Introducing the Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight Black, a modern iteration of the iconic Spyderco Native, meticulously designed to meet the evolving needs of knife enthusiasts. Born from the legacy of the original Native released in 1997, this knife represents the culmination of decades of innovation and refinement.
 
Spyderco recognized the demand for an extended version of the Native, catering to users seeking more blade length and enhanced ergonomics. Thus, the Native Chief was conceived in 1999, inspired by feedback from the knife community. However, it wasn't until the development of the Native 5 that the Native Chief project gained momentum.
 
The Native 5, with its advanced lockback mechanism and relentless pursuit of quality improvement, laid the groundwork for the realization of the Native Chief. With its slim, pocket-friendly profile and extended overall length, the Native Chief Lightweight Black offers enhanced versatility without sacrificing portability.
 
Crafted from fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), the handle of the Native Chief Lightweight Black combines lightweight construction with high-traction Bi-Directional Texturing for a secure grip. The blade, made from CTS-BD1N stainless steel, features a full-flat grind and non-reflective Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, ensuring optimal cutting performance in any situation.
