friendly profile. The Native Chief Lightweight continues that evolution, replacing the G10 scales with a lightweight, fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle. The injection-molded handle includes high-traction Bi-Directional Texturing and its linerless construction trims the knife's weight by 21% compared to its predecessor. It retains the same precision-machines lockback mechanism and includes four sets of threaded inserts to allow fully configurable mounting of the knife's four-position pocket clip. The blade of the Native Chief Lightweight is full-flat ground and features a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole to complement the knife's symmetrical, completely ambidextrous design.
CPM-S110V is an extremely advanced, ultra-high carbon stainless steel enriched with vanadium, niobium, molybdenum, and cobalt. Produced by Crucible's particle metallurgy process to lock the qualities of its alloy composition, it offers superior wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and edge-holding qualities compared to other commercially available steels.
Spyderco has worked hard to master the processes of working with this demanding material and is proud to offer one of the broadest selections of CPM-S110V knives in the industry. This elite expression of the Native Chief takes full advantage of the remarkable properties of this steel to provide exceptional cutting performance, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Like the other members of Spyderco's CPM S110V family, its injection-molded fiberglass reinforced nylon handle is a rich dark blue color that proudly announces its pedigree. If you're looking for the ultimate cutting performance in a large-locking folder, look no further.
