Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web

C230 Lil' Native (compression lock)

"The iconic Native® has been a mainstay of Spyderco’s American-made product line for decades. Now all the highly evolved performance features of this incredibly popular design have been distilled into a compact gentlemen’s folder with a 2.5-inch blade. Its full-flat-ground CPM S30V stainless steel blade includes a prominent index-finger choil that flows seamlessly into the contours of the textured G-10 handle scales. The result is a compact, ergonomic package that still offers a full, four-fingered grip and excellent control. This version of the Lil’ Native goes a step further by adding our high-strength Compression Lock mechanism and a low-profile deep-pocket wire clip that is reversible for left or right-side tip-up carry."


The C230 Lil' Native in Spyderco's online catalog.

C230 Lil' Native Mid Back Lock

"The Lil’ Native Mid Back Lock takes the highly refined ergonomics of the best-selling Native® 5 and scales them down into an even handier, more compact package. In form, it is practically identical to its inspiration, but approximately 15 percent smaller overall. However, thanks to its ergonomic design and index-finger choil, it still provides a generous four-finger grip that allows it to perform with the authority of a full-sized knife.

This knife’s blade is precision machined from CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and is available with a choice of a PlainEdge™ or fully serrated SpyderEdge™. Full-flat ground for exceptional edge geometry, the matte-finished blade also features a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ that allows quick, positive, one-handed opening with either hand.

The blade is housed in a slim, linerless handle that includes textured G-10 scales, a stainless steel backspacer, and a broad-based four-position pocket clip with lanyard hole. Completely symmetrical in every way, this expression of the Lil’ Native design offers fully ambidextrous carry and operation and is ideal for both left and right-handed users."
