Maxamet Mastery. Lightweight Precision. Built to Endure. Extreme edge retention, featherweight carry.

The Native 5 Lightweight Maxamet pairs Spyderco’s refined ergonomics with Carpenter’s Micro-Melt® Maxamet—an alloy so hard it borders on carbide territory. Originally developed for industrial rollers, Maxamet offers extreme edge retention and cutting strength. Spyderco’s mastery in machining and heat treating this steel makes this knife a standout in the high-performance EDC category.

With a gray FRN handle, Bi-Directional Texturing™, and a refined back lock, it’s featherweight yet formidable. Linerless construction keeps weight low while the full-flat-ground blade delivers low-friction slicing and point utility. A 4-way hourglass clip and oversized lanyard hole make carry and customization easy. It’s built for everyday carry.
