SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight Partially Serrated Black is the epitome of American craftsmanship, proudly made in the USA to deliver precision, strength, and reliability. Designed for those who demand top-tier performance from their everyday carry (EDC) knives, this lightweight folding knife pairs rugged functionality with a sleek, user-friendly design.
At the heart of the Native Chief is its 4.02” partially serrated leaf-shaped blade, crafted from high-performance CTS-BD1N stainless steel. Known for its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, this American-made steel ensures the blade stays sharp and ready for action. The plain edge section offers precision for slicing and detailed tasks, while the serrated portion easily powers through tough materials like rope, cord, and fabric. A satin finish adds a touch of sophistication, giving the blade a polished, professional appearance.
Spyderco’s iconic round thumb hole takes center stage, offering smooth, one-handed deployment with ease. Combined with a secure backlock mechanism, the Native Chief ensures rock-solid blade stability during use, giving you confidence in every cut. Whether you’re tackling tough tasks or handling everyday chores, this knife delivers flawless performance every time.
The handle, crafted from durable black FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), is designed with both strength and comfort in mind. Lightweight yet incredibly tough, FRN resists wear and environmental stress, making it ideal for both urban and outdoor environments. The bi-directional texture enhances grip, ensuring a secure hold even in wet or slippery conditions. At just 3.1 ounces, this knife offers exceptional portability, making it perfect for everyday carry without weighing you down.
With a closed length of 5.08 inches and an overall length of 9.05 inches, the Native Chief strikes an ideal balance between compact storage and extended reach. The .12” blade thickness provides the durability you need without sacrificing precision. A lanyard hole adds versatility, allowing you to attach accessories or personalize your knife to suit your style.
As a manual folder, the Native Chief Lightweight Partially Serrated Black offers smooth, no-nonsense operation, making it a dependable companion for work, adventure, or everyday tasks. Whether you’re slicing through tough materials or performing detailed cuts, this knife is designed to handle it all.
