Spyderco C244PBK Native Chief Lightweight Folder - CTS-BD1N Blade - Black FRN Handle

An "extended" version of the timeless Spyderco Native, the Native Chief stretches the overall length of the original design by about one-third while maintaining its slim, pocket-friendly profile. The all-new Native Chief Lightweight continues that evolution, replacing its G-10 scales with a lightweight, fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle. The injection-molded handle includes high-traction Bi-Directional Texturing™, and its linerless construction trims the knife's weight by 21 percent compared to its G-10 counterpart. It retains the same precision-machined back lock mechanism and includes threaded inserts to allow fully configurable mounting of the knife's four-position pocket clip. The blade of the Native Chief Lightweight is full-flat-ground from CTS® BD1N stainless steel and features a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ to complement the knife's symmetrical, completely ambidextrous design. It is also available in a choice of all three edge configurations.

    An excellent model in a lightweight form

    Posted by Ricardo on Dec 29th 2024

    The native chief is one of my favorite models. It’s great for piercing tasks and cuts through things, like cardboard, VERY well. This model is has the lightweight scales and a less expensive steel. I must admit that it seems to perform about the same when put up against everyday tasks. Also, the CTS-BD1N is easy to sharpen and stain resistant. I haven’t had issues with it.
