Product Description
The Lil' Native C230GPCBL takes the design of Spyderco's Native 5 and scales it down to a 2.42" pocket folder. This version pairs a CPM SPY27 blade with peel-ply-textured cobalt blue G-10.
CPM SPY27 is Spyderco's own stainless steel, made with Crucible's CPM particle metallurgy process. Spyderco says its advanced alloy formula offers a superior balance of corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention. In daily carry, that means an edge that keeps cutting through boxes, tape, and cord, handles sweat and humid weather well, and touches up without much fuss. Hardened to 61-64 HRC, the 0.125" blade has a full-flat grind and a satin finish for clean slicing.
- Blade: 2.42" CPM SPY27 leaf-shaped blade with a 2.02" PlainEdge, full-flat grind, satin finish, 61-64 HRC, 0.125" thick.
- Handle: Cobalt blue peel-ply-textured G-10 scales over nested stainless steel liners in an easy-to-clean, open-backed build; 3.47" closed, 2.5 oz.
- Deployment + Lock: Spyderco Round Hole for one-handed opening; the Compression Lock releases from the spine side, so your fingers stay clear of the closing blade.
- Carry: Reversible deep-pocket wire clip for tip-up carry on the right or left side; 5.89" overall.
Ideal for: EDC carriers who want a compact folder with a blade under 2.5 inches; Native 5 fans who want the same feel in a smaller size; and Spyderco collectors building a CPM SPY27 lineup.
Knife laws vary by location. Check your local laws before you buy or carry.
The Spyderco Lil' Native in CPM SPY27 with cobalt blue G-10 (C230GPCBL) ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana. Knifeworks is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
Spyderco Lil' Native: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Spyderco Lil' Native (C230GPCBL).
What lock does the Spyderco Lil' Native C230GPCBL use?＋
The Lil' Native uses Spyderco's Compression Lock, built into the nested stainless steel liners. When the knife is open, a leaf spring in the liner wedges between the blade tang and the stop pin. You release it from the spine side of the handle with one hand, which keeps your fingers out of the blade's path as it closes.
How does the Lil' Native compare to the Native 5?＋
Spyderco designed the Lil' Native to distill the function of the Native 5 into a smaller, more pocket-friendly package. It keeps the Compression Lock, open-backed construction, and full-flat ground blade, with a 2.42-inch blade and a 3.47-inch closed length for easier carry.
What is CPM SPY27 steel?＋
CPM SPY27 is Spyderco's own stainless steel, made with Crucible's CPM particle metallurgy process. Spyderco says its advanced alloy formula offers a superior balance of corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention, and it sharpens without much fuss. Cobalt blue handles mark it as part of Spyderco's CPM SPY27 family.
What is the Lil' Native blade good for?＋
The C230GPCBL has a 2.42-inch leaf-shaped blade with a 2.02-inch PlainEdge and a full-flat grind, so it slices cleanly for opening packages, breaking down small boxes, trimming cord, and food prep. At 2.5 ounces, it carries easily in a pocket all day.
