Outdoor Reach, Everyday Control
The Native Chief Lightweight Salt takes Spyderco’s long-blade platform and refines it into a lighter, more corrosion-proof tool built for demanding environments. By replacing the traditional G-10 construction with a linerless FRN handle, this version sheds significant weight while improving grip and reducing metal components. That makes it a natural fit for the Salt Series, where resistance to water, salt, and harsh conditions is paramount. For those browsing secondhand Spyderco UK listings in search of a large, capable folder that thrives outdoors, the Native Chief Salt stands out as a serious and purpose-driven design.
This example is in 'like new in box' condition, literally indistinguishable from brand new. Complete with original box and papers.
"The sword of the sea! The Native Chief provides those extra inches to the Salt Series." - Mr. Narwhal 
Built for Water, Built for Weather
At the heart of the knife is a full-flat-ground blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut, a modern particle metallurgy steel prized for its rare combination of excellent edge retention, impressive toughness, and outstanding corrosion resistance. Available in both PlainEdge and SpyderEdge formats, the blade is secured by a precision-machined back lock for dependable strength and confidence in use. The high-visibility yellow FRN handle features Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texture pattern for a secure grip, even when wet, and includes threaded inserts that allow the four-position pocket clip to be configured for left or right-handed, tip-up or tip-down carry. As with all Salt Series knives, every component is built from highly corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long-term reliability in challenging conditions.
