Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a professional, or simply someone who appreciates quality tools, the Native Chief delivers on all fronts.
The star of this knife is its plain edge 4.08” blade, crafted from CPM S30V stainless steel. Known for its incredible edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, S30V is a high-performance steel that can tackle demanding tasks with ease. The leaf-shaped blade provides a perfect balance of slicing power and control, making it ideal for precision work and heavy-duty applications alike. Finished with a satin polish, the blade exudes a refined appearance while maintaining its rugged functionality.
Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole ensures smooth and effortless blade deployment, allowing for quick, one-handed operation when you need it most. The Native Chief is equipped with a robust backlock mechanism, delivering reliable lockup and enhanced safety during use. This manual folder is designed to provide confidence and dependability in every cut, whether you’re opening packages, preparing food, or handling tougher jobs in the field.
The Native Chief’s handle is built for durability and comfort. Made from lightweight yet rugged black FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), the handle features Spyderco’s bi-directional texturing, offering a secure grip even in slippery or wet conditions. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable hold, making this knife a pleasure to use for extended periods. Weighing just 3.9 ounces, it’s easy to carry without feeling cumbersome, despite its substantial size.
Practicality and versatility are at the forefront of the Native Chief’s design. The four-position pocket clip allows for tip-up or tip-down carry on either side, making it accessible for left- and right-handed users. The addition of a lanyard hole provides even more flexibility, enabling you to customize or attach the knife to your gear. When closed, the knife measures 5.08”, making it easy to carry discreetly, while its 9.08” overall length when open gives it the reach and cutting power needed for a wide range of tasks. With a .12” blade thickness, the Native Chief strikes a perfect balance between strength and precision.
