Anyone else have a problem with deploying the blade? It only seems to be smooth after I use dry lube on it. Eventually it gets rough again? defect in the knife? It also has a little squeak when opening it. my only 2 gripes about the knife.
I first got turned onto the tenacious by this vid and since then I've only heard good things about the tenacious. It took me a couple years before I actually bought one, but this knife is awesome! The review says it all, but just adding my 2 cents, for the money you cant go wrong with the tenacious. It feels like it should cost twice what I paid. I'd recommend it to anyone. Thanks for the vid Nutn, as always you do awesome work in TNP
Awesome knife!! picked up the black blade for $34... Love it! feels made for my hand...opens in a snap! NEW EDC!!! I will buy another in the future...I would like a Manix2 also, but at 2 to 1, I can pay to have a second sharpened tenacious in the drawer, and the action is not sticky at all! Thanks Nutnfancy, I SEE why you rave on the Tenacious, I love mine too!
Where would you rate this compared to the Delica 4? I am looking at both. The difference is about $27. Go for the Delica or get the Tenacious and put the extra cash towards other gear?
Hey nutn, if you didn't already know, Spyderco now has a blackened tenacious in their lineup. I believe you'd agree with me resists rust a little bit better and decreases the high-profile look (especially on the pocket clip) which would be good for situations where it's needed; such as being clipped on the pocket of a soldier. It'd be cool if you bought one and made a quick kinda show-off video for it since you already have a full-blown tenacious review. Although I wouldn't mind another one ;)
You're right about the appearance of the blade and thumbhole turning some guys off to Spyderco, the biggest reason I haven't pulled the trigger on one yet is the appearance. I watched some of your reviews of them now to try to be as unbiased as I can and I must say, I'm coming over to the dark side and liking their appearance now, I may have to pick one up. Thanks for changing my mind!
@ianarno i was the same as you when i first saw spyderco's. i started watchin more reviews on em and finally bought one. now im screwed im so addicted to spyderco lol. so once u buy one get ready to open ur wallet up for more haha. their great knives tho
One downside on tenacious is the closed locking nub, it does start to drag after repeated openings and closings, they should make the nub a little larger to reduce the pressure causing the drag. Love this knife for EDC but does not gut fish well, akward in the hand in the reverse orientation.
@HonestKnifeReviews honestly, I dont eveb know what a triad lock is. I am quite partial to lock backs so i think im going to try the ka-bar zombie killer tanto. I know its bright green but if its in my pocket what does it matter?
i like my spyderco tenacious also very much but when I Open or Close the Knife it squiks, I oiled it Many Times but it squiks again. I also take it apart and cleand it but it squiks again! Can somabody help me
I ordered a Tenacious and a Manix 2. I'm waiting on them now. They will be my first spydercos. I'm a novice to knives, but I'm looking foward to learning more about quality blades like Spyderco. Can't wait till they get her! Thanx for you're in depth reviews.
I bought this knife and at first was not impressed. It has a lot of cool features that I like, but I thought the knife was bulky compared to my beloved Delica 4. But after carrying it for 5 weeks now, I can't live without it and it has replaced my Delica. Thanks for a good reliable review Nutn
When I received my first tenacious I opened it, and 5 minutes later ordered a second. I figured 1 for the left and 1 for the right. The knife also came pocket clip knife point down and I wanted to reverse it. Long story short the hex of the top screw on the pocket clip of both knives stripped out. Im lucky to work in one of the largest machine shops in the world so it was an easy fix with a grinder, drill, and some better machine screws. Still frustrating.
@MegaBillmann Hey Mega. I had to grind the head off of the top screw then drill out the remainder of it. I didnt have drill it but I thought Id clear the thread in case I ever wanted to put the clip back. I used a pencil grinder with a carbide bit to avoid grinding anything else on the knife. Then I got some screws of the same size, cut them to length, and screwed the clip back on. Probably other more home remody ways to do it but hey if you got the tools, use 'em.
Hey i just got the tenacious and i was wondering what other spyderco knives that are good to add to the collection that dont break the bank or if there are other brands
Love this knife. I've had it for a few months. Definitely a great EDC.
This knife scares me though because of the blade retention. It sucks pretty bad. And gets worse as you get a bigger blade (resilience). I've almost slit my hand reaching into my pocket. Thus I don't carry it much.
The 8cr13mov is also very susceptible to micro-chipping.
what folder knife would you recommend for outdoor use want something to fit in my pocket put has a nice blade i will like it serrated (think i missed spelled)i got smaller hands i will lime to be spyderco-cole
