The Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight is a modern evolution of the iconic Native, designed for those who seek more blade length and improved ergonomics without sacrificing portability. First introduced as a prototype in 1999, the Native Chief was crafted to accommodate larger hands and offer enhanced cutting power while maintaining the slim, pocket-friendly profile Spyderco is known for. Now, the Native Chief Lightweight brings that vision to life in a more lightweight and versatile form.
 
This version replaces the original G10 handle with a fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle, reducing the weight by 21%. The FRN construction features high-traction Bi-Directional Texturing for a secure grip, and its linerless build ensures a lightweight, durable design. The blade, made from CTS-BD1N stainless steel, is full-flat ground, offering precision cutting performance with a satin finish and a plain edge. The Native Chief Lightweight maintains the precision-machined lockback mechanism of its predecessor, offering solid, reliable performance in a slim, ergonomic design.
With its four-position pocket clip, the Native Chief Lightweight is fully ambidextrous and customizable for left or right-handed users. The blade’s 4.02" length and the easy-to-use Trademark Round Hole make it ideal for a wide range of tasks. Whether you're an experienced knife enthusiast or just discovering Spyderco’s offerings, the Native Chief Lightweight provides the perfect balance of performance, comfort, and portability.
