Spyderco Native 5 Lightweight Folding Knife

The Spyderco Native 5 Lightweight features a 3″ CPM S30V stainless spear point blade and FRN scales.

Since its original release in 1997, the Native has been a mainstay of the Spyderco product line and a flagship of the American-made stable of knives. The design has evolved steadily over the years, reaching its current state of the art with the release of the Native5.

Its full-flat grind, distal taper, textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp, and understated swedge collectively offer a distinctive appearance and outstanding edge geometry and point utility. The blade is supported by a highly refined back lock mechanism that takes this time-tested lock design and elevates it to a new standard of engineering and manufacturing excellence.

The liner-less FRN handle features Bi-Directional Texturing™ for an ultra-secure grip and reduces the overall weight of the knife to a scant 2.5 ounces. The handle also houses four sets of threaded inserts molded directly into the FRN. These allow the improved hourglass clip to be positioned for left or right-side tip-up or tip-down carry. A generously sized lanyard hole also provides a handy attachment point for lanyards, fobs, and safety lines.

A highly advanced evolution of a time-honored design, the Native5 Lightweight is an incredibly capable, pocket-sized cutting tool.