@pandurate No man its cool, I got the Tenacious friday evening and I beat the shit out of it all over the yard, house, etc. I'm a mechanic and need a decent blade for edc. I was using a Condore Bushlore mini just for EDC now the Tenacious is on my belt.
I think the steel is pretty good I have a habit of testing blade steels thru various methods one of which is to tap the edge on the top of my beer can. It dented the can and left almost nothing on the blade. Im loving it! I may do some videos to
@MarcoMontana22 I find some popular steels IE: Sandvick , 1095 Carbon tapping on the soft aluminum can rim will actually dent the blade. This to me is pretty lame... Although I love my Moras and carry 2 in my pack Companion Stainless,Companion Carbon. I know if I drop them on a rock they will need re sharpening and bur reprofiling.
I needed a quality well made blade that could withstand MAN usage, stripping wires, cutting boxes, prying apart plastic relays, removing sheathing from 2 awg cables
if you open the blade when the video starts then you will get more views its boring when you sit and talk about the every little speck on the thumb stud, im not trying to be rude im trying to give you advise...
@GraysonKeever cutleryshoppe has it for $29. That's what I paid for mine when I bought it there. They're great to deal with too, see my Tenacious review for more on them. Hope that helps!
just ordered mine today nutn i am a big benchmade fan especially there mini griptillian knives but after seeing this review and seeing the price i fell in love with it so i had to order one ,im still a benchmade fan but gonna have to start adding some spydercos to my collection now as well thanks for another awesome video.
i got a tenacious a few weeks ago and it has been lightly used and there is some left to right play on the blade i tried tightening the pivot screw but it doesn't help. any help? thanks nutnfancy i love your videos!!!!
I know u have a pension for well made kit so it might behoove u to take a look at the Onterio RAT model one folder. Great knife IMHO and another great deal at about the same price as the tenacious (which BTW, I was on the fence about buying, but am glad to say i have just puchased due to your review on it.). Thanks for all your infomative reviews. Veri just cuz your not in the spot light doesn't mean your work isn't appreciated so thank you as well.
Awesome video man, it really convinced me to finally get the Tenacious. Just got mine today although it was quite hard finding one here in Sweden. This will be my first knive from Spyderco, let's see how it holds up.
only problem i had with this knife is the clip came lose and lost a nut only with 4-5 days of carrying. and the blade rusts alittle but, every metal does if you dont take care of it.
are the bear ops knives any good because you dont hear anything about them they seem good on paper prety cheap made in the usa. but all hear about is kersha and bench made.
i just ordered mine. either that or a kershaw mini cyclone, or rat 1 i dig the drop point for defense. i had a S&W ck70 cheapy that i had to use as a weapon. tenacious seems to be a good replacement
I had this knife for 6 days and it started to rust around the hole. I contacted spyderco and they basically said that it was normal. I sent it back and brought my Buck Vantage out of retirement. I am a Canadian but I prefer my Americian made Buck that still slices like a light saber than a hyped up cheap knife. This was my first spydie and I have to say I am not impressed.
@jtbca that's extremely rare. how much rust was there? if it was just small spots that could be residue left over from the machines used to make the blade. the residue can rust easily and comes off with some use or polishing. Also if you put it in saltwater or live in an extremely humid area it could rust. My delica 4 is nothing short of perfect after 2 months of good use
@eers2ya give me the extra 20-30 bucks it takes to buy a 100% USA made knife and I will. I fully understand and respect where you're coming from about supporting US companies, but I'm just too broke to do it right now. Also, I have a Tenacious and I love it, it's been great for me. Just because it's made overseas doesn't inherently mean it's bad either, as evidenced by the quality of the Tenacious and other knives like it.
Nutnfancy i need you opinion, I'm looking for a knife of this size. Its available in our country and i like the design a lot. But the problem is it sells for 69 USD here. Benchmade is also widely available here, and i'm looking at the 551 griptilian or the 850 which has roughly the same spec but with a better steel. And it cost 103 USD which is a fair price compared to US prices unlike the tenacious Which would you choose if your in my dilemma. Thanks - kelvin
Hey nutn I went on a big of a knife binge this week and bought three blades for my birthday, I bought a buck vantage pro a skyline and a cara cara, Im trying to buy my last one to round out my collection. Do you think the Tenacious or the Ontario Rat 1 is a better knife being that they are approximately the same price?
I just got this (and it's my first Spyderco knife) from Cutlery Shoppe. May I say WOW. What a cool knife. You can't beat the price for what you get. Thanks Nutn!
