Product Description
The Spyderco Lil' Native® C230GPBN15V is a limited-edition Sprint Run designed for users who demand extreme edge retention in a sub-compact format. This model features a 2.42" blade crafted from CPM® 15V®, a particle metallurgy tool steel boasting a massive 15% vanadium content. To maximize its potential, the blade utilizes a specialized heat-treatment sequence developed by custom maker Shawn Houston of Triple B Handmade, resulting in unparalleled wear resistance. The rugged stonewashed finish provides a low-reflective look that hides scratches from hard use.
The handle is constructed from Brown G-10, the designated color for Spyderco's elite 15V series, offering a high-traction, durable grip. Despite its small footprint, the Lil' Native provides "big knife" ergonomics thanks to its 50/50 finger choil and high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism. Proudly made in Golden, Colorado, this Sprint Run is a rare intersection of experimental metallurgy and refined EDC utility—perfect for the collector who actually puts their tools to work.
