Developed in collaboration with Crucible® Industries, CPM® SPY27® is an advanced stainless steel that builds on the foundation of Japanese VG-10 with the cutting-edge Crucible Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. This method enhances the steel's performance by reducing alloy segregation and achieving a fine, uniform microstructure. Known for its exceptional sharpness, edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, CPM® SPY27® is a standout material in the knife industry. The Native Chief Lightweight takes full advantage of this premium steel with its full-flat-ground blade, complemented by a striking cobalt-blue FRN handle that adds both style and durability.
