The Spyderco Native 5 CPM 15V is a premium Sprint Run edition that delivers exceptional cutting performance, durability, and collector-worthy craftsmanship. At the heart of this knife is a 2.95-inch blade crafted from CPM 15V, an advanced tool steel engineered for maximum wear resistance. With nearly 15 percent vanadium content, CPM 15V forms an extremely high volume of vanadium carbides in its microstructure, resulting in extraordinary edge retention and long-lasting cutting power.
To unlock the full potential of this elite steel, Spyderco collaborated with renowned custom knifemaker Shawn Houston, applying his specialized Triple B heat-treating protocol for optimal hardness and performance. As a mark of authenticity, the reverse side of the blade is laser-engraved with Houston's signature Triple B logo, signifying its place in Spyderco’s distinguished CPM 15V family.
Designed for both everyday carry and serious use, the Native 5 features a high-strength back lock mechanism, ambidextrous operation, and a four-position pocket clip for versatile carry options. The handle is constructed from brown peel-ply-textured G-10 scales, offering enhanced grip, toughness, and a striking appearance.
This limited-edition Native 5 represents the perfect balance of advanced metallurgy, ergonomic design, and refined craftsmanship, making it a standout in any collection or everyday carry rotation.
