The Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight Salt is a testament to innovative engineering and practical design, making it an exceptional choice for those who demand reliability and performance in their cutting tools. Weighing twenty-one percent less than its G-10-handled counterpart, this knife features fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle scales with high-traction Bi-Directional Texturing. This construction not only reduces weight but also enhances grip security, even under challenging conditions.
A proud member of Spyderco's renowned Salt Series, the Native Chief Lightweight Salt showcases a full-flat-ground blade crafted from LC200N steel. Known for its ultra-corrosion-resistant properties, LC200N has been selected by NASA for use in spacecraft ball bearings—an endorsement that speaks volumes about its durability and resilience.
Available in both PlainEdge and fully serrated SpyderEdge configurations, the blade offers versatility to suit various tasks. The absence of liners contributes to reduced weight without compromising structural integrity. The handle is injection molded in a signature high-visibility green color that distinguishes the LC200N Lightweight Salt family.
This vibrant handle houses a robust back lock mechanism known for secure locking during use while maintaining ease of operation when needed. For added convenience, four sets of threaded inserts allow users to configure the included pocket clip into any one of four positions—ensuring comfort regardless of carry preference.
The Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight Salt stands as an exemplar within modern cutlery—a blend of advanced materials and thoughtful design resulting in a tool ready to meet diverse demands with steadfast assurance.
