A scaled-down expression of our revered Native® model, the Lil’ Native Mid Back Lock proudly delivers all the same features and benefits in a gentleman’s folder format. This elite Sprint Run edition elevates the design even further with a full-flat-ground blade made from CPM 15V. Containing almost 15 percent vanadium, its remarkable alloy composition produces an exceptionally high volume of ultra-hard vanadium carbides and gives it the highest wear resistance of any cold-work tool steel available today. To successfully translate these properties to knife blades, Spyderco’s CPM 15V knives are also hardened and tempered using a specialized protocol developed by custom knifemaker Shawn Houston. This limited-edition expression of the Lil’ Native faithfully includes the stout back lock and broad-based four-position pocket clip of the standard model. It also features brown peel-ply-textured G-10 handle scales and Shawn Houston’s “Triple B” logo laser engraved on the reverse side of the blade.
