Native Chief pocket knife with big ambitions
The Native Chief pocket knife is a longer version of the famous Native model, designed for those seeking a longer blade without compromising ergonomics or precision. This Spyderco folding knife in cobalt-blue G10 combines robustness, cutting quality and safety in a slender design that's still easy to handle. With its assertive look and high-tech steel, it is a reliable accessory for demanding users.
Exclusive, high-performance blade in CMP SPY-27 steel
The heart of the Native Chief pocket knife is its 10.3cm CPM SPY-27 stainless steel blade. This is an alloy designed exclusively for Spyderco by American metallurgist Crucible. It offers :
- Excellent cutting resistance over time
- High resistance to corrosion, even outdoors
- A hardness of around 62 HRC, offering excellent cutting resistance while remaining relatively easy to sharpen thanks to a homogeneous carbide structure (derived from powder metallurgy)
Its drop-point shape makes it remarkably versatile, ideal for precision cutting, everyday sharpness or more tactical uses. All in a long, sharp profile.
Thumbhole and backlock: secure efficiency
The Spyderco Native Chief folding knife features two emblematic Spyderco systems:
- Thumbhole: for smooth, one-handed opening, by both left- and right-handed users
- Backlock: secure back lock, which firmly locks the blade in the open position
This combination ensures comfortable, surprise-free handling, with a level of safety ideal for intensive use.
A long but balanced knife
At 13.2cm closed and 110g, this Native Chief pocket knife remains easy to carry while offering you a firm grip in the hand. It features :
- A pocket clip: for discreet wear on pants or a belt
- A lanyard hole: for attachment to a bag or carabiner
This long, slender knife offers optimum cutting comfort, even for large hands.
Durable cobalt-blue G10 handle
The handle of the Native Chief knife is made of G10, a fiberglass/resin composite known for :
- resistance to impact and wear
- dimensional stability, even with temperature variations
- good grip, even when wet
The cobalt blue color gives it a modern, distinctive look, while remaining sober.
