It will cut!
Looks great! Nice green. Feels nice, too! The G10 handle is durable and provides a nice grip. Seems well built. Functions smoothly and perfectly.
Solid.
It has a really good handle and blade quality, and the locking mechanism is nice too. It's not insanely sharp, but it cuts through boxes like butter. The only complaint I have is the super stiff action, but it's already started to break in and get smoother. Overall it's a great buy, this is all you need for EDC.
Update: I've realized after more use that ergonomics are terrible…

on this knife, the action is absolutely great still, but the 8Cr13MoV steel is already dull. When I first got the knife, it would cut through paper and cardboard like butter. But a few boxes later, it doesn't have near the edge that it once did. I see now why people go for higher quality blades.
Fully serrated for serious work
That old guy in Cliff Hanger, you know the movie with Stallone, he carried a fully serrated Endura and it was used throughout the film. I can't afford an Endura, but this knife here scratches that itch. First off, it surprised me how large this knife was. The blade and handle look and feel great. The serrations are shaving sharp, the ball detent keeps the blade closed and there… read more is a nice snap when locking open. Nice, smooth action. Big enough blade for serious cutting, the serious edge for the same. I'm not rescuing stranded climbers, but this knife does everything I need it to so far.
Excellent EDC, good value
I like Spyderco quality and have owned 7 over the years - ranging from a zdp-189 Dragonfly to a Manix 2 XL and Military. The one thing I've never liked is the finger choil at the base of the blade. It will turn your 3.3" Manix 2 into a 2.9" blade, which is a shame because it's too short. I understand the reasons why the finger choil is there, it's just not something I ever use.… read more I always told myself if the Tenacious was ever offered in premium steel, I'd buy it simply because it's the perfect EDC length for my uses and has no finger choil. It's been in my pocket for several months now. It works great, holds an edge for a long time, and is very lightweight. No complaints. I only wish other Spydercos were in this price range - they are simply much more than I want to pay later.
One FINE EDC
I love to carry this one. It's great for everyday carry and stays sharp even when whittling hardwood. Think I might get another more expensive one next time just to see if it's better than this one.
Perfect
Fit and finish are perfect. The knife is really well made. Good price. I'm shamed to admit that it is a better made knife than some of my expensive Benchmade knives.
Better than expected
I figured I would like this knife, but between the steel, f&f and how comfortable and easy it is to use this has been pretty consistently kicking other knives out of my pocket. I've been waiting for this knife to come out for a long time (a tenacious in a premium steel) and it certainly did not disappoint. The only problem I had was that it needed taken apart and cleaned when I… read more received it to get a really smooth action, but that's pretty normal.
Winner
This is my first Spyderco manufactured in China and the quality control on mine is perfect. Really nothing that I can nit pick.
The Tenacious is a great edc knife. Size, weight, ergos and price are all spot on for me. The upgraded steel is what got me to finally buy one though.
Cheers
Amazing knife for the price.
This has been my first “real” pocketknife and I couldn’t be happier. Quality was better than expected, no complaints from shipping and great ergonomics. There is definitely a little learning curve opening it if your coming from a more traditional pocket knife. With that being said it’s not a problem it will be mussel memory in a couple weeks.
Great for EDC
The Tenacious lightweight is a great EDC blade. Reasonably priced, sharp out of the box, and a great grippy scale texture right out of the box. It arrived centered and had zero blade play out of the box. The 8cr steel is the only knock, Spyderco really needs to step up the steel in their budget line. This was my first purchase from DLT and it was great. Fast shipping, accurate tracking… read more and excellent packaging.
Another Great Spidey
Love this steel! Razor sharp out of the box. A little bigger than I normally carry but dang it’s a good knife!
Love it
This knife is absolutely amazing, its great to fidget with and is super sharp from the box. it has good strength and edge retention. Some people think spyderco knives are ugly but I think it looks amazing especially in all black. Its opening and closing are almost buttery smooth and great to fidget with. the grip is really grippy (pun not intended) and almost never slips. a complaint… read more is that the clip is a bit to tight and is hard to fit in some thicker jean waste bands, i guess it will loosen over time. 10/10 would recommend as a first knife.
