Spyderco Native Lightweight Plain Edge Knife, Black
The Spyderco Native compact folding knife is engineered for the human hand with an ergonomic design that maximizes cutting ability while minimizing discomfort and fatigue. The knife features a hollow-ground, plain-edge, drop-point blade of premium CPM-S30V stainless steel for superior edge retention and strength. The drop-point shape of the blade enables precise puncture cuts and clean slicing. A swedge ground from the spine reduces weight while a section of non-sharpened serrations line the blade's spine yield an additional slip resistant point for the thumb.
Specifically developed to combine performance and comfort, Spyderco designers paid close attention to the knife the handle when creating the Native. The knife handle is made of strong and lightweight injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN). Two separate finger choils are built in for maximum versatility during use--the first choil (where the blade and handle meet) allows the index finger to be positioned closer to the edge for precise, controlled cutting--the second choil positions the hand farther back for increased power and comfort. Meanwhile, Bi-Directional Texturing molded into the FRN handle creates a multi-level texture for a positive grip. Carved out of the back lock mechanism is a David Boyle Dent that insures the lock will remain safely engaged even when gripping the handle forcefully. Finally, a black steel pocket clip offers tip-up carry and can be reversed for left or right-side carry via a barrel-shaped screw that doubles as a lanyard hole.
| Back Lock Mechanism | ||||||
 | ||||||
| Positioned on the spine of the handle, the back lock uses a rocker arm which pivots in the center. A protrusion on one end of the arm connects with a notch on the blade�s tang locking the blade open. | ||||||

| A patented texture pattern is molded into the FRN handle with forward and backward graduating steps radiating outward from the center of the handle to provide slip resistance. | ||||||
