Spyderco Native Chief C244SYL Folding Knife
Detailed product description
The Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight Salt represents the top tier among knives designed for demanding conditions in extreme environments, especially near the sea and water. Thanks to the use of revolutionary CPM-MagnaCut steel and a specially corrosion-resistant construction, this model becomes an ideal partner for anglers, boaters, and professionals working in challenging wet conditions.
The lightweight and compact design with a practical yellow handle made of durable FRN and a Lockback mechanism allows safe and comfortable use even under intensive load.

Key parameters
Key benefits
- CPM-MagnaCut steel – a new generation powder steel with exceptional corrosion resistance, high hardness, and excellent edge retention.
- Serrated edge – excellent cutting performance on fibrous and coarse materials, ideal for outdoor and marine use.
- Lightweight and durable construction – the FRN handle is strong, lightweight, moisture-resistant, and easy to maintain.
- Lockback mechanism – a traditional, highly reliable system ensuring secure blade lockup during work.
- High-visibility yellow color – easy to locate in the field and in water.
Possible limitations
- The serrated edge is not suitable for precision cutting or everyday slicing with high accuracy.
- The Lockback mechanism is not as fast to operate as Compression Lock or Liner Lock.
Maintenance and care
- CPM-MagnaCut is specially designed for corrosion resistance, which significantly simplifies maintenance.
- After use, simply wipe the knife clean and, if needed, treat it with oil.
- Sharpening a serrated edge is more demanding and requires special tools or sharpeners intended for serrations.
- To maintain the edge, we recommend the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF – ideal also for plain edges. 🛒 Available on our website Moskito.cz.
