Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight CPM 15V: The King of Durability

The Native Chief Lightweight builds on the legendary design of the Native 5, but in an extended version. This specific Sprint Run is a rare treat for serious users and collectors. Combining a longer blade with revolutionary CPM 15V steel, this knife is designed for those seeking maximum cutting capacity without extra weight in their pocket.

What makes this version truly unique is the choice of steel and the specialist finish that are rarely found in mass production.

- Revolutionary CPM 15V Steel: This powder metallurgical steel contains an extremely high content of vanadium carbides. The result is a wear resistance that surpasses virtually every other type of steel on the market.
- Triple B Heat Treatment: The blade has undergone a special hardening process, optimized by renowned custom knife maker Shawn Houston (Triple B Venture), whose logo also adorns the blade. This maximizes edge retention.
- Full-Flat-Ground Blade: The 10.20 cm blade is fully flat ground, which, in combination with the thin profile, provides exceptional cutting properties.
- Lightweight FRN Handle: The brown fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) scales feature the familiar Spyderco Bi-Directional Texture for an unshakeable grip, while keeping the weight down to just 88 grams.
- Reliable Back Lock: An extremely strong locking mechanism anchored deep in the handle guarantees safety during the heavier cutting tasks this knife is designed for.

The Native Chief Lightweight offers the range of a large pocket knife with the ease of carrying a small EDC model. Thanks to the four-position pocket clip, you can carry the knife according to your preference: left, right, tip-up, or tip-down. For professionals who need to cut materials that normally dull a blade quickly (such as thick cardboard, rope, or carpet), the CPM 15V steel is an absolute game changer that drastically extends the time between sharpening.

The generous finger notch (choil) allows you to grip the knife “short” for precision work, while the full handle provides enough space for a firm fist grip during heavy use. The iconic Round Hole makes opening with gloves or with one hand extremely easy. Please note: due to the extreme hardness of the steel, it is recommended to use high-quality sharpening tools (such as diamond or CBN) for maintenance.

This knife is ideal for steel enthusiasts who want to explore the limits of material technology, and for users who need a long blade in a feather-light package. As a Sprint Run model, it is also a valuable item for Spyderco collectors.
