Features

  • An Improved Classic: The Native model has been a mainstay of Spyderco's product line for years as a result of it's Superior Quality and affordability. The state of the art Native 5 is available in an array of handle choices and colors.
  • Salt Series: The Salt Series tackles rust through the groundbreaking use of nitrogen-based blade steels like H-1 and LC200N. The result is a diverse selection of knives that are incredibly resistant to corrosion.
  • USA Made: Spyderco takes tremendous pride in every knife we make, but the ones crafted in our Golden, Colorado factory are special because we invest a piece of ourselves in every USA-Made knife we create.
  • Light and Durable: This Native 5 handle is fabricated with Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon. FRN is a polymer mixed with glass fiber that is injection molded and formed into a sleek textured handle, creating a lightweight yet high-strength knife handle.
  • One of a Kind: The handle proudly showcases the characteristic high-visibility yellow color of our Salt Series and our signature Bi-Directional Texture pattern that ensures a positive grip both in and out of the water.

Description

The Native Salt is a dynamic fusion of the best-selling Native 5 Lightweight platform and the extraordinary corrosion-resistant qualities of a nitrogen-based blade steel. The defining feature of this knife is its full-flat-ground LC200N blade, which is available with either a PlainEdge or SpyderEdge cutting edge and features an index-finger choil that allows the option of a forward, “choked up” grip for enhanced control. The blade is paired with a lightweight, injection-molded, fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle, a precision-machined high-strength back lock mechanism, and a broad-based four-position pocket clip that supports all possible carry options. Together these features, along with the blade’s fully accessible Round Hole, make both carry and operation of this remarkable knife completely ambidextrous. The handle proudly showcases the characteristic high-visibility yellow color of our Salt Series and our signature Bi-Directional Texture pattern that ensures a positive grip both in and out of the water. Spyderco is a business that provides state-of-the-art innovation and product quality while maintaining traditional values and service. Founded in 1976, Spyderco began with a vision to revolutionize cutting tools—and did just that.

  • Awesome knife - Love it but be advised that mine came in Magnacut steel - not LC200N.
Color: Yellow Item Shape: Native 5 Lightweight Salt - PlainEdge
This is an outstanding knife that actually comes in the magnificent Magnacut steel! I thought I was getting LC200N steel as the website description and picture reflect, but that is not the case. However, I really love Magnacut steel, and this is one of the only knives you can find on Amazon that has Magnacut steel. This is not a cheap knife, obviously, but it's a great one. Keep in mind that while LC200N may be a little better on corrosion resistance (not much really), the Magnacut is going to be a tougher knife that hold an incredible edge. I think Magnacut gives you the best of both worlds here in corrosion resistance and a hard-nosed workhorse razor sharp blade with much better edge retention than LC200N. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the Magnacut steel and couldn't be happier with this one! Highly, highly recommended!!! ... show more

  • Different color yellow... Still love it
Color: Yellow Item Shape: Native 5 Lightweight Salt - PlainEdge
I'm writing this review mainly to clarify what I had a hard time finding an answer to before buying. The Native 5 Salt is infact a different shade of yellow than the other knives in the salt series. It appears that way in the photos but there is no mention of it in any description so I wasn't sure if it was maybe just the lighting in the photo. After asking this question on Amazon and getting all incorrect answers, I contacted Spyderco directly and they confirmed the Native 5 Salt is "more of a sun yellow than a dayglo yellow" because it is made in Golden Colorado as apposed to Seki City Japan where the H1 salts are made. With all that said, I don't care about the slightly different shade of yellow, I love this knife. As a commercial diver I became a huge fan of the Salt series knives. Spending a lot of time underwater, salt and fresh, I can attest that the H1 WILL NOT rust no matter how much abuse and negligence you put it through. The H1 serrated holds an edge fine and will cut through thick rope like it was nothing but apparently the plain edge does not. I wanted a plain edge salt knife so I was excited to learn about LC200N steel and that by sacrificing a little bit of corrosion resistance you gain much superior edge retention. H1 serrated is my go to for diving and now LC200N is my go to for every day carry. The ergonomics of the handle and finger choil are fantastic which allow this to be a work horse of a knife in a relatively compact size. If I have a pocket the Native 5 Salt will be in it! ... show more

