Signature Steel. Patriotic Pedigree. The Chief Goes SPY27.

The Native Chief steps boldly into the SPY27 era with this cobalt-blue rendition powered by Spyderco’s proprietary blade steel. Co-developed with Crucible Industries, CPM-SPY27 builds on VG-10’s proven chemistry and amplifies it with the precision of Crucible Particle Metallurgy. The result is a steel that delivers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and the famously “sticky sharp” cutting edge favored by professionals and everyday users alike.

Set into a full-size Native Chief frame, this model pairs that elite performance with ergonomic cobalt-blue G10 scales—a visual signature that denotes SPY27 steel across Spyderco’s lineup. A full-flat grind satin-finished blade meets a reliable lockback mechanism, delivering ambidextrous strength and slicing precision in a slim and pocketable form.
