Spyderco Lil Native Sprint Run Brown 2.42 Inch Plain Satin Leaf

Don’t let its size fool you—the Spyderco Lil’ Native Sprint Run in brown G-10 packs serious cutting performance into a sleek, compact frame. Proudly made in the USA, this Sprint Run version stands out with its upgraded CPM 15V blade steel and rock-solid compression lock. Built for daily reliability with the refined touch of a collector’s piece, the Lil’ Native is a compact folder that punches well above its weight class.

The 2.42-inch leaf-shaped blade is made from CPM 15V, a premium tool steel designed for extreme edge retention and long-term durability. With a fine-grained structure and a remarkable resistance to wear, CPM 15V allows you to keep working longer between sharpenings—perfect for anyone who demands true, lasting performance from their everyday carry knife. The satin finish adds a sleek, professional look and enhances corrosion resistance without sacrificing the clean lines Spyderco fans appreciate.

True to its name, the Lil’ Native blends the DNA of the popular Native series into a smaller, more pocket-friendly format. Measuring just 3.47 inches closed and 5.89 inches overall, it slips into any pocket with ease. But thanks to Spyderco’s compression lock mechanism, this knife feels as robust and ready as larger models. Located on the spine of the handle, the compression lock is one of the strongest and safest locking systems available, providing secure blade lock-up and easy one-handed closing—all without putting your fingers in the blade’s path.

Opening the blade is fast and fluid, thanks to Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole. Whether you’re right- or left-handed, the ambidextrous design works effortlessly, offering smooth deployment every time. The fully ambidextrous build extends to the four-position pocket clip, letting you customize your carry for left or right, tip-up or tip-down. It’s this kind of thoughtful design that makes the Lil’ Native such a versatile and user-friendly knife.

The handle features brown G-10 scales that provide excellent grip, a warm aesthetic, and durable, lightweight construction. G-10’s textured surface helps ensure a confident hold even in tough conditions, while the ergonomic design fills the hand comfortably despite the knife’s small footprint. At just 2.5 ounces, the Lil’ Native is light enough to carry all day without a second thought, yet it still offers a sturdy, reliable feel that’s ready for real work.

With a blade thickness of .12 inches, this compact folder delivers an excellent balance of slicing precision and durability. Whether you're opening packages, preparing food, or tackling light-duty chores, the Lil’ Native handles it all with ease.
