The Spyderco Lil’ Native in black G-10 (brand part no. C230GP) distills the Native 5’s key qualities into a compact, easy-to-carry gentleman’s folder. Made by Spyderco at its U.S. factory in Golden, Colorado, the 2.42-inch, full-flat-ground CPM S30V blade carries a satin finish and a PlainEdge grind, secured by the model’s dependable back lock. A prominent index-finger choil lets even larger hands get a full, four-fingered grip despite the knife’s small size, and the black G-10 handle keeps the whole package light for pocket or dress carry.
