The Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight Salt is a high-performance folding knife designed for demanding environments. Weighing approximately twenty-one percent less than its G-10-handled counterpart, this model features a durable fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle with high-traction Bi-Directional Texturing, ensuring a secure grip even in wet or challenging conditions. Its vibrant green injection-molded handle not only provides excellent visibility but also houses the sturdy back lock mechanism, offering reliable blade deployment and secure lockup. The handle includes four sets of threaded inserts for customizable mounting options, including a four-position pocket clip attachment.
The full-flat-ground blade is precision machined from LC200N steel, renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance—making it an ideal choice for saltwater and marine environments.
