Spyderco Lil’ Native Slipit Black

• Slipjoint Folder
• CPM-S-30V

Unlocked

With the Lil’ Native Slipit, Spyderco have added another very compact variant to their in-house classic. The Lil’Native Slipit is more or less the German-Legal version of this small EDC folder.

While the Lil’Native was previously equipped with either a compression lock or a backlock, the Slipjoint version is now integrated into the incredibly popular Slipit series, which you surely know through knives like the UKPK or the Urban. The difference is that the Lil’Native Slipit continues to be built with the self-supporting G10 handle scales, rather than FRN scales like most other models in this series. Due to the strong back spring and a slight notch on the blade tang, the blade is held securely in the open position despite the lack of a lock. In addition, thanks to Spyderco’s signature choil, you can place your index finger so that the blade doesn’t accidentally flip onto your fingers.

Just like its sister models, this Lil’Native has the Leaveshape blade with the tip on the center axis of the handle. The fully raised flat grind and the very edge-holding CPM S30V steel ensure the best cutting properties despite the short blade length, so you can do most things in everyday life with this knife. Don’t let the name and small dimensions of the Lil’Native Slipit mislead you: this little rattle has it all. It’s not just the compliant design that makes this knife so interesting. The low weight, the slim design let this everyday companion disappear inconspicuously in your pocket.