  • Great value for the cost
Color: Yellow Item Shape: Native 5 Lightweight Salt - PlainEdge
What can I say about this knife that hasn’t already been said? This thing has a rust proof lc200n blade in the iconic spyderco leaf shape with a highly visible Yellow FRN handle scales. I live in Florida and this thing has truly been hard to beat when you live in a water environment. It came out of the box crazy light saber sharp. I have large to xlarge hands and my manix 2 is perfect ergonomically but the native 5 salt is better. I highly recommend this knife. Even if you don’t live in a water environment this knife is a keeper. ... show more

  • Well made knife!
Color: Yellow Item Shape: Native 5 Lightweight Salt - PlainEdge
This knife is Amazing! It did come as CPM Magnacut. I'm not sure if that will be the case from every seller, (I bought mine from the BladHQ storefront here on Amazon) but I think they are phasing out the LCN 200 and replacing it with Magnacut. Honestly, either way, it would still be amazing. The pocket clip is the full metal clip and the handle looks and feels much better than the pics show. The backlock is incredible! This isn't really a fidgety knife, but it is almost indestructible. This was my first Spyderco, but it definitely won't be my last. ... show more

  • very well made (magnacut version)
Color: Yellow Item Shape: Native 5 Lightweight Salt - PlainEdge
This is my first spiderco somehow and ivd had quite a few expensive knifes, some made in usa some not. the finish on this knife is simply great. perfect edge, grind, assembly is top notch nothing moves, blade is centered, oiled, this thing despite the plastic handle smells high quality all around (yes, including the handle, actually). I bought it knowing this was likely magnacut (description on the listing is wrong) and i have zero regrets. The blade shape is great as well and the grip notches a big and deep, i.e. it grips extremely well. Ive been trying to think of a con but its hard.. maybe if you hate yellow? ... show more

  • Favorite folder I’ve found
Color: Yellow Item Shape: Native 5 Lightweight Salt - PlainEdge
Absolutely loved this knife. I purchased it years ago and was very pleasantly surprised when it came in MagnaCut (may have gotten lucky at the time of buying it). I used it daily for a few years and after forgetting it in my car one night it got stolen and I’ve never found another knife I enjoyed as much with its shape and grip for my clammy a** hands. I decided it was time to buy it again. If you’re looking for a smaller carry with the rust resistance I also highly recommend the dragonfly salt series, I’ve had that one for even longer and it disappears in the pocket of swim trunks for a day at the lake/ocean when you don’t want a full size folder in the pocket. If it was the neighborhood kids that stole it and you’re seeing this, be sure to take care of my baby and enjoy it as much as I have 😂 ... show more

  • love it!
Color: Yellow Item Shape: Native 5 Lightweight Salt - PlainEdge
Nice and sharp out of the box. REALLY light, which is what I was looking for. Easy to sharpen with the Spiderco Sharpmaker. Was worried the steel might be a little too hard for the Sharpmaker, but no problem at all. Couldn't be happier.

  • Dangerous to use and not worth the price.
Color: Yellow Item Shape: Native 5 Lightweight Salt - PlainEdge
I like this knife, but it is not a premium quality for the price. The handle is thick and I bought this knife sight unseen with the Lightweight handle to wear with shorts and summer weight fishing pants. It is light for a knife, but it's so thick it bulges out my pockets. Also, the back lock is just a terrible idea for any knife. You can't unlock it to put the knife away without putting your hand in front of the business side of the blade!! I haven't cut myself, yet, but it is a very careful two handed project getting this thing closed. Checkout a low end Benchmade knife if you are willing to spend this much on something made in America. They all offer one handed opening AND closing without losing any fingers. ... show more
