Product Description

The most rust-proof version of Spyderco's full-size Native Chief — LC200N steel, marine-grade hardware throughout, and a linerless FRN handle 21% lighter than the G-10 model, in Spyderco's signature Salt Series high-visibility green.

The 4.02" full-flat-ground blade is precision machined from LC200N — a nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel originally developed for NASA ball bearings used in spacecraft, where absolute corrosion immunity under extreme conditions is a non-negotiable engineering requirement. In a knife blade, LC200N is the benchmark for marine and aquatic environments: it will not rust in saltwater, will not spot from prolonged water exposure, and maintains its edge through conditions that compromise every conventional stainless alloy. The full-flat grind maximizes slicing geometry across the 3.52" edge length — a significant cutting advantage for fishing, diving, and water-adjacent tasks where efficient blade geometry matters more than brute thickness. The SpyderEdge fully serrated format is the correct choice for cutting rope, webbing, netting, and cordage in wet conditions, where serrations outperform plain edges on fibrous material. Every piece of hardware on this knife — clip, screws, pivot — is marine-grade or proprietary coated specifically to match the LC200N blade's corrosion resistance. The knife is genuinely built from end to end for water.

• Blade: 4.02" LC200N nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel, full-flat grind, fully serrated SpyderEdge, uncoated — NASA spacecraft-grade corrosion resistance; 3.52" edge length; 0.125" stock
• Handle: Linerless fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern, high-visibility Salt Series green — 21% lighter than G-10 counterpart; no metal liners means no internal rust vectors; non-slip grip in wet conditions
• Deployment / Lock: Spyderco round hole thumb deployment, ambidextrous; Back Lock — sturdy, field-reliable, no liner components to corrode
• Carry: 3.1 oz; four-position clip (tip-up/tip-down, left/right) with fully configurable threaded inserts; marine-grade clip and hardware throughout; 5.08" closed length

Ideal For

• Saltwater anglers and fishing guides — LC200N is the only production folder steel that genuinely does not require post-use freshwater rinsing or drying to prevent corrosion; the SpyderEdge cuts braid, mono, and heavy leader without hesitation
• Divers, kayakers, and water rescue personnel — high-visibility green handle, ambidextrous four-position clip, and Back Lock reliability under water pressure make this the purpose-built choice for on-body water carry
• Hunters and outdoor users in wet environments — anyone who works in rain, mud, or humidity and has watched a "stainless" blade develop rust spots will understand exactly what LC200N solves

For any carry environment where water is the primary threat to your knife, the Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight Salt LC200N SpyderEdge (C244SGR) is the most complete answer Spyderco makes — full-size reach, purpose-built hardware, and the most corrosion-resistant steel in production folding knives, backed by the legendary service and fast shipping Knifeworks is known for.