Dude how can some people bitch about Nutn being a hypocrite when he is posting a bunch if helpful reviews. And they go on about how he lies about his gear he reviews. Why the hell will a person in his lower 40's lie about stuff like that. I can't believe some of the bullshit that I see on YouTube. Seriously guys. Really?
i have been looking everywhere and cant find anything about sharpening a full flat grind can anyone help? is it like a scandi but just the whole blade?
@MrNutnAddict no problem. :) btw I'm loving the name haha it totally describes me as well... so much time spent on this computer watching Fancy and so much money spent on knives and gear b/c of this guy haha but I have never been disappointed.
Which lock would be stronger over everyday use? The liner lock on the tenacious or the lockback on the endura 4. I am trying to decide between the two. Please answer Nutn.
@MrNutnAddict Stronger: Endura's lockback. But for everyday use both locks will do great. I think the endura makes for a little bit of a nicer knife. It has a nicer feel in hand and the materials are significantly better. But if it's something that might get beat up a little I would stick with the Tenacious... it's a tough little guy that you won't feel too bad about getting a little beat up b/c of the price.
I was looking at cold steel tantos but after this review I realized I will get more use out of a good folder. This knife is less than $33.00 on amazon with free shipping. Can't go wrong.
Hey Nutn: just want to say I bought a tenacious last week and I love it! It's a great knife, especially for the money (I got mine for $29 from Cutlery shoppe!). Mine also cut me last night on my left middle finger. Had the blade in my left hand, reached across with that finger to hit the liner lock and then pushed on the back of the blade to close it without moving my finger and closed it right on my middle finger. Definitely proved the sharpness to me. Thanks again for the recommendation!
So... I am relatively broke so i can't buy many knives... Grabbed the spyderco Tenacious for edc/tactical combo knife... I carry every day and use during my work for many cutting tasks. Its been about 3 months now with almost everyday use of the blade. I started to notice some signs of rusting and lubed the blade with some special tool lubricant i have and it disappeared immediately. Blade is wearing fine, no complaints and still has a razor sharp edge!!! thx nutn for the recommendation.
My jaw dropped when I realized how affordable this blade and it's siblings are. The value is amazing and I'm in love with the cleaver-esque FFG blade. I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of my Tenacious and Persistence from the cutlery shoppe. Thanks for working out the shipping discount, Nutn!
Greal Blade!! Got mine in the mail today thanks to Cuttlery Shoppe and your NUTNFANCY promo code... Keep up the blade vids they help us out a lot. Thanks man
I have to say, First impressions, I don`t go much on Spyderco`s design of drilling a hole straight through the blade, It`s a clever idea, Simple and cheap to do, Saves weight and is obviously no problem for left handed use, But somehow, It`s not for me, Also, I don`t think you can say that because it`s made in China, That`s nothing to worry about, Have you seen their attempts at producing a motorcycle?
@ericsyutubeaccount That`s a fair point, Lots of companies round the world, Do shift production to the far East too save on labour cost etc.. But it has to be done right, Even so, There`s a rumour that quality control is not the same in all countries even with same same company and model, For example, There`s reviews that say Honda motorcycles are not as good from the Italian and Brazil factories as those in Japan, Still, I suppose a product like a knife should be no problem for them
Just FYI nutn, I and a lot of other people care whether or not a blade is made in China. I totally agree with what your saying about quality control, etc. My issue isn't with quality, though. I simply like to know that the blade I'm carrying is U.S.-made. It's not going to keep me from buying a Spyderco or other foreign-made knife, but from a sort of quasi-ethical standpoint, I prefer blades(and pretty much everything else) made in the U.S. Just thought I'd throw that out there. And thanks for
I bought this knife on Amazon. Those retards charged me for one and shipped me two! Their loss, my gain! So far, I love it. Took me a while to get used to the goofy thumb hole (I prefer studs, discs, buttons and flippers). The jimping is amazing. I may however be sizing down to the Ambitious for edc use. Other than that, no complaints.
i have lubed it with eezox. Still pretty hard to flip, i can do it sometimes. One thing i notice is, the screw for adjusting tension is cant be turned. It must have loctite
I love that knife :) mine is wave customed but the only thing im curious about is when i deploy it fast or the flick open i get nail scratches is that normal or im doing it wrong?
grreat review of the Tenacious! just picked one up from Amazon, LOVE IT! I agree with all your points, especially the price point, you cant beat it, i picked mine up for $32! again great review
Just ordered mine 5 minutes ago. Got the all black one with the black clip. First knife Ive ever bought :)