I don't trust it.
The lock failed during a cookout while sharpening a stick for a hotdog. I was cut. Out of my 40+ knife collection, this is the only knife I've ever had fail like that. While the lock is engaged I can close this knife by lightly tapping it on the spine. I should return it but I'm not really interested in another one. I'll never trust this knife. It hangs in my barn and I only use… read more it to carefully open bags of pet food. I've tightened the action so much, it requires two hands to open. It's a sticky, gritty slip-joint to me. I love spyderco and own several other styles of their knives even some byrd styles and they are all great. This tenacious was very disappointing and not on par with the rest of the brand.
It's no Manix 2 Lightweight
Worst thing I ever did casually collecting knives was to sell my blue lightweight Manix 2 a few years back for way less than it was worth. Wanted to get back into a Spyderco for not much money, had a gift card so I took a chance on this China-made knife that, to me, had the same look as the Manix. I recommend to anybody looking to add a Spyderco to their collection to stick with… read more Golden-made pieces. The Manix 2 I had was exceptionally well made and was real fun to open and close and open and close and sometimes cut with. This knife barely locks up, rendering it dangerous. I reckon I'm going to return it. Direct your budget-knife money elsewhere.
Perfect knife for the price
First off the size is great and the feel in hand is amazing. plus is just looks fantastic, the only issue is the steel isnt amazing, mind you it will still do the job but it doesnt retain its sharpness quite as much as some of the more expensive knives but this is to be expected.
Great starter Spyderco
Clean knife. Easy to handle. Action could be smoother but I love the knife.
Solid Value Knife
This knife is a solid value folder series from Syderco. My first experience with the sydie hole made me fall in love. It feels pretty good to open and close one handed. Lots of fun to play with. The blade feels a tad too thick for my liking for an EDC. Overall a good intro to knives especially syderco, but left me wanting more.
It's a decent EDC.
Don't get me wrong, 3 stars isn't high but it's not a perfect knife. I've carried this for almost a month straight. It cuts well, but the steel isn't great, it dulls out fast.
The handle is not too grippy, I'd like a little more grippy handle for harder tasks, it's rather comfortable though. The clip is great for the price, and isn't flashy.
I wouldn't buy another because…

of the sharp spydie hole, and the extremely strong detent. When you try and open the knife it flies out because of the detent, I've dropped it tons of times, and cut myself before simply because it's too stiff at most times.
I paid 100$ for the knife because of shipping, taxes, and CAD is a lot different than USD, I'm not extremely happy with the purchase but it's honestly one of the best EDC's. As long as you don't get a bad one of the batch you'll love it.
Amazing customer service.
Knife arrived today and I am very pleased with it, however the thing that stuck with me is how nice the Bladehq customer team is. I called them twice, as I'm in Canada the delivery was maybe a month late and I thought the knife would never come however I called the department and everything was sorted out immediately and I will be buying here again for sure.
Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight
Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight Is One Fantastic EDC & Truly A Killer Value For The Price, I Have Owned Many Tenaciousness That Served Me Well Over The Years But This One By Far Is The Best, It's An Excellent Slicer, It's Now Lighter Than The Original & The New Bidirectional Scales Are Far Superior To The Original G-10 Scales, In My Opinion It's Spyderco's Best EDC At The $45.00…

Well
My tenacious was extremely stiff upon arrival I took it apart and cleaned and lubed it and it is still extremely stiff opening and closing. I wanted to love it I own two pm2s and two pm3s and a safe 5 and I wanted a beater for work. Very disappointed. I emailed Spyderco and they said to ship it back to them for inspection....which I thought was pretty poor customer service....but… read more damn I do love me some Spyderco
Perfect budget knife
very affordable. love the spyderedge. comes in handy and can tear apart serpentine belts, cut through radiator hose's like no other. the g10 is also a great touch. now just need it in a higher end steel.
