201,56 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Native Chief Lightweight Dark Blue FRN, Satin is an excellent example of the craftsmanship and precision with which Spyderco approaches the production of its knives. Inspired by the classic Native 5 model, this knife offers an approximately one-third longer blade made from CPM S110V steel . This material, combines outstanding wear resistance with excellent cutting edge retention, ensuring consistent performance even in the most demanding conditions. Handle made of lightweight and durable FRN composite in Dark Blue, providing a secure grip and high resistance to mechanical damage and weathering. The structure has been reinforced with a steel skeleton, which increases strength while keeping the weight low. The balance of the knife and the ergonomic profiling of the Handle allow for prolonged work without hand fatigue. Made in the United States, the Native Chief Lightweight is a product created for the most demanding users who value reliability, precision and modern design.
CPM S110V - a high-alloyed martensitic tool steel with a hardness of 58-61 HRC, manufactured using the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. The process begins with a homogeneous bath of molten high-alloy steel, which is pumped through a nozzle at high pressure with nitrogen gas to produce a stream of small spherical droplets that quickly solidify into powder particles. The small particle size creates micro ingots, drastically reducing alloy segregation in the steel and providing an extremely fine carbide microstructure when the powder is processed into finished steel. CPM S110V alloy contains a high 2.8% carbon content and a significant admixture of niobium, vanadium carbides and chromium. Thanks to its properties, it holds sharpness for a very long time and provides high corrosion resistance. This unique steel is produced at Crucible® Industries' steel mills .
Blade - Plain smooth blade brought out with Full Flat Grind. SpyderHole round cutout (Spyderco patent) for ambidextrous thumb opening. Refined, precision-machined Back-Lock Blade locking mechanism guarantees extremely smooth operation. The notched thumb rest (upper jimping) on the back of the blade and the Finger Choil (an undercut for the index finger between the Handle and the cutting edge) make it easier to control the knife.
Handle - profiled, covered with non-slip textured grips in Dark Blue, attributed to Blade with S110V, provides a comfortable and secure grip. Non-slipbi-directional textured covers(Bi-Directional Texturing) and notched notches on the back of the Handle(Spine Jimping) strengthen the grip even with wet hands. Made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), a fiberglass-reinforced nylon plastic. The covers are attached to a stainless steel spacer / connector for the Handle grips (backspacer), which provides strength and rigidity to the whole structure. Polished steel metal clip with four-way (up/down, right/left) 4-way clip positions. Enlarged cord hole in the back.
