Product Description
The Spyderco Native Chief™ C244GPCBL takes the time-tested ergonomics of the iconic Native® model and stretches them into a formidable, full-sized cutting tool. This premium iteration features a blade crafted from CPM® SPY27®, a cobalt-enriched stainless steel developed exclusively for Spyderco by Crucible® Industries. This American-made powder metallurgy steel is specifically engineered to provide a superior balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for a long-format folding workhorse.
The 4.08" blade features a full-flat grind for world-class slicing geometry and a classic satin finish. Despite its impressive length, the Native Chief maintains a slim, lightweight profile thanks to its linerless construction and vibrant Cobalt Blue G-10 scales—the signature color of Spyderco’s SPY27 family. Secured by a precision-machined back lock mechanism, this USA-made folder is fully ambidextrous and built for those who need maximum reach without the bulk of a traditional large knife.