Wow
I've never bought a Spyderco before, but my buddy lost his and I got him one for Christmas. Of course, I had to take it out of the package and mess with it first. This is an incredibly smooth and sturdy knife. I like it so much that I'm pretty sure I'm going to get one for myself.
Ultimate beater knife
The knife looks great, feels great in the hand, very sharp right out of the box. Everything is very tight, it doesn’t slide open very smoothly but I kinda like how tight and rigid it is. This is my edc not afraid to use it knowing it won’t break easily and if it does it was only $50 :) it’s one of my favs. Oh looks great too with the green handle.
Awesome budget Knife
I bought this knife with the Ladybug combo! Love them both! Great budget knife.
Great edc knife
My very first spyderco knife and I love it
Solid
It's a solid knife. Great price.
It's my first Spyderco knife, and it won't be my last.
Tenacious=perfection
Omg that spydey hole is just fantastic. Its also my first knife with G10 and I love that grippy feeling. Blade is amazing and the ergonomic too. Perfection all around.
Every day carry
I only had a Knife for a couple weeks and I love it .It is a good all around Working my knife fruits and vegetable knife and it belong to me.
Great first knife
I bought my wife a tenacious and dropped it in her purse without her knowledge. She always uses my knife... It’s time to have one handy.
This knife is big. It’s easy to dig and find in a purse. It has Spyderco quality, ergonomics, action, etc, but it’s a budget knife. It feels nicer than the price suggests it will. It is beg enough to handle all the tasks you need.…
read more
It has that sweet full flat grind.
In my opinion, this is one of the best starter knives out there. It’s affordable enough to gift to a novice and nice enough to make them appreciate all that carrying a knife brings to your day to day routine.
Awesome knife
You guy's always come thought my Addictions Knife and I love it alot great knife all around
Can’t go wrong
This is the knife that’s in my pocket more often then not. It’s like my Ford truck, it just works. I have to rework the straight edge every once in a while but those serrations stay nice and sharp!
This is the epitome of EDC it’s easy to open and close one handed. A great all around beater you don’t mind putting through some abuse. If it ever fails I’m going to…

buy another right away. Saving up for an American made Spidey but until then this is the most used of all my knives
Lots of blade play on mine.
I got this exact color and model and although I like the knife overall, I cannot get it to cease the blade play. Centering is off too. I love the size, fits well in hand, and is great other than the issues above.
Fantastic knife
This knife is fantastic! Built like a tank! Cant beat it for the money!
First Spyderco Knife
After a decade, I found one of my first knives that I bought - a Kershaw Junkyard Dog. Finding it was like reigniting my passion for knives and thus I got back into collecting. When researching for a new EDC I initially bypassed the Spydercos just because I didn't really like the aesthetics on it. But the more review videos I watched and the more pages I scrolled, Spydercos started…
read more
to grow on me.
I decided to give Spydercos a try so I wanted to start with a more budget friendly knife and my attention came across the Tenacious. When I got it, I immediately fell in love - the ergos, the G-10, even the blade! I know 8Cr13MoV is often knocked around a bit as not a great blade steel, but I've been using it as my EDC and it's been awesome! I haven't had any issues with it and this knife is definitely an EDC keeper for me and simple gift-idea for people I know who are contemplating on getting into the knife-life as well.
Tenacious
I have this one and the multi-cam as well. Love them both. Carry at least one at all times and while on duty as a LEO I keep one in my pocket and one in my vest just in case. Easy flip and keeps its edge. 10/10
Great for the price!
I really can not complain, it may not be the higher brand for spyderco but it has held up very well. Also very easy to sharpen and stays sharp unless I am really using hard. This knife Is my EDC and I never leave without it!
Spydie Flick
The good old budget spyderco
BUDGET
I bought this knife off a friend that collects spyderco knifes as my first spyderco knife and boy was I impressed with the durability a sub 60 dollar knife can do
Best budget knife
Best budget knife you can find. Spyderco is great. It was my first one and started the addiction fir spyderco. Must have for your collection.
