Heritage Refined. Lightweight Engineered. Built to Endure. Fifth-generation Native, perfected.

The Native 5 Lightweight is the fifth-generation evolution of Spyderco’s iconic Native series—now optimized for ultralight carry without sacrificing strength or control. Its full-flat ground CPM® S30V® spear point blade delivers exceptional slicing performance and tip utility, while the linerless FRN handle with Bi-Directional Texturing™ ensures a secure grip in any condition.

A highly refined back lock and 4-way clip configuration make this knife a pocket-sized powerhouse built for everyday excellence. At just 2.45 ounces, it pairs featherweight carry with the strength, ergonomics, and durability the Native line is known for. The distal taper and swedge sharpen slicing and point utility.
