Lightweight. Corrosion-proof. Built for adventure. 🌊
The Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight Salt takes one of Spyderco’s most refined folding knives and gives it the ultimate upgrade — a blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut, the revolutionary stainless steel designed for peak performance in the harshest environments.

This model is 21% lighter than its G-10 counterpart, thanks to a linerless FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) handle that reduces metal components while maintaining exceptional strength. The handle’s Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern ensures a secure grip, even in wet or gloved conditions — making it a perfect fit for the Spyderco Salt Series of corrosion-resistant knives. 💪

The full-flat ground MagnaCut blade features Spyderco’s signature SpyderEdge serration, delivering unmatched slicing efficiency and edge retention. Its precision-machined back lock mechanism ensures rock-solid lockup, while the four-position pocket clip supports left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry — total versatility for any user.

Finished with high-visibility yellow handles and ultra-corrosion-resistant hardware, the Native Chief Lightweight Salt is ready to tackle any challenge — from saltwater expeditions to everyday utility tasks. ⚓

Since its debut in 1997, the Spyderco Native has stood as one of the most trusted and recognized folding knives in the world. Now, with the Native 5 Lightweight SpyderEdge (C41SBK5), Spyderco continues its proud tradition of American-made quality, innovation, and precision engineering — all while delivering exceptional cutting performance in a lighter, more ergonomic design.

🇺🇸 Built on Decades of Excellence

The Native 5 Lightweight represents the fifth generation of this iconic series, embodying Spyderco’s philosophy of Constant Quality Improvement (C.Q.I.). Every detail — from blade geometry to handle texture — has been refined for superior control, comfort, and performance.

This model is proudly made in the USA, offering both everyday users and knife enthusiasts a tool they can rely on in any situation.

⚙️ High-Performance Blade Design

The Native 5 Lightweight features a 2.95-inch spearpoint blade crafted from CPM S30V premium stainless steel, known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness.

The full-flat grind and distal taper ensure smooth, efficient slicing, while the SpyderEdge serration excels at cutting through tough materials like rope, fabric, and cordage.

A textured index-finger choil, thumb ramp, and subtle swedge provide a confident, ergonomic grip and precise blade control — ideal for both utility and tactical use.

⚡ Lightweight Strength with FRN Handle

The handle is made from fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), molded with Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texture pattern for maximum grip security in any condition.
This advanced handle design eliminates the need for metal liners, reducing the knife’s weight to just 2.5 ounces without compromising durability.

It’s easy to carry all day — whether clipped to your pocket, attached to a pack, or worn on your belt.

🔒 Refined Back Lock & Versatile Carry Options

The highly engineered back lock mechanism has been perfected for smooth operation and rock-solid lockup, taking Spyderco’s classic lock design to a new level of reliability.

For versatility, the Native 5 Lightweight offers four-position pocket clip carry (tip-up/tip-down, left/right side), along with a lanyard hole for easy customization and secure retention.