Great EDC
This was the first spyderco I ever bought and it is what got me addicted. I still maintain that the majority of Spyderco knives are ugly but boy so they work! This knife handles whatever I throw at it and is really easy to sharpen. I carried this exclusively for almost 2 months and love the size, weight and cutting power it provides
Little Long for my taste
I love the action, feel, and look of Spyderco. This knife does them justice. My only complaint (personal preference so not hurting the rating) is it's blade is a bit long for my taste. The Persistence is a better size for me, that being said, the Tenacious deploys much easier with the added blade weight.
Seems good
A friend let's me use his, it cut well just not my cup of tea
My favorite knife I own to this day.
Overview:
Aesthetics - Great
Ergonomics - Good
Edge - Excellent
Traction - Excellent
Clip - Excellent
Lockup - Excellent
Blade centering - Good
Size - Perfect
Weight - Average
I've had this knife for a while now and its still my go-to, favorite knife. Its the perfect size for edc. The edge was razor sharp out of box, the side of my finger can vouch…
read more
for that. The blade shape is ideal for most cutting tasks. The clip is nice and strong. Its reversible and for left and right hand carry and for tip up or tip down carry. Its not deep carry but it still gets a pass. The construction oozes quality. And for under $50 its hard to beat. I really wish spyderco offered the tenacious in other steels than 8Cr13MoV. I know it would add to the price, but id be willing to pay it. I know they make other similar knives, but I like the liner lock, the size and that it doesn't have a finger choil. Unfortunately, all the knives I know of that spyderco makes with better steel is missing those features. That's not to say that 8Cr13MoV is bad, its just that it doesnt hold a razor edge very long and needs to be touched up frequently. Although its fairly easy to sharpen. Overall though, this knife is a perfect starter knife. If you are only going to own one pocket knife, this would be a good one. Its also good as a beater knife if you want something to use at work so you dont put unnecessary wear on more expensive knives.
Gateway Knife
This is the gateway knife to the Spyderco realm. This knife is hands down my favorite budget EDC knife out there, and after carrying this knife you will want to explore the entire Spyderco line. This is my go to recommendation for anyone looking to get into knives.
Great deal!
This knife is perfect for everyday carry. Its a good blade that keeps an edge and isnt hard to resharpen. For the price this is perfect.
Well worth the price
surprisingly good product for the country of origin.
my only complaint is the spyderhole wasnt deburred and left a circular slice on my thumb. easy enough to remedy with a stone or diamond file.
have fun.
-p
Best bang for buck
This knife has served me well for many years. It's a perfect size and shape for everyday use. Also the black coating is tough and still looks good. If you're looking for a hard working budget knife you won't be disappointed!
The gateway drug
If you're unsure about buying an expensive high end knife but you still want quality this is the knife for you. decent blade steel with smooth action. this is a fantastic all around knife. I bought one and liked it so much i asked myself "if this 50$ knife is this nice how good is the 150$ pm2?" and long story short I ended up with 6 spydercos in 2 months.
9 out of Tenacious
This Tenacious is a fantastic knife for daily use, at a great price. If you are like Ben then this knife may not be for you. It's a bit on the larger size, but the hand feel is great, and it being a Spyderco the aftermarket parts are really available for customization. It comes shaving sharp. The only real down side is the blade steel, but that's to be expected for a quality knife… read more in this price range.
GREAT KNIFE
I bought this for a friend for her birthday and I couldn't help playing with it a little before she got it. It came with a razorsharp edge and performed beautifully. Now my friend carries it every day and loves it
Great performance, not so pocket friendly.
This knife has a lot of good things going for it. I love the ergonomics and performance that this knife offers. Only problem is that I rarely carry it because it is so wide when closed that it doesn’t carry well when clipped on a pocket.
Must Have!!
