Spyderco Knife
C244PGR Native Chief Salt Lightweight
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 and features a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole to complement the knife's symmetrical, completely ambidextrous design.
This Native Chief Lightweight Salt proudly combines the best qualities of the lightweight Native Chief platform with the unparalleled edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance of LC200N steel. Full-flat ground for optimal edge geometry and available in both PlainEdge and SpyderEdge configurations, its blade is supported by a precision-machined back lock mechanism and a linerless handle injection molded from vibrant green fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN). The handle includes threaded inserts that allow the four-position pocket clip to be mounted on both sides and both ends of the handle to support all possible carry preferences. And, like all the Salt Series folders, the handle hardware of this knife is crafted exclusively from ultra-corrosion-resistant materials.
