Long Reach. Salt-Ready. A Lightweight Folder Built for Harsh Environments.

The Native Chief Lightweight Salt is Spyderco’s extended take on the classic Native platform, now optimized for corrosion resistance and ultralight carry. Featuring a full-flat-ground LC200N blade and a vibrant green FRN handle, this USA-made folder is purpose-built for performance near water, in humid climates, or anywhere rust is a concern.

With a secure lockback and fully configurable clip setup, it’s a reliable companion for both work and adventure. LC200N brings NASA-grade corrosion resistance with excellent edge retention, and the linerless FRN handle keeps weight down without sacrificing strength. Bi-Directional Texturing ensures control in wet or slippery conditions.
