The Spyderco Lil’ Native Lightweight SPRINT RUN Brown brings premium performance into a compact, highly refined folding knife that’s built to impress both in use and in hand. This special sprint run pairs cutting-edge materials with a streamlined, lightweight build, creating a knife that feels purposeful, precise, and unmistakably Spyderco.
At the center of this design is a 2.42-inch leaf-shaped blade crafted from CPM 15V tool steel, a steel celebrated for its extreme wear resistance and exceptional edge retention. Developed for users who demand long-lasting sharpness, CPM 15V excels at holding a working edge through extended cutting tasks. The plain edge maximizes slicing efficiency, while the satin finish highlights the clean grind lines and gives the blade a refined, professional appearance. Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole allows for smooth, controlled one-handed opening that feels effortless despite the knife’s compact size.
The trusted backlock mechanism provides secure, reliable lockup with simple, intuitive operation. It’s a classic design that’s proven itself over decades, offering confidence and safety during use while keeping the knife easy to maintain. Combined with a blade thickness of just .09 inches, the Lil’ Native Lightweight delivers impressive cutting performance in a slim, agile profile.
The brown FRN handle keeps weight to an absolute minimum without sacrificing strength or grip. FRN is known for its durability and resistance to the elements, and its textured surface ensures a secure hold even when conditions aren’t ideal. Measuring 3.47 inches closed and 5.9 inches overall, this knife fits naturally in the pocket and disappears until it’s needed. At only 1.6 ounces, it’s remarkably easy to carry while still feeling capable and balanced in hand.
An ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip makes the Lil’ Native Lightweight equally comfortable for right- or left-handed users, and the integrated lanyard hole offers additional carry or personalization options. Every detail is thoughtfully executed, reinforcing the knife’s role as a practical, everyday companion that doesn’t compromise on materials or craftsmanship.
Proudly American-made, this sprint run showcases Spyderco’s commitment to innovation, quality, and domestic manufacturing. Built in the USA, it reflects the brand’s dedication to producing knives that perform consistently and stand the test of time. The combination of CPM 15V steel, lightweight construction, and compact dimensions makes this Lil’ Native a standout choice for collectors and users alike.
