The iconic Native has been a mainstay of Spyderco’s American-made product line for decades. The Lil’ Native distills all the highly evolved performance features of this time-tested design into a compact gentlemen’s folder with a legally friendly 2.5″ blade. Its full-flat-ground CPM S30V stainless steel blade includes a prominent index-finger choil that flows seamlessly into the contours of the peel-ply-textured G-10 handle scales. The result is a compact, ergonomic package that still offers a full, four-fingered grip and excellent control. This version of the Lil’ Native goes a step further by adding nested stainless steel liners and a high-strength Compression Lock mechanism. A low-profile deep-pocket wire clip completes the package, offering a choice of left or right-side tip-up carry. The Lil’ Native Compression Lock is available with a tumbled blade finish and a PlainEdge blade and in an all-black configuration featuring a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) blade coating, matching black-coated liners, clip, and hardware, and a choice of either a PlainEdge or fully serrated SpyderEdge blade.
