Spyderco Native Chief Cobalt Blue G10, Satin CPM SPY27 by Sal Glesser knife (C244GPCBL)

Native Chief Cobalt Blue G10, Satin offers all the refined and proven features of the iconic Native 5 knife, plus an approximately one-third longer, more efficient and extremely slim CPM SPY27 powder steel blade. Manufactured at Spyderco's factory in the USA (Golden, Colorado). A display of the craftsmanship of father and son Sal and Eric Glesser!

CPM SPY27 - a proprietary blend of alloys, including vanadium, molybdenum, niobium, nitrogen and cobalt. The high-alloy stainless steel contains 1.4% carbon and a 1% admixture of niobium (Nb), one of the best carbides, which contributes to the steel's wear resistance. Thanks to its properties, the steel holds sharpness for a very long time and guarantees aggressive cuts for a long time. It is easy to sharpen, corrosion resistant and contains a high admixture of 14% chromium. It provides good strength and cutting edge retention, as well as a fine-grained structure. Produced by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy / Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) method. The CPM process creates a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and toughness compared to steels produced by conventional methods.

Blade - Plain smooth blade brought out with a Full Flat Grind. Enlarged 14 mm round SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) for ambidextrous thumb opening. Refined, precision-machined Back-Lock Blade locking mechanism guarantees extremely smooth operation. The notched thumb rest (upper jimping) on the back of the blade and the Finger Choil (an undercut for the index finger between the Handle and the cutting edge) make it easier to control the knife.

Handle - profiled, covered with non-slip textured grips in Cobalt Blue, attributed to the Blade with SPY27, provides a comfortable and secure grip. Made of durable, heat- and cold-resistant, chemical-resistant G10 plastic. The grips are attached to a sturdy spacer (the so-called backspacer / handle grips connector) made of stainless steel, which ensures the strength of the construction. The whole thing was fastened with torx screws for easy twisting and unfolding of the folder. Polished steel metal clip with 4-way clip positions (up/down, right/left). Enlarged cord hole in the back.
