Product Description
The Spyderco Lil' Native C230GPWC brings the cutting-focused geometry of a Wharncliffe blade to Spyderco's compact and highly capable Lil' Native platform. Designed for everyday carry, this USA-made folder combines a 2.47-inch CPM S30V blade with a textured black G-10 handle and Compression Lock.
The Wharncliffe-style blade features a full-flat grind, a straight cutting edge, and a gracefully curved spine that comes to a precise point. This geometry makes the Lil' Native particularly effective for controlled slicing and detailed cutting tasks.
The peel-ply-textured G-10 handle provides a secure grip, while nested stainless steel liners add strength and rigidity. Spyderco's Compression Lock provides strong blade retention and allows the knife to be closed one-handed without placing your fingers in the blade path.
A deep-pocket wire clip is reversible for left- or right-handed, tip-up carry.

Knife Depot Take
Our Take: The Lil' Native Wharncliffe packs a lot of cutting capability into a remarkably compact package. The Wharncliffe blade gives you a long, straight cutting edge and precise point, while the CPM S30V steel and Compression Lock make this a serious little EDC. At just 2.5 ounces, it's easy to carry without sacrificing the solid feel Spyderco is known for.

About brand
Quick! List the most respected and innovative knife companies you can think of. If you know anything about knives, Spyderco is somewhere near the top. Spyderco Inc. makes some of the most unique and downright bizarre knife designs you'll see on the market, but from the number of passionate fans discussing, debating, and learning everything they can about Spyderco knives, it's clear that the company has done something right.
From the Glesser Family and the Spyderco Crew:
Since starting Spyderco we've been told our knives are different, peculiar, even out there. All true. Thinking beyond established knife industry barriers allowed us to introduce new and radical innovations to the knife culture including: One-hand opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket.
We didn't go into business to rake in a mountain of dough we're here for more selfish reasons- indulging our passion for creating knives. Spyderco is definitely out of the norm in the knife industry in our dedication to researching and developing fresh, improved and better performing materials all with function and reliability being key.
Someone once said to Sal Glesser, Spyderco's owner, 'You must design in the dark because your knives look so strange.' True again. Our recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomic functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. We may look curious, homely, whatever, but we'll never be called unusable or undependable.
Making knives that consistently deliver reliable high-performance requires an ongoing commitment to testing. In our million-dollar testing facility we examine edge retention with a CATRA machine, look for rust development with Q-FOG, check the force needed to open and close a knife. We also repeatedly test for stress, wear, optimal heat-treating and actively search for higher quality, performance enhancing steels and materials.
As a customer you probably don't think about this, or much care, but it allows us to put forth a promise. When you purchase a Spyderco you are buying a high-quality reliable cutting tool designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort. Those Who Know Carry Spyderco.
