Longer reach, lighter carry, and SPY27 power throughout.

An extended interpretation of the iconic Native, the Native Chief stretches the original design by roughly one-third while keeping its slim, pocket-friendly profile. The Lightweight version swaps G10 scales for injection-molded FRN, cutting weight by 21% while preserving strength and ergonomics.

This SPY27 edition elevates the platform with Spyderco’s proprietary cobalt-enriched stainless steel, developed with Crucible Industries. CPM-SPY27 refines the proven VG-10 formula with added alloys and particle metallurgy, delivering outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance in a full-flat-ground blade. Bi-Directional Texturing ensures a secure grip, and the linerless construction keeps the knife exceptionally light without sacrificing rigidity, while four sets of threaded inserts allow fully ambidextrous, four-position clip mounting.
