The Spyderco Native Chief in brown canvas Micarta with a CPM Cru-Wear blade (brand part no. C244MPCW) scales up the popular Native 5 into a longer, more capable folder while keeping the same Cru-Carta materials pairing. Made by Spyderco at its U.S. factory in Golden, Colorado, the 4.08-inch, full-flat-ground blade is satin finished and backed by the model’s dependable back lock. The smooth brown canvas Micarta scales will naturally patina with age, and the stainless backspacer and four-position pocket clip carry over directly from the Native 5 design.
