Twenty-one percent lighter than its G-10- handled counterpart, the Native Chief Lightweight features fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle scales and high-traction Bi-Directional Texturing. Those qualities made it an ideal candidate for inclusion in Spyderco’s remarkable Salt Series. This Native Chief Lightweight Salt showcases a full-flat-ground blade precision machined from ultra-corrosion-resistant LC200N steel, best known as NASA’s material of choice for ball bearings in spacecraft. Available in both PlainEdge and fully serrated SpyderEdge formats, the blade is paired with a linerless handle injection molded in the signature high-visibility green color of our LC200N lightweight Salt family. The vibrant handle also houses the knife’s sturdy back lock mechanism and includes four sets of threaded inserts to allow fully configurable mounting of a four-position pocket clip
