The Spyderco Native 5 Salt C41SGR5 is the compact locking serrated Salt series folder for buyers who need LC200N corrosion resistance and SpyderEdge cutting performance in a Compression Lock package that fits any pocket, clips to any PFD, and handles the line, rope, and cordage cutting that makes up the majority of real on-water knife use — at 2.95 inches and under 3 oz in Green FRN.

The LC200N blade is a nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel engineered specifically for maximum corrosion resistance in saltwater and high-humidity environments — one of the few production knife steels that can be left wet with salt water without developing the pitting and rust that appear on conventional stainless within days. On the Native 5 platform, LC200N is paired with a SpyderEdge fully serrated grind that maximizes the practical cutting performance a compact marine carry knife delivers: serrations cut fishing line, rope, braid, webbing, and netting faster and with less force than any plain edge, and they retain functional cutting ability longer between resharpenings — critical on a knife that may see heavy line-cutting use between professional sharpening access in a coastal or marine environment. The Native 5's leaf-shaped blade profile and compact 2.95-inch length produce a knife that is genuinely pocketable in any carry environment while delivering full Compression Lock security that the slip joint UK Penknife Salt cannot match.

• Blade: LC200N nitrogen-alloyed stainless, flat grind, leaf-shaped profile, satin finish, SpyderEdge serrations — nitrogen-based steel engineered for maximum corrosion resistance in sustained saltwater and high-humidity environments; SpyderEdge serrations cut fishing line, rope, and cordage faster and with less force than plain edge, retaining functional cutting ability longer between resharpenings
• Handle: Green FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), textured for positive grip in wet conditions, compact Native 5 ergonomics — FRN is impervious to salt, moisture, and temperature change; lightweight construction keeps the Native 5 Salt under 3 oz for PFD attachment and vest carry
• Deployment / Lock: Spyderco Round Hole thumb opening, Compression Lock — the Compression Lock leaf spring engages the blade tang from the handle spine rather than the scale, making it fully ambidextrous and one of the strongest lock geometries in production folding knives; lateral blade pressure increases lock engagement rather than working against it
• Carry: Under 3.00 oz, tip-up right-hand clip, 4.10 inches closed — compact enough for front pocket carry; Green FRN construction keeps carry weight minimal for PFD or vest attachment; lanyard hole present for tethered water carry

Ideal For

Saltwater anglers and boaters who want a compact locking serrated Salt series folder as a dedicated line cutting and water safety knife — the Native 5 Salt delivers LC200N corrosion resistance and SpyderEdge serrated cutting performance in the smallest Compression Lock Salt series package in the Knifeworks lineup, light enough to clip to a PFD without adding perceptible weight. Buyers who want a locking serrated Salt series knife at a smaller blade length than the Native Chief Salt — the Native 5's 2.95-inch blade and Compression Lock occupy the compact carry space between the slip joint UK Penknife Salt and the larger Native Chief Salt variants, with the security of a locking folder at a more pocketable closed length. Coastal and high-humidity EDC buyers upgrading from a conventional stainless serrated penknife who replace corroded blades annually — LC200N eliminates that corrosion cycle entirely and holds the SpyderEdge serrations in functional cutting condition through sustained saltwater exposure without the pitting that destroys conventional stainless serration gullets.

LC200N corrosion resistance, SpyderEdge serrations, Compression Lock security, and Green FRN under 3 oz — the Spyderco Native 5 Salt C41SGR5 is the compact locking serrated Salt series folder for buyers who need a marine-ready knife in the most pocketable Compression Lock format available, at $161.
