An Improved Classic - The Lil Native takes the highly refined ergonomics of the popular Native 5 and scales them down into a more compact package. It provides a four-finger grip that allows it to perform with the authority of a full-sized knife.
A Secure Grip - It's black scaled G-10 handle has a unique non-slip checked texture. This handle provides a special kind of comfort, creating a reliable, long-term carry.
Low Friction -This knife features a blade ground with flat bevels that extend from the spine all the way to the cutting edge. This grind reduces drag during cutting and decreases overall weight.
Versatile - Our SpyderEdge serrated blades are most popularly known for their powerful cutting performance on fibrous materials. The SpderEdge pattern increases the cutting edge's surface area by up to 24%.
Extreme Lock Strength - The Compression Lock mechanism was developed and pateneted by Spyderco to provide greater lock strength and ease of use. This lock system uses a leaf-like spring to wedge between a ramp on the blade tang and the stop pin.
The Lil Native distills all the key qualities of the iconic Native model into a compact, easy-to-carry gentleman's folder with a 2.5-inch blade. This version further elevates the design by adding Spyderco's patented high-strength Compression Lock mechanism and cloaking the blade in a non-reflective Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating. Its full-flat-ground CPM S30V stainless steel blade is available with a choice of PlainEdge or SpyderEdge cutting edges and includes a prominent index-finger choil that offers even larger hands a full, four-fingered grip. A low-profile deep-pocket wire clip allows left or right-side tip-up carry and keeps the knife poised for instant access. To complement the blade's finish, the clip and all handle screws also sport a subdued black finish.