Which would recommend the tenacious or the Ontario RAT 1
johnmcshane100 6 months ago
I know u have a pension for well made kit so it might behoove u to take a look at the Onterio RAT model one folder. Great knife IMHO and another great deal at about the same price as the tenacious (which BTW, I was on the fence about buying, but am glad to say i have just puchased due to your review on it.). Thanks for all your infomative reviews. Veri just cuz your not in the spot light doesn't mean your work isn't appreciated so thank you as well.

Awesome video man, it really convinced me to finally get the Tenacious. Just got mine today although it was quite hard finding one here in Sweden. This will be my first knive from Spyderco, let's see how it holds up.

are the bear ops knives any good because you dont hear anything about them they seem good on paper prety cheap made in the usa. but all hear about is kersha and bench made.

i just ordered mine. either that or a kershaw mini cyclone, or rat 1 i dig the drop point for defense. i had a S&W ck70 cheapy that i had to use as a weapon. tenacious seems to be a good replacement

I had this knife for 6 days and it started to rust around the hole. I contacted spyderco and they basically said that it was normal. I sent it back and brought my Buck Vantage out of retirement. I am a Canadian but I prefer my Americian made Buck that still slices like a light saber than a hyped up cheap knife. This was my first spydie and I have to say I am not impressed.
jtbca 7 months ago
@jtbca that's extremely rare. how much rust was there? if it was just small spots that could be residue left over from the machines used to make the blade. the residue can rust easily and comes off with some use or polishing. Also if you put it in saltwater or live in an extremely humid area it could rust. My delica 4 is nothing short of perfect after 2 months of good use

@eers2ya give me the extra 20-30 bucks it takes to buy a 100% USA made knife and I will. I fully understand and respect where you're coming from about supporting US companies, but I'm just too broke to do it right now. Also, I have a Tenacious and I love it, it's been great for me. Just because it's made overseas doesn't inherently mean it's bad either, as evidenced by the quality of the Tenacious and other knives like it.