Wonderful knife, my edc anywhere and everywhere... Except for when I went to Paris, they said that was a no no ;)
#lowkeywantthataxe
A awesome budget knife
I cared this knife for about a year and feel Ino love with it. It a great slicer that likes to go to work. If your looking at this knife you should definitely buy it you won't be disappointed
Pleasant surprise
I recently purchased this knife as a gift for a close friend. I carried it a month, as a test so I didn’t gift him a cheap knife. I was wrong to question Spyderco. This is hands down an excellent knife for the price point, and a great starting point for anyone new to knives. Steel ain’t great, but hey, IT’S 50 BUCKS.
Fantastic knife for the price.
It’s is an awesome budget friendly edc knife. I have carried it for 2 years now of and on. It’s normally the knife in my pocket.
Awesome knife for a gift
I got this knife for my son when he was about 8 years old. It's a great beginner's knife... Love it!. Great value. Ergonomics are awesome. Steel is not a "super steel", but it's easy to sharpen and takes a nice edge. Love the green color. I would buy again... and again.
Hooked on Spyderco
First Spyderco I've bought and I'm sold. Great quality for a budget knife, centering is perfect and action is better than expected. Definitely gonna be in the market for a more premium Spyderco in the future.
Awesome Budget Knife!
The quality your getting for the price is awesome! It feels great in the hand and I have had I for 2 years now. It’s really a great knife!
My first EDC Spyderco... And it's wonderful!
I grew up seeing my dad always having a Spyderco in his pocket or a Manbug on his keychain, but I was never a big fan of the weird circle in place of the normal thumb stud cause I just thought it looked silly. Then about a year ago, my coworker convinced me to finally get a Tenacious and I couldn't be happier. Once I learned how to really use the "Spydie hole," as my coworker called… read more it, it's true design brilliance was revealed to me. It's been my EDC ever since I got it (I'm so sorry, my old composite Leek), is still sharp to this day, and is a blast to open with the thumb hole. Another thing that really surprised me when I got mine, and especially after a few months of use, was the absolute rock-solid build quality. There's still no blade play whatsoever and I've never had any sort of hitch with the locking mechanism. This entry-level knife will most certainly not be my final Spyderco purchase; I can't really call myself a knife guy if I don't own a Para 2!
My first Spydie
Great starter knife can't go wrong
Favorite edc
By far one of my favorite blades for simple reasons. It works well. Very ergonomic handle and easy to put an edge on and holds the edge pretty well. Also the pocket clip has great tension. Good user knife.
What can I say? It’s a spyderco.
This is the second tenacious I have owned and I don’t have anything bad to say about them. It’s my edc and I love it
Do it
There isn't much to say. Its compact. Its sharp. It's built well. And its inexpensive. Honestly one of the best under $100 knives you can have. Just buy it.
Little disappointed
I received my spyderco tenacious and at first look I was in love! Then I noticed the blade centering was off.. No biggie though, sat down and started to try and get it centered and I worked at that thing off and on for hours and usually takes me a few minutes to get a Blade centered.The knife is currently better than it was but by no means perfect!.. Still gave the knife 3 stars… read more cause I'm thinking I may have just got a bad one, I don't know.. Still like the looks of the knife alot.
Great Quality Buy
I really didn’t like Byrd knives because I really dislike the deployment hole. I think Spyderco really knocked it out of the park when they started making value knives under the Spyderco name rather than under the Byrd brand name.
This knife is a great value knife! Need a beater knife but want something visually similar to other Spyderco knives? This knife has you covered.…

The Tenacious fits the medium size in this line of knives (it’s siblings being the Resilience, Persistence, and Ambitious).
Build quality: 4 stars
Materials: 3 stars
Aesthetics: 3 stars
Personal likability: 4 stars
My husband LOVES it!
I got this knife as a gift for my husband because he wouldn't stop talking about how much he desperately wants a spyderco. It certainly didn't disappoint!
Good value.
I have bought this as a gift for a friend and ended up getting another for myself. It’s an awesome knife for the money. Easy to use and carry.
EDC
I have had this knife for about 4 years now and it has gotten beat up. This is the knife i use when i am working and it's one of the most reliable knives i have ever owned.
