SPYDERCO C244SBBK NATIVE CHIEF BLACK LIGHTWEIGHT CTS-BD1N STEEL SERRATED EDGE 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 from CTS-BD1N stainless steel and features a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole to complement the knife's symmetrical, completely ambidextrous design.
The Native Chief Lightweight's remarkable balance of light weight and full-service cutting performance make it ideal for tactical applications. To make it even better suited to that role, this expression of it adds a non-reflective Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating to the CTS-BD1N stainless steel blade and matching black coatings to the lock bar, clip, and other handle hardware. It is an exceptional synthesis of low profile and high performance.
