The Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight is a long, slim, high-performance folding knife designed for maximum cutting efficiency with minimal weight. Extending the proven Native platform, it delivers a full-sized slicing blade in a lightweight, easy-carry package.

The long full-flat-ground blade excels at slicing and controlled cutting tasks, making it an ideal everyday carry tool for users who prioritise clean cutting performance over heavy-duty blade stock. Paired with a lightweight FRN handle featuring Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texturing, it provides a secure grip without adding unnecessary weight.

The CTS-BD1 stainless steel blade offers excellent corrosion resistance and easy maintenance, making it well suited to everyday carry in a wide range of environments. Spyderco’s signature Round Hole allows fast, ambidextrous one-handed opening, while the secure back lock ensures dependable blade lock-up during use.

Despite its extended blade length, the Native Chief Lightweight carries comfortably thanks to its slim profile and reversible deep-carry pocket clip.
