Built to withstand the harshest environments, the Spyderco C244PGR Native Chief Lightweight Salt is a high-performance folding knife engineered for reliability in saltwater, humid, or corrosive conditions. Featuring a full-flat-ground LC200N stainless steel blade, this knife offers exceptional corrosion resistance and edge retention, making it ideal for EDC, marine use, fishing, or tactical applications.
Inspired by Spyderco’s highly regarded Native Chief platform, this Salt Series variant keeps the same slim, elongated profile and refined ergonomics—now in a lightweight green FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) handle that drastically reduces carry weight without sacrificing strength. The bi-directional texturing ensures a secure grip in wet or slippery conditions, and the back lock mechanism delivers reliable, ambidextrous lockup.
Whether you’re carrying in your pocket or clipped to gear using the reversible tip-up wire clip, the Native Chief Salt disappears until you need it—and then it performs with precision.
Twenty-one percent lighter than its G-10- handled counterpart, the Native Chief Lightweight features fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle scales and high-traction Bi-Directional Texturing. Those qualities made it an ideal candidate for inclusion in Spyderco’s remarkable Salt Series. This Native Chief Lightweight Salt showcases a full-flat-ground blade precision machined from ultra-corrosion-resistant LC200N steel, best known as NASA’s material of choice for ball bearings in spacecraft. Available in both PlainEdge and fully serrated SpyderEdge formats, the blade is paired with a linerless handle injection molded in the signature high-visibility green color of our LC200N lightweight Salt family. The vibrant handle also houses the knife’s sturdy back lock mechanism and includes four sets of threaded inserts to allow fully configurable mounting of a four-position pocket clip.
