SPYDERCO NATIVE CHIEF LIGHTWEIGHT SALT MAGNACUT – C244SYL – CPM-MAGNACUT SATIN SERRATED DROP POINT BLADE, YELLOW FRN HANDLE, LOCKBACK, MADE IN USA
Big Cut, Light Carry. Salt-Grade Steel in a Full-Sized Legacy.
Born from decades of refinement and user-driven design, the Native Chief Lightweight Salt MagnaCut delivers hard-use capability in a featherweight frame. Inspired by feedback dating back to 1999, this elongated evolution of the Native series maintains a slim silhouette while expanding reach and ergonomics—now reengineered for marine and corrosion-intensive environments.
Its blade features CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel—a state-of-the-art alloy balancing edge retention, toughness, and impressive saltwater resistance. Full-flat ground with a serrated edge and satin finish, it delivers efficient cutting with bold visual utility. The vibrant yellow FRN handle, a hallmark of the Salt Series, is injection-molded and fitted with high-traction Bi-Directional Texture to secure grip in all conditions. With linerless construction, ultra-corrosion-resistant hardware, and ambidextrous four-position carry, this Chief leads with salt-bred precision.
