The Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight is an exceptional folding knife designed for demanding cutting tasks. Featuring a full-flat-ground blade crafted from CPM 15V steel, this knife offers outstanding edge retention and cutting performance. The alloy's high volume of ultra-hard vanadium carbides, combined with a specially developed heat-treatment by custom knifemaker Shawn Houston, results in a blade that maintains its sharpness longer and slices efficiently through various materials. Its extended size provides increased leverage and cutting power, making it ideal for outdoor, tactical, or everyday use. The blade proudly displays Shawn Houston's "Triple B" laser-engraved logo on the reverse side, emphasizing its premium craftsmanship. The knife's handle is constructed from brown injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), offering a lightweight yet durable grip. The high-strength back lock mechanism ensures secure blade deployment and retraction, while the fully configurable four-position pocket clip allows for versatile carry options. Packaged in a protective box, the Native Chief Lightweight balances performance, portability, and reliability for discerning users seeking a high-performance folding knife.
