View all the Spyderco Reveal 20 Models

The Spyderco Lil’ Native Lightweight (Model C230PPNBK) refines the classic Native design into an ultra-compact, feather-light everyday carry knife with premium materials and reliable performance. This version deploys a CTS-BD1N stainless steel blade with a black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and wear protection, paired with a sleek satin appearance on the uncoated edge. The slender, ergonomic pink FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) handle offers secure, textured grip despite its minimal footprint. A traditional Lockback mechanism provides secure blade lockup with a satisfying tactile feel, and the reversible wire pocket clip enables tip-up carry on either side. Designed in the USA and made in Spyderco’s Golden, Colorado facility, the Lil’ Native Lightweight blends precision engineering with portability and everyday practicality.