AMAZING
I LOVE THIS KNIFE!!! My first Spyderco and it will not be my last. I have recommended this knife to everyone I know now! I was impressed with the quality for the money.
The budget EDC
Great size shape fell. Lockup is great steel is ok but its definitely the hook that gets you in to spyderco blades!
May be spiderco's "budget" knife but is some serious luxory
Oh my god do I 100% reccomend this knife.
Ive never spent this much on a knife before, I know its really not that much compared to other peoples standards but I am so happy I bought it.
It feels amazing in the hand, opens a bit tough at first but then gets real nice as you use it. Locks up great with absolubtly zero blade play.
This is some serious luxury ive…

never had in a knife in the past. Where has this thing been?
Buy it, love it, enjoy being impressed every day by it. Totally amazing.
Details:
Shapness is great, when I say hair shaving sharp I mean it. I hate it when people say it is and it isnt but this thing is fully capable of shaving hair. Just lightly stroke it against hair and its gone.
I got a coffee and decided to try cutting the card hand protectors that keep them from getting too hot, stood it up on its side and just pressed down slightly and it was one amazingly clean cut. So satisfying!
This is my pride and joy so I dont know about how long the sharpness lasts but it seems to be holding up really well, no signs of losing that out of box punch.
Awesome
This is such a good knife for what you pay it's easily comparable to your 80 or 100 dollar knives. I have two actually lol.
Great working knife
Great for not caring about how bad you beat this up. All black is excellent too
Good to go!
Outstanding knife for the price. Came very sharp out of the box, with a slightly sticky deployment, but became very smooth like all spyderco's typically are.
The steel is easy to maintain and sharpen, (8Cr13Mov), and does most tasks very well without damage to the knife/blade itself.
Awesome EDC/ light Outdoors knife
Sharp
I love Spyderco and I love this knife. This is one my biggest EDC knives, but I like it too much not to carry it. I've sold multiple buddies on this knife also once they see it. It has got the classic look with the opening hole and it comes super sharp out of the box. I haven't had any issues with it.
First Spyderco
This was the knife that introduced me to Spyderco. I was hesitant at first but wanted to see what the hype was all about. It was inexpensive but well worth the money. It’s a quality blade that has served me well. The fit and finish is top notch with smooth operation and I can truly say I wouldn’t change a thing. Do not hesitate to buy this knife.
Good Budget EDC Knife
If you want an EDC knife without breaking the bank this is a good choice. Even though it is made in China, it is a Spyderco and I trust their quality. The blade material is not the best out there, but for the price it is good. It sharpens with ease and holds an edge pretty decently. I love the feel of the G-10 handles, they fit in the hand well. I love the black finish on the blade… read more paired with the blacked out hardware and handle. I would recommend this knife to anyone that wants a good EDC or another knife for their collection. I love that a company like Spyderco will take the time to make a great budget EDC. It can be hard to find an EDC that is budget friendly and quality.
New favorite
This is my first spyderco, my wife got it for me as a gift for Christmas. I've been very impressed. I've had a few knives in this price range that all have quirks that made me quit carrying them, but after about a month of this one I can gladly say I have zero issues. A new favorite and great price from bladehq.
Best Budget Beater
I bought this excellent knife back in May and it hasn’t left my pocket since. I use it every day and even though I’ve purchased new knives since then, the Spyderco Tenacious is always in my pocket. I’ve put some hard use into it and i have only touched up the edge once or twice. Great knife.
Great value
The tenacious is perfect for an everyday carry or as a work knife. The blade holds a edge for a good amount of time and is very easy to put a razor edge on. It has a very smooth opening action and locks up very well. Only a slight amount of side to side blade play which is expected. The G10 provides a good amount of grip without being so sharp it destroys your pocket. Great purchase… read more for anyone who loves knives. I have much more expensive ZTs and Benchmades and still enjoy carrying this knife
The little engine that could
I use this knife all the time. It's my go to medium duty edc blade. It's easy to sharpen and it stays sharp.
