Spyderco Native Chief
The Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight with black FRN handle and partially serrated blade delivers the Native's proven design in an extended format optimized for weight reduction. This American-made knife features a 4.02-inch CTS BD1N stainless steel blade with partial serrations, precision-ground with a full-flat grind and finished with a subtle stonewash. The fiberglass-reinforced-nylon handle, featuring Bi-Directional texturing for enhanced grip security, achieves a remarkable 21% weight reduction compared to its G10 counterpart, bringing the total weight to just 3.1 ounces. At 9.05 inches overall with a practical 5.08-inch handle length, the C244PSBK combines reliable back lock security with a linerless construction, while retaining the threaded inserts that enable four-position clip mounting for true ambidextrous carry. The 0.125-inch blade thickness ensures robust cutting performance in this lightweight evolution that maintains the Native Chief's commanding presence while improving its everyday carry characteristics.
