Performance? Buck-for-buck, this is the BEST knife out there!!! - I've had a passion for knives for many years, right or wrong. One would probably lament the amount of money and time I have devoted to such a strange hobby. If I was a reasonable man about knives and wanted to choose one (1) folding knife to serve as my EDC (every day carry), this would be that knife. Value? Buck for buck, no folding pocket knife will outperform and out-value (for lack of a better word) the performance and value of the Spyderco Tenacious. As the years have gone by, I simply continue to marvel at this knife's greatness. I have a folder that costs $250.00 right now on the open market, and most days I find the Spyderco Tenacious in my pocket. Why? The performance and value of this beast just blows my mind. This knife can actually outperform many knives that cost over $100.00!! It's slick, robust, smooth as butter, sharp as hell and easy to carry. The design of the blade is very useful and classic Spyderco while the handle is G10 and very ergonomic. Perhaps the best thing about it is the price. You can get this knife for $40-$45 right now. A few years ago, you could get it for as low as $37.00, but I think those days are gone. The steel is 8CR13MOV, which is a Chinese steel very similar to AUS-8. Is it the best steel on the market? No, but Spyderco's treatment of 8CR13MOV is very impressive. It holds its edge fairly well, and is VERY EASY to sharpen to a razor's edge. I have actually grown quite fond of this steel because it's so easy to sharpen. All you have to do is give about 5-10 strokes with a ceramic rod, and it's a razor blade again. I have also been pleasantly surprised at this steel's corrosive resistance, something I was somewhat concerned about. Now, you will have to provide some care to any knife's steel or corrosion will result, but some mineral oil or a wipe down with Tuff-Cloth will be all you need to do with this knife, as long as you keep it dry after use. After exposure to water, I would try to rub it down if possible, but I haven't always done that, and the knife is still holding up well. The liner lock is actually surprisingly strong. I have had many liner lock knives, and some I can just tell that the liner lock won't hold up to heavy usage, but with the Spyderco Tenacious, I have confidence in this lock. That doesn't mean I'm going to be stupid with it, but this lock should hold up pretty well as long as you are reasonably cautious. By contrast, I have been cut by the Kershaw Blur after the liner lock failed in that knife, not that I don't like the Blur, but the liner lock just isn't that secure, at least not as secure as the Tenacious. With any liner lock or any folder, one must always be cautious about lock failure. The ergonomics on this knife are very impressive. This knife fits my hand like a glove, and it holds up so well to heavy usage. I have bought knives like CRKT No Time Off and other heavy duty knives that are almost twice as expensive as the Tenacious, and the I always find myself going back to my Tenacious because it's so comfortable, strong and easy to use. Like I said, I have many knives, many folding knives and many Spydercos, but if I wanted to sell all of my knives and get my money back and keep one (1) knife that could do EDC and heavy duty tasks, the Spyderco Tenacious would be that knife, hands down!! Many people will tell you that the Tenacious is out of style and now there are better options like the Byrd Raven 2 or people will tell you that the Ontario RAT-1 is better, but I'm here to tell you that I have all those knives, and the Spyderco Tenacious is the knife that I trust the most of the bunch. Does that mean it's better than a Spyderco Manix 2 G10 with S30V? No, the Manix 2 has better steel and a stronger lock, but it costs about $60.00 more than the Tenacious, too. What I am saying is that the Spyderco Tenacious is a silky-smooth, robust, beast of a knife and is THE BEST VALUE for the money on the market today, and it's been that way for a long, long time! The Spyderco Tenacious gets my highest recommendation as an EDC folding knife. I love it!!! Overall score: 93/100. Review: Surprising Solid Knife that's ready to do what it needs to - I am a fan of tuff no frills knives. I want them to preform well and hold an edge. My favorite small, utility, EDC is the RAT3. My first version of this knife I purchase when the guys of E.S.E.E knives, formerly Rat Cutlery, formerly produced with Ontario Knife Company. I can not say enough about that knife. Tough and it holds an edge better than any other I have owned. I can filet fish, skin game, cut carpet, widdle wood, you name it, it can be done with this knife. So, I am particular. The RAT3 is made of 1095 carbon steel and comes in at 5.3 oz. Unfortunately, E.S.E.E does not make a folder for my EDC. So I started doing a little research on tough folders. I really wanted to go with an American Made Folder but I kept coming across really strong reviews for this knife and for the price...it was really worth considering. Never owned a Sypderco Knife, and it was between this one and the Paramilitary 2. But I noticed 2 things...the Paramilitary 2 is a little longer but a little lighter. The Tenacious comes in at 4.1 oz and the Para comes in at 3.75. For the durability I was looking for, I thought I needed a little weight. Now currently I am carrying a Buck Ghost Rider. It was a Buck/Strider colaboration and I really liked the look. But it did not perform as well as I thought. First time it hit the ground.....no more tip. Sent it back to Buck and they edged the weapon and have not had issue with it again, but the steel is not my favorite, or the finish. But over all, Ghostrider is really, really solid. The weight and the pummel are absolutly capable for