The Native Chief takes the highly evolved, time-tested form of their iconic Native model and stretches it by about one third to create a longer, even more capable cutting tool. This elite Sprint Run expression of it takes the design to even higher levels of performance with a blade crafted from CPM 15V. The sophisticated alloy composition of this steel creates an exceptionally high volume of small, ultra-hard vanadium carbides. Optimized with a special heat-treating protocol created by custom knifemaker Shawn Houston, the result is a blade that offers breathtaking cutting performance and edge retention. This knife’s full-flat-ground blade takes full advantage of these properties and proudly features Shawn Houston’s Triple B logo laser engraved on the reverse side. It is housed in a linerless handle featuring brown peel-ply-textured G-10 scales, a high-strength back lock mechanism, a stainless steel backspacer, and a fully configurable four-position pocket clip.
