Product Description

The Spyderco Native Chief™ Lightweight C244SBK is a precision-engineered evolution of the iconic Native 5, "stretched" to provide a full 4-inch blade for superior reach and leverage. This lightweight iteration replaces traditional G-10 with high-strength fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), reducing the overall weight by 21% without compromising structural integrity. It is the perfect choice for users who need a full-sized tactical folder that carries as comfortably as a compact EDC.

The 4.02" blade is precision-ground from CTS® BD1N stainless steel, a nitrogen-enriched alloy known for its razor-sharp edge and high corrosion resistance. This model features a fully serrated SpyderEdge™, providing aggressive "bite" and a massive increase in effective cutting surface area for powering through rope, webbing, and other tough, fibrous materials. The Black FRN handle is injection-molded with Bi-Directional Texturing™ for a non-slip grip and houses a rock-solid, ambidextrous back lock mechanism.

• CTS BD1N Stainless Steel: A high-carbon, nitrogen-enriched steel that delivers an elite balance of hardness, edge retention, and ease of maintenance.

• Aggressive SpyderEdge™ Serrations: Optimized for heavy-duty utility and rescue tasks, providing relentless sawing power through synthetic materials.

• Ultra-Lightweight FRN Construction: Linerless handle design drops the total weight to a mere 3.1 ounces, offering a remarkable weight-to-blade-length ratio.

• Ambidextrous Back Lock: A precision-machined, high-strength locking mechanism that is equally accessible for left and right-handed users.

• 4-Position Pocket Clip: Features threaded inserts to allow for tip-up or tip-down carry on either side, ensuring the knife is always configured to your preference.
