Product Description
The Spyderco Native Chief™ Lightweight Salt® C244PGR is a high-performance evolution of the Native design, engineered specifically for those who operate in the world’s harshest environments. This specialized model features a formidable 4.08" blade crafted from LC200N, a state-of-the-art nitrogen-enriched tool steel used by NASA for aerospace ball bearings. Renowned for its extraordinary corrosion resistance and impressive edge retention, LC200N ensures this "pocket sword" remains completely rust-proof even with constant exposure to saltwater.
Despite its impressive length, the Native Chief LW weighs significantly less than its predecessors thanks to a linerless Green FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) handle. The vibrant high-visibility green color is the hallmark of Spyderco’s LC200N Salt family, making the tool easy to locate in marine environments or low-light conditions. Equipped with a rock-solid back lock mechanism and a versatile four-position pocket clip, this USA-made folder delivers full-sized reach and professional-grade durability in a featherlight, maintenance-free package.
