Spyderco's Native Chief Lightweight Salt (C244PGR) isn't just another addition to their legendary Salt Series—it's a purpose-built tool designed to thrive in the toughest, wettest conditions on Earth. With an ultra-corrosion-resistant blade, lightweight yet grippy handle, and unmistakable high-visibility color, this folder is a standout in both performance and design.

LC200N Steel: Space-Age Toughness, Everyday Practicality

At the heart of the Native Chief Lightweight Salt is a 4.02-inch blade crafted from LC200N, a nitrogen-enriched steel originally used by NASA for ball bearings in spacecraft. Why LC200N? Because it's incredibly tough, holds an edge well, and is virtually immune to rust, making it ideal for marine environments, fishing trips, and humid climates where other steels fail.

The blade features a full-flat grind for exceptional slicing performance, and the plain edge ensures clean, precise cuts in all your day-to-day tasks.

Featherweight Strength with FRN Construction

What makes this Salt variant "lightweight"? A fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle that drops the overall weight to just 3.1 ounces (88g)—21% lighter than its G-10-handled sibling. Spyderco didn't just reduce weight; they improved ergonomics with Bi-Directional Texturing, offering a sure grip in wet, cold, or gloved hands.

The signature high-visibility green handle isn’t just for style—it’s a practical feature in the field, especially near water, where a dropped tool could be lost forever.

Lock It Down, Clip It Anywhere

The sturdy back lock mechanism ensures reliable and safe operation, and Spyderco doesn’t cut corners on carry options. The Native Chief Salt features four sets of threaded inserts, supporting ambidextrous, four-position pocket clip carry—tip-up, tip-down, left or right. No matter your preference or dominant hand, this knife adapts to you.
