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 G-10 scales with a lightweight, fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle. The injection-molded handle includes a high-traction Bi-Directional Texture pattern and its linerless construction trims the knife's weight by 21 percent compared to its G-10 counterpart. It retains the same precision-machined back lock mechanism and includes inserts to allow mounting of the knife's four-position pocket hook to support left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry. The blade of the Native Chief Lightweight is full-flat-ground from CTS BD1N stainless steel and features a fully accessible Trademark Circular Hole to complement the knife's symmetrical, completely ambidextrous design. This ultra-lightweight cutting tool is available with a tumbled blade finish and brightly finished hardware or in an all-black configuration featuring a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) blade coating and matching black-coated lock bar, and hardware. Both finish options also offer a choice of either a PlainEdge, CombinationEdge, or fully serrated SpyderEdge blade.
