Titanium Tenacious?
Certified Spyderco freak here. I've bought the Tenacious before, and gave it to one of my sons - the typical basic steel with brown FRN grip for under $50. Spydies made in China aren't the most collectible knives they make and $140 is quite a lot for a Chinese knife that has been in production for decades. Quality is good, but they're nothing special. So when I saw that Spyderco is making its iconic Tenacious with the original 8Cr steel in black with a striking Blue Titanium Frame, I had to get it. Great quality with a perfectly centered blade and black hardware to complement it, this one is a beauty. This knife objectively deserves a 5/5, but I had to take one point away for the high price. Even though Titanium is notoriously difficult to machine, I don't believe Spyderco priced this one to sell to just anyone. Only the most hard core Spydie fans (like me) would part with the money just to have it in their collection.
