- Native 5 Lightweight Sprint Run Brown FRN, Satin limited version of one of the best EDC folding knives. Blade made of the latest CPM 15V powder steel, with incredible sharpness. Handle made of lightweight FRN composite in brown color.

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 5 Lightweight Sprint Run Brown FRN, Satin is a limited edition of EDC knife excellence, exemplifying both design craftsmanship and advanced technology. The fifth generation of this legendary folder features a Handle made of FRN composite, valued for its exceptional strength and superior grip for increased control during use. The Sprint Run version in Earth Brown color is a collector's edition, equipped with a Blade made of CPM 15V tool steel, which provides extremely high abrasion resistance and excellent edge retention - features particularly desired by users working intensively with the knife. Designed by Sal Glesser - founder of the Spyderco brand - it combines functionality with aesthetics, making this model a reliable tool for everyday use.
CPM 15V - the most vanadium-containing 14.50% (V), wear-resistant stainless tool steel with 5.25% chromium (Cr), 3.40% carbon (C) and 1.30% molybdenum (Mo). Its high vanadium content (it contains 50% more hard vanadium carbides in its microstructure than CPM 10V) promotes the formation of hard vanadium carbides for strength and exceptional wear resistance, and increases corrosion resistance. This unique steel is designed for the production of high-grade blades requiring exceptional toughness and knife wedges where longer life is desired. Produced by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy / Crucible® Particle Metallurgy(CPM) method. The CPM process creates a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and toughness compared to steels produced by conventional methods.
Blade - Plain smooth blade brought out with a Full Flat Grind. Blade was subjected to a specialized heat treatment protocol which was developed by the well-known American knifemaker, Shawn Houston. The result is a blade that offers extreme sharpness and unparalleled edge durability. 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 - in brown color, reserved for knives made of CPM 15V steel. Made of lightweight FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) plastic, it featuresBi-Directional Texturing (Bi-Directional Texturing) grips for grip in all conditions (including greasy, wet hands). The grips are attached to a sturdy stainless steel spacer (known as a backspacer / handle grips connector), which ensures the strength of the design. The whole thing was fastened with torx screws for easy twisting and unfolding of the folder. Polished steel metal clip with 4-way clip positions (up/down, right/left). Enlarged cord hole in the back.
