The Lil’ Native Mid Back Lock takes the trusted design of Spyderco’s Native and refines it into a compact, everyday-friendly form—now elevated in this Sprint Run edition with a high-performance twist. Its blade is crafted from CPM 15V, a steel known for extreme wear resistance thanks to a high vanadium content that forms a dense network of hard carbides. To get the most out of this advanced material, Spyderco uses a custom heat-treatment process developed by knifemaker Shawn Houston. True to the standard Lil’ Native Mid Back Lock design, this version includes a sturdy lockback mechanism, a four-position clip for versatile carry, and grippy brown peel-ply G-10 scales. Houston’s “Triple B” logo is laser-engraved on the blade as a nod to the steel’s performance pedigree. Compact yet tough, this special edition is built to deliver serious cutting power in a refined, pocketable size.
