Product Description
The Native Chief™ Lightweight takes the time-tested form of our iconic Native® 5 Lightweight and stretches it by about one third to create a longer, even more capable cutting tool. This elite Sprint Run® expression elevates it to even higher levels of performance with a blade crafted from CPM® 15V®. The sophisticated alloy composition of this steel creates an exceptionally high volume of small, ultra-hard vanadium carbides. Optimized with a special heat-treating protocol created by custom knifemaker Shawn Houston, the result is a blade that offers breathtaking cutting performance and edge retention. This knife’s full-flat-ground blade takes full advantage of these properties and proudly features Shawn Houston’s “Triple B” logo laser engraved on the reverse side. It is housed in a brown injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle featuring a high-strength back lock mechanism and a fully configurable four-position pocket clip.
