Upgrade your everyday carry with the Native Chief™ Lightweight – an expertly engineered folding knife, purpose-built for UK knife enthusiasts seeking premium performance and versatility. Drawing inspiration from the acclaimed Native® 5 Lightweight, the Native Chief™ Lightweight extends the classic design by one third, delivering an extended blade for enhanced cutting capability and reach.
This exclusive Sprint Run® edition features a full-flat-ground blade crafted from advanced CPM® 15V® steel. Renowned for its exceptionally high volume of ultra-hard vanadium carbides, CPM® 15V® offers industry-leading wear resistance, edge retention, and durability. Each blade is expertly hardened and tempered using a specialised process developed by custom knifemaker Shawn Houston, ensuring outstanding cutting performance. The blade also proudly displays Houston’s “Triple B” logo, laser-engraved on the reverse side for authenticity.
The Native Chief™ Lightweight features a robust, brown, injection-moulded fibreglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle, providing a secure, ergonomic grip and reduced carry weight. A high-strength back lock mechanism delivers reliable blade security, while the fully configurable four-position pocket clip allows for versatile tip-up or tip-down, left- or right-handed carry.
Optimised for UK users, the Native Chief™ Lightweight CPM® 15V® Sprint Run® is the ultimate choice for those seeking a long, lightweight folding knife with superior blade performance, premium materials, and everyday practicality.
