Product Description

The Spyderco Native® Chief™ Lightweight C244PBN15V is a high-performance Sprint Run that takes the time-tested ergonomics of the Native series and stretches them to a formidable 9-inch overall length. This limited edition features a 4.02" blade crafted from CPM® 15V®, a particle metallurgy tool steel with a massive 15% vanadium content—the highest of any commercially available cold-work tool steel. Optimized by a specialized heat-treatment sequence from custom maker Shawn Houston (Triple B Handmade), the blade delivers "breathtaking" edge retention and extreme wear resistance.

The handle is injection-molded from Brown FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), the signature colorway for Spyderco’s 15V series, and features Bi-Directional Texturing™ for an unshakeable grip. Despite its impressive reach, the linerless construction keeps the total weight at just 3.1 ounces, making it incredibly easy to carry for its size. Built with a high-strength back lock mechanism and a fully configurable four-position pocket clip, this USA-made Sprint Run is the definitive choice for professionals and enthusiasts who require maximum cutting stamina in a lightweight, full-sized folder.
