An "extended" evolution of the classic Spyderco Native, the Native Chief Lightweight Salt MagnaCut stretches the iconic design by about one-third while maintaining its slim, pocket-friendly profile. This model features Spyderco’s lightweight, ultra-durable fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle, making it a perfect blend of strength and reduced weight—21% lighter than the original G10 version.
 
Crafted for serious performance, the handle includes high-traction Bi-Directional Texturing, ensuring a secure grip, and its linerless construction contributes to its featherweight feel. It retains the precision-machined lockback mechanism that Spyderco is known for, along with fully configurable four-position pocket clip mounting, ensuring maximum versatility for all carry preferences.
 
The Native Chief Lightweight Salt comes with an exceptional blade crafted from CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel, known for its unmatched edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Whether you choose the PlainEdge or SpyderEdge configuration, the full-flat ground blade offers superior cutting performance and durability. Like all Spyderco Salt Series knives, the Native Chief Lightweight Salt features ultra-corrosion-resistant materials, including the blade and handle hardware, making it the ideal tool for challenging environments.
