The Native Chief Lightweight is 21% lighter than its G-10-handled counterpart. The linerless, injection-molded, fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle also reduces the knife's metal parts and adds the benefit of our high-traction Bi-Directional Texture. These features make it an ideal platform for inclusion in Spyderco's revolutionary Salt series of corrosion-resistant cutting tools. The Native Chief Lightweight Salt enhances the design with a blade crafted from Crucible Industries' CPM MagnaCut, a revolutionary particle-metallurgy steel that offers an impressive balance of edge retention, toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance. Ground completely flat for optimal edge geometry and available in both PlainEdge and SpyderEdge configurations, its blade is supported by a precision-machined rear lock mechanism and a high-visibility yellow FRN handle. The handle includes threaded inserts that allow you to mount a four-position pocket clip on both sides and ends of the handle, accommodating all possible carrying preferences. Like all our Salt series folding knives, the metal parts of this knife's handle are crafted exclusively from ultra-corrosion-resistant materials.