hammering, shattering, and could easily be used to debilitate an attacker without drawing the blade. So I am a fan of that. But the Tenacious is more than I expected for the price. I will follow up in about 30-45 days after hard and regular use to see how it fairs. The shape and quality of the blade is worth 2 or 3 times what I paid. The G10 handle is not as dense as with the Ghostrider but is well made for $35 dollars. I am really suprised it is so inexpensive. The look is pleasing and it is very well balanced. I have fairly standard sized man hands, about 9 in. from tip of pinky to the tip of the thumb when expanded and it fits well when cutting. The ergonomics could not be better for the size/weight ratio of the blade and knife. My only concerns at this point are how well the G10 will hold up after some use and how simple it will be to change the position of the clip. Sometimes I find that when you remove the screws for the first time from a knife they don't fit quite right and I hope that's not the case. I want the knife to position blade up rather than down. If it fairs as well as I expect I will probably purchase a few for my sons as well as gifts. This is an excellent knife for EDC that will more than likely exceed my expectations for a $35 dollar folder. ## Features - Engineered for Endurance - Precision-crafted from 8Cr13MoV steel, this blade offers elite edge retention, high wear resistance, and excellent toughness, making it perfect for heavy-duty, daily cutting tasks. - Secure, Tactical Grip - Features durable peel-ply G-10 handle scales that deliver a confident, slip-resistant grip in wet or dry conditions, ideal for outdoor environments or hard-use applications. - Versatile Cutting Performance - Full-flat-ground satin-finished blade is available in PlainEdge or CombinationEdge, providing superior slicing efficiency and adaptability across a range of materials. - Reliable Locking Power - Designed with skeletonized stainless steel liners and a proven LinerLock mechanism that ensures a strong, secure lock-up and smooth one-handed operation under stress. - Customizable Carry Options - Equipped with a four-position pocket clip and open-back design, allowing fast, user-friendly maintenance and multiple carry configurations for maximum on-the-go convenience. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001EI7578 | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,072 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #7 in Folding Hunting Knives | | Blade Edge | Straight | | Blade Length | 3.4 inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | PlainEdge - G-10 Handle | | Blade Type | Non-Serrated | | Brand | Spyderco | | Brand Name | Spyderco | | Color | Black | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,719 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00716104008612, 00716104009336 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Fiberglass | | Included Components | Pocket Clip | | Item Length | 7.77 inches | | Item Shape | PlainEdge - G-10 Handle | | Item Type Name | Holster | | Item Weight | 0.12 g | | Manufacturer | Spyderco | | Model Name | C122GP | | Model Number | 8612 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 008612 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Camping | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 3.4" | | Special Feature | Lightweight | | Special Features | Lightweight | | Style | PlainEdge | | UPC | 885127580433 716104008612 885111346663 885111299730 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Spyderco - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** Fiberglass - **Included Components:** Pocket Clip - **Model Name:** C122GP - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Camping - **Special Feature:** Lightweight - **Style:** PlainEdge ## Images ![Tenacious Folding Pocket Knife, PlainEdge - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51cABEn3nRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Item Shape, Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I bough this for my dad...just got it and opened it...and I cant figure out to close it...help?** A: Tara - With the knife in the open position, hold the knife in your hand with the blade pointed to the left. On the handle is a semi-circular cutout on the handle near the blade. There is a silver piece of spring steel running through that semi-circle. If you push on that piece of steel, you will see that it pushes in. When you push that spring steel in, it releases the tension on the blade and allows you to fold the blade back into the handle. With your left hand, gently fold the knife blade down and it will allow you to close the knife. Be careful, Spyderco knives come from the factory with razor sharp blades and you can serious cut yourself if you are not careful. Hope that helps ! **Q: Should I get this knife or the Kershaw Cryo 2?** A: I am not really a "knife guy" so I don't have any knowledge of the Kershaw Cryo 2. All I can say is that I have owned this knife for about three years and really enjoy it. I have also purchased this knife as a gift on two separate occasions. **Q: What's the most economical way to sharpen this blade?** A: The absolute cheapest way would be to find a piece of plywood, an old mouse pad, and some rubber bands, then just buy some metal wet/dry sandpaper in several grits. I did this and it worked pretty well. Google "convex sharpening". Be advised that it rounds off the secondary bevel, so you kind of have to keep sharpening it this way once you go this route. **Q: I got my tenacious week and a half ago and the blade was dead on center when I got it but now it's way off any suggestions ?** A: Either you can ajust the pivot pin yourself or send it back to spyderco. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Value?
