Spyderco Native Chief Sprint Run Brown G10, Satin CPM 15V Folding Knife by Sal, Eric Glesser (C244GPBN15V)
The Spyderco Native Chief Sprint Run C244GPBN15V is a limited-edition version of a large folder from the Native family, featuring a blade made of Crucible CPM 15V steel and brown textured G10 grips. The design features a Back Lock mechanism, a distinctive hole in the blade for manual opening, and a four-position clip.
The 104 mm blade features a Clip Point profile, a full flat grind, and a satin finish. The Sprint Run variant is distinguished by a special CPM 15V heat treatment developed by Shawn Houston and the “Triple B” marking on the blade.
Crucible CPM 15V and Special Heat Treatment
The blade is made of Crucible CPM 15V steel, whose composition and microstructure are designed for extremely high wear resistance and long-lasting sharpness. This version features a special heat treatment protocol developed by Shawn Houston, as highlighted by the Triple B logo on the blade.
Clip Point, Full Flat, and Satin
The Clip Point profile provides a clearly defined tip and good control during precision work. The full flat grind reduces cutting resistance along the entire height of the blade, while the satin finish highlights its sleek, functional geometry.
Brown G10, Back Lock, and linerless construction
The handle is made of brown G10 with a peel-ply texture. The construction is linerless, which reduces the number of internal steel components while maintaining rigidity and a low weight. A steel backspacer completes the design.
Back Lock locks the blade in place when opened. Manual opening is performed via a hole in the blade, and a four-position steel clip allows you to configure the knife for right- or left-side carry, tip-up, or tip-down.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM 15V steel unique?
CPM 15V is a steel with a very high vanadium carbide content, designed for exceptionally high wear resistance and long-lasting sharpness. However, it requires appropriate abrasives when sharpening.
How do you sharpen a Spyderco Native Chief made of CPM 15V?
Due to CPM 15V’s very high resistance to abrasion, diamond sharpeners or other high-performance abrasives work best. It’s a good idea to refresh the edge regularly and avoid letting it become significantly dull.
What does “Sprint Run” mean at Spyderco?
Sprint Run refers to a limited production run with a restricted number of units. These versions often differ from standard models in terms of steel, handle material, or other components.
How does the Back Lock work?
Back Lock uses a spring-loaded locking mechanism located in the spine of the handle. When the knife is fully open, this mechanism locks the blade in the open position, and pressing it allows the knife to be folded.
How do you configure the clip on the Spyderco Native Chief?
The four-position clip allows for mounting on the right or left side of the Handle and in either a tip-up or tip-down configuration, letting you customize how you carry it to suit your preferences.
