If you want a thumb stud, put a zip tie through the hole and zip it so the head of the tie is on the hand you open it with. The head of the zip tie can act like a thumb stud.
hey, is the g10 scales on the tenacious aggressive enough to grind away your pocket over time if you clip the knife onto your pocket and slide it down??
Do you like the Rat 1 or the Tenacious better? I couldn't decide myself so I ordered the Tenacious because I'm not digging the thumb barrel on the blades.
@jimmyjames1981 I believe the clip screws are a t6, I have heard some people say the hardware varies on the newer ones and you might need either a 1.5mm or 1.6mm hex. Depends on when you bought it I guess.

@Bwheat7 nutnfancy cut himself a while back with the tenacious because his blade opened in his bag accidentally. I just ordered mine and hope that doesn't happen!
I am debating if I should return it or not. It is too heavy and too fat for everyday carry. The construction and the blade feels cheap compare to other Spyderco knives. Made in China blade. Perhaps good for everyday beat without feeling bad about it even if I lost it. I can also sell it and use the money to buy a real Spyderco (quality) knife if I added about $20 more to it. I think there is a good reason to why this model is so cheap....
@urkingod It's sharp and holds an edge, deploys fast and locks up solidly. I don't know what type of fit and finish you expect for $25 dollars but mine is fine. I carried the tenacious for a 6 month period and it never developed any issues or failed me.
Yeah! I obviously haven't had much time with cutting, but out of the box it is fantastically sharp! Even more so than my Leatherman Charge TTi (S30V blade).
Sweet knife and good review, I can't wait for mine to get here. I like your choice of location for the review, and I hope your buddy stays safe in Afghanistan.
Very true. The price makes it easily accessible to most people. Not many knives can beat the Tenacious as far as value for the money goes. I still feel the Rat 1 is a superior knife for a similar and most of the time cheaper price.
Your knife does have smooth grinding, unlike mine (you saw that in my review). That's interesting. Maybe they need to train the 12 year olds to be more consistant with grinding. Good review. 5 pointies
You really should try a decent Spydie, you would see a major difference. I still like my Ten for a beater.
Yeah I was really disappointed to see the wavy grinding on yours. Thanks for telling the truth about it, I can't stand people who are blindly loyal to a manufacturer even if they are putting out subpar products. Quality control will never improve if no one has the balls to mention the issues.
@BLUNTRUTH4U That is because it is made in China. You can type "Chinese disneyland subtitled" go from there to learn more about Chinese standard. I am not a racist or prejudice person, but only interested in the truth.
hey have you or any of you other guys noticed that your liner lock is wearign a littl mark on your blade by where is says china. It is hapening to mine and its not really that big of a deal its just a little annoying.
Totally agree with you. I have been carrying every day for a few months now and it has never let me down. It gets shaving sharp with the spyderco sharpmaker and a little stropping.
Good review. Its a great knife. Well done on the lanyard as well. You might try holding the knife a little further away from the lense in order to focus it.
I wish it were that simple. It seems like I am right up on the knife in the review but in reality the camera is up near my face and my arm is fully extended. This is apparently a well known and common issue with these cameras. These are just not suited for "tabletop" distance reviews. There is a mod I am going to try where you glue a step down ring to the front of the camera so you can use those macro and telephoto lenses that are made for point and shoot cameras.
Thanks. I just wish I could get the Flip Mino HD to focus on whats in the foreground instead of the background. I think I am going to try one of those DIY macro lens mods on it.
