Distilling the functionality of our iconic Native 5 into a smaller, more pocket-friendly package, the popular Lil’ Native is also sized to be legally compliant almost everywhere. Now this pocket powerhouse is available with Spyderco’s very own CPM SPY27 blade steel. Featuring an advanced alloy formula bolstered by the benefits of Crucible’s CPM particle metallurgy process, SPY27 offers a superior balance of corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention. The full-flat-ground 2.5-inch blade of the Lil’ Native capitalizes on all these properties to offer outstanding cutting performance and reliability. It is supported by stainless steel liners that form the foundation of the knife’s stout Compression Lock mechanism and its easy-to-clean open-backed construction. The liners are nested into peel-ply-textured G-10 scales boasting the signature cobalt-blue color of Spyderco’s SPY27 family of knives.
