Spyderco’s black-bladed Native Lightweight has long been the go-to cutting tool for savvy tactical knife users. The fifth-generation Native 5 version of this design raises the bar even further, combining an ultra-lightweight fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle and a low-profile black finish, with the advanced engineering of the Native 5 platform.
The Spyderco Native 5 Lightweight Black Blade's full-flat-ground blade is machined from niobium-enriched CPM S30V powder metallurgy stainless steel and has a durable, non-reflective Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. It also includes an index-finger choil for a forward-positioned grip that allows enhanced control during detailed cutting tasks. A highly evolved back lock mechanism, one of the defining features of the Native 5 design, locks the blade securely in the open position and, along with the blade’s Trademark Round Hole, allows ambidextrous one-handed opening and closing of the knife.
The linerless injection-moulded FRN handle features a deep Bi-Directional Texturing pattern for maximum grip security and includes four sets of threaded stainless steel inserts to mount the reinforced hourglass clip for tip-up or tip-down carry on either side of the knife. Like the blade, this knife’s clip, clip screws, and all other metal hardware are also black coated, making it an ideal cutting tool for environments where light discipline is a concern.
