Product Description

The Spyderco Lil' Native® Lightweight C230PBR15V is a limited-edition Sprint Run engineered for those who demand the absolute pinnacle of edge retention. This extraordinary tool features a 2.42" blade crafted from CPM® 15V®, a particle metallurgy tool steel with a massive 15% vanadium content—the highest of any cold-work tool steel available. To unlock this steel's full potential, the blade features a specialized heat-treatment sequence developed by renowned custom knifemaker Shawn Houston (Triple B Handmade), resulting in unparalleled wear resistance and a "sticky-sharp" edge that lasts significantly longer than conventional super-steels.

The handle is injection-molded from Brown FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), the signature colorway for Spyderco's 15V family, and features the iconic "Triple B" logo laser-engraved on the blade. Despite its elite performance, the Lil' Native remains incredibly pocket-friendly, weighing a mere 1.6 ounces. Secured by a rock-solid back lock mechanism and featuring a deep-pocket wire clip, this USA-made Sprint Run is a rare fusion of experimental metallurgy and refined everyday carry ergonomics.