Excellent knife
This knife came sharp, solid lock up and super smooth! It’s a little larger than my persistance but still a good size to carry in my pocket. Holding it feels so good in the hand it cuts like butter! I don’t think I’ve had a better knife for this price point
I bought this as a
I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. He absolutely loves it! May be getting a similar one for my father
INFECTED ANOTHER WITH THE KNIFE VIRUS
Bought this knife for my sister for her birthday, and she loves it. She said she wanted a good starter knife and this was the first that came to mind. She picked out the green/black combination and it looks great. As usual, Spyderco fit and finish is great, opens and closes easily, lockup is early and good and tight with no play and she really likes the texturing on the handles.… read more Sharp out of the box. I'll have to sharpen it for her when it needs it , but that's O.K.. I got another person interested in knives. Hope she doesn't stop here. I'll have to keep nurturing this. I'm kind of interested to see what she wants next. Thanks to Blade HQ for the great service. They got it to me in two days.
Perfect liner lock carry, perfect company
I daily a spyderco paramilitary 2, and my girlfriends little brother (15) collects knives but didn't have a good edc. I toyed with a few other options in the Kershaw and Ontario lineups, but ultimately decided to go with the spyderco. The knife was delivered in 3 days (way less time than the shipping predicted), and I put in the notes to write a birthday note for him. They did one… read more better and drew balloons and big block letters on the package. I'm extremely satisfied with the knife ( spyderco is always a good choice) and with the company. Needless to say I will be ordering everything I can from bladehq.
Spyderco Tenacious - Partially Serrated Black Blade
If you're looking for an EDC knife, look no further. This knife will slice your soul in two out the box. Knife is made in China yet it came centered and lockup is superb with zero vertical or horizontal movement (Which I cannot say the same about my $180 MADE in America knife...). Spyderco Tenacious is an excellent knife. Just get it.
Back in Black.
Best work knife I've ever had.
Awesome knife.
I got this one sale, and keep it in the car for whenever I need serious cutting power. Comes scary sharp out of the box.
Exceptional for the $
Is the steel the best? No. Is it made in China? Yes. That being said, I don't own a 45 dollar knife that even comes close to this knife. Quick deployment, solid lockup and very sharp out of box. The quality on this knife really is good. Even the affordable Spyderco knives are outstanding. They aren't "cheap." To me cheap means quality has been sacrificed. Nothing was sacrificed… read more with this knife. If you don't want to spend a lot of money but you want a quality knife, buy it. It shocked me at how good this knife is for the money.
A safe choice
Hey guys,
This is the very first pocket knife I've bought and carried.
I've since bought several, a Kershaw Shuffle, a Spyderco Ambitious, a Kershaw Cryo II, a Benchmade Triage, a CRKT GSD, etc.. And yet the one that is still in my back pocket on a daily basis is the Tenacious.
It is cheap, discreet, solid (dropped it blade opened several times). I don't know much…

about the blade steel but I'm not a hardcore user so anything sharper than a butter knife works for me.
For a 1st or 10th knife, I would recommend the Tenacious in a heartbeat as an inexpensive folder.
Cheers.
Spiderco Engraved Knife
My husband loved it!!! This was actually the second one I have purchased. He miss placed the first one but the knife is awesome & we received FAST shipping!
Great budget knife!
This is a great knife for the money! Holds up nicely and very easy to sharp with the 8cr13mov blade. Good g-10 grip as well. The black coating does wear a little. Expected for the cost!
Spyderco Tenacious - Black Serrated Blade
I purchased this knife in May of 2012 and it has been with me in my pocket every single day since I got it. This knife is perfect for EDC and well handle everything you throw at it. The 8 Cr 13 MoV steel holds its edge extremely well. The finish on the blade is not so much as worn down and still looks great (save for the residue from tape and other past tasks I've put it through).… read more The G10 handle feels great in hand and gives a robust, yet thin and accessible feel to the knife. The pocket clip is strong and holds the knife reliably in place without making it a chore to take out of your pocket. The shape and jimping give it a very positive retention in-hand. I am very hard on my EDC equipment and this is a great knife especially at the price.