Hey nutnfancy I can get Tenacious for 50$ or Delica Flat Grind for 100$ in my country. Would do You think will be better to spend this much money on?
Elementpunx 8 months ago
Nutnfancy i need you opinion, I'm looking for a knife of this size. Its available in our country and i like the design a lot. But the problem is it sells for 69 USD here. Benchmade is also widely available here, and i'm looking at the 551 griptilian or the 850 which has roughly the same spec but with a better steel. And it cost 103 USD which is a fair price compared to US prices unlike the tenacious Which would you choose if your in my dilemma. Thanks - kelvin

Hey nutn I went on a big of a knife binge this week and bought three blades for my birthday, I bought a buck vantage pro a skyline and a cara cara, Im trying to buy my last one to round out my collection. Do you think the Tenacious or the Ontario Rat 1 is a better knife being that they are approximately the same price?

Dude how can some people bitch about Nutn being a hypocrite when he is posting a bunch if helpful reviews. And they go on about how he lies about his gear he reviews. Why the hell will a person in his lower 40's lie about stuff like that. I can't believe some of the bullshit that I see on YouTube. Seriously guys. Really?

@13irishsailors No, full flat grind is only the sides of the blade, you sharpen only the final edge, not the flats of the blade.

Which lock would be stronger over everyday use? The liner lock on the tenacious or the lockback on the endura 4. I am trying to decide between the two. Please answer Nutn.
MrNutnAddict 8 months ago
@MrNutnAddict Stronger: Endura's lockback. But for everyday use both locks will do great. I think the endura makes for a little bit of a nicer knife. It has a nicer feel in hand and the materials are significantly better. But if it's something that might get beat up a little I would stick with the Tenacious... it's a tough little guy that you won't feel too bad about getting a little beat up b/c of the price.

I was looking at cold steel tantos but after this review I realized I will get more use out of a good folder. This knife is less than $33.00 on amazon with free shipping. Can't go wrong.

Hey Nutn: just want to say I bought a tenacious last week and I love it! It's a great knife, especially for the money (I got mine for $29 from Cutlery shoppe!). Mine also cut me last night on my left middle finger. Had the blade in my left hand, reached across with that finger to hit the liner lock and then pushed on the back of the blade to close it without moving my finger and closed it right on my middle finger. Definitely proved the sharpness to me. Thanks again for the recommendation!
AirForceAce3571 8 months ago
So... I am relatively broke so i can't buy many knives... Grabbed the spyderco Tenacious for edc/tactical combo knife... I carry every day and use during my work for many cutting tasks. Its been about 3 months now with almost everyday use of the blade. I started to notice some signs of rusting and lubed the blade with some special tool lubricant i have and it disappeared immediately. Blade is wearing fine, no complaints and still has a razor sharp edge!!! thx nutn for the recommendation.

I have to say, First impressions, I don`t go much on Spyderco`s design of drilling a hole straight through the blade, It`s a clever idea, Simple and cheap to do, Saves weight and is obviously no problem for left handed use, But somehow, It`s not for me, Also, I don`t think you can say that because it`s made in China, That`s nothing to worry about, Have you seen their attempts at producing a motorcycle?

@xmoroseguyx made in china doesnt mean designed by china
ericsyutubeaccount 10 months ago
@ericsyutubeaccount That`s a fair point, Lots of companies round the world, Do shift production to the far East too save on labour cost etc.. But it has to be done right, Even so, There`s a rumour that quality control is not the same in all countries even with same same company and model, For example, There`s reviews that say Honda motorcycles are not as good from the Italian and Brazil factories as those in Japan, Still, I suppose a product like a knife should be no problem for them

bender43718 10 months ago
Just FYI nutn, I and a lot of other people care whether or not a blade is made in China. I totally agree with what your saying about quality control, etc. My issue isn't with quality, though. I simply like to know that the blade I'm carrying is U.S.-made. It's not going to keep me from buying a Spyderco or other foreign-made knife, but from a sort of quasi-ethical standpoint, I prefer blades(and pretty much everything else) made in the U.S. Just thought I'd throw that out there. And thanks for

I bought this knife on Amazon. Those retards charged me for one and shipped me two! Their loss, my gain! So far, I love it. Took me a while to get used to the goofy thumb hole (I prefer studs, discs, buttons and flippers). The jimping is amazing. I may however be sizing down to the Ambitious for edc use. Other than that, no complaints.
