Which Salt features does Spyderco identify?
Spyderco places the Native Chief Lightweight in its corrosion-focused Salt series. The maker names a full-flat-ground MagnaCut blade, a precision-machined back lock and a high-visibility yellow FRN handle. Its linerless handle has Bi-Directional Texture, and threaded inserts support a four-position clip.
What separates C244PYL from neighboring listings?
C244PYL is the PlainEdge choice; C244SYL is the SpyderEdge option on the same maker page. LC200N versions are outside this MagnaCut record. The opened technical block supplies no dimensional values, so the length tool cannot place this knife in a numeric blade-length window.
What should I check before choosing?
C244PYL PlainEdge is distinct from C244SYL SpyderEdge and LC200N versions. Weight: not published by the maker.
