An "extended" version of the timeless Native, the Spyderco Native Chief stretches the overall length of the original design by about one-third while maintaining its slim, pocket-friendly profile. The all-new Native Chief Lightweight continues that evolution, replacing its G-10 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 percent compared to its G-10 counterpart. It retains the same precision-machined back lock mechanism and includes 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 from CTS® BD1N stainless steel and features a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ to complement the knife's symmetrical, completely ambidextrous design.
