The Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight C244PBN15V uses CPM 15V with a heat-treat protocol by Shawn Houston, producing a high volume of tiny vanadium carbides for outstanding edge retention. It is not a stainless steel, so keep the blade clean and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs CPM 15V better than MagnaCut?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey excel at different things. CPM 15V, used on the Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight C244PBN15V, offers far greater edge retention and wear resistance, while CPM MagnaCut is much more corrosion resistant and easier to sharpen. Choose 15V for maximum cutting life between sharpenings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the blade length of the Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight C244PBN15V?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spyderco Native Chief Lightweight C244PBN15V has a 4.02\" CPM 15V blade with a 3.52\" cutting edge.
