Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight Salt Yellow Handle CPM Magnacut Serrated Blade SPC244SYL

The Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight Salt Folding Knife in Yellow is engineered for extreme corrosion resistance, superior performance, and reliable everyday use. Designed as part of Spyderco’s revolutionary Salt® Series, this model is 21 percent lighter than its G-10-handled counterpart, making it exceptionally portable without sacrificing strength or durability. The handle is molded from linerless, injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), reducing metal components while offering a high-traction Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for a secure grip in any condition. Its bright yellow color ensures high visibility, while the handle hardware is crafted from ultra-corrosion-resistant materials, keeping the knife functional in the harshest environments.

The heart of the Native Chief Lightweight Salt is its 4.02-inch drop-point blade made from Crucible® Industries’ CPM® MagnaCut® stainless steel, a particle metallurgy steel that delivers an exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance. The blade is full-flat ground for optimal slicing performance, providing a precise and efficient edge geometry that handles everyday tasks and rugged use with ease. The SpyderEdge™ serrated configuration excels at cutting fibrous materials like rope, webbing, and cordage, while the full-flat grind ensures smooth, clean cuts. A precision-machined back lock mechanism secures the blade in place, giving users confidence during demanding tasks.

Versatility in carry is a hallmark of the Native Chief Lightweight Salt. The high-visibility handle includes threaded inserts that allow the four-position pocket clip to be mounted on either side or end of the handle, supporting all possible carry preferences. Weighing just 3.1 ounces and measuring 9.05 inches overall, this knife balances portability with performance, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, mariners, and professionals who need a reliable, corrosion-resistant cutting tool. As part of the Salt® Series, every component is designed to withstand saltwater and other corrosive environments, giving users peace of mind when operating in extreme conditions.

With its lightweight FRN handle, CPM® MagnaCut® blade, and versatile carry options, the Native Chief Lightweight Salt embodies Spyderco’s commitment to innovative design, functionality, and resilience for users who demand the best.
