An unparalleled combination of affordability and performance, the Tenacious is the go-to choice of countless savvy knife users. This lightweight version raises the bar even further with injection-molded fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN) handle scales that reduce the knife's overall weight by almost 10 percent and offer the enhanced grip traction of Spyderco's signature Bi-Directional Texture pattern. All other features are consistent with the original model, including a full-flat-ground 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade, full skeletonized stainless steel liners, a four-position pocket clip, a sturdy LinerLock, and a choice of PlainEdge, CombinationEdge, or SpyderEdge blade configurations.
8Cr Stainless Steel
One of the most common budget stainless steels, it maintains a competitive combination of edge retention and toughness in its price range.
Zytel Handles
A nylon polymer that is lightweight and extremely durable, Zytel can be shaped and textured to provide excellent grip.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
I bought this as a gift for a friend who buys & abuses cheap knives. I sharpened his damaged *$%@" knives & gave him this so he might respect a superior blade. Time will tell but he hasn't brought this back for me to resharpen. Better living one knife at a time.
This is a very nice affordable Spyderco with the great folding action with the round thumb hole that seems to be their trademark. The liner lock works fine also. The overall feel and quality are just fine for this price class. This makes a nice EDC rotation knife. Have not tried to use it on heavy jobs but for light duty it works for me. If it were a notch better finish I would give it 5 stars, but it has slightly sharp edges on back side of knife and maybe would benefit from a deep carry clip, but not really problem issues. Maybe I just need more knives in this price range to compare it to. Handle material is pretty good actually. Good starter Spyderco!
