SHOP CASE KNIVESIf you’re after a sleek, versatile, and precision-engineered everyday carry, the Spyderco Native 5 Blackout is a knife that’s hard to beat. Proudly made in the USA, this cutting-edge tool blends rugged performance with refined craftsmanship, all packed into a lightweight, ergonomic design.
At the heart of the Native 5 Blackout is its 2.95-inch leaf-shaped blade, crafted from premium CPM S30V stainless steel. This high-performance steel is renowned for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and resistance to corrosion. Coated with a durable black DLC (diamond-like carbon) finish, the blade isn’t just visually striking—it’s also enhanced with added scratch resistance and reduced glare, making it perfect for tactical, discreet, or outdoor applications.
Spyderco’s signature thumb hole is a standout feature, offering smooth, one-handed opening for both left- and right-handed users. The backlock mechanism delivers rock-solid lockup, ensuring safety and stability during use. With a 0.12-inch blade thickness, the Native 5 offers a robust cutting edge without feeling bulky, letting you tackle slicing, piercing, and precision cutting with ease.
The handle is made from black fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), a lightweight yet incredibly strong material that’s perfect for hard-use environments. Textured for a non-slip grip, it’s comfortable in hand, even during extended use. The Native 5’s 4-inch closed length provides a compact, pocket-friendly profile that’s ready to go wherever you do.
Customizable carry options are another hallmark of this design. With a four-position pocket clip, you can position the knife for left- or right-hand carry, tip-up or tip-down—your choice, your way. The lanyard hole adds another layer of versatility, giving you the option to secure it for quick access or attach a personal touch.
Weighing in at just 2.5 ounces, the Native 5 Blackout delivers heavyweight performance without the burden. When fully open, it measures 6.95 inches, providing a balanced, efficient cutting tool that’s as ready for daily tasks as it is for outdoor adventures.
If you’re looking for a knife that’s as stylish as it is functional, the Native 5 Blackout fits the bill. Its all-black, no-nonsense design makes a statement, while its American-made quality ensures you’re getting a tool built to last. Precision machining, thoughtful ergonomics, and premium materials all come together in a knife that’s sure to become a staple in your collection.
