Spyderco Native Chief
The Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight with black FRN handle and SpyderEdge 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 aggressive 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 C244SBK 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.
