Spyderco Tenacious: "Hanging Tough Value" by Nutnfancy

It's pretty much unbelievable to me that this knife, brand new, cost me only $28. Here's a compact tactical and EDC blade that features textured G10 handles, skeletonized SS liners, strong liner lock (from all appearances), functional jimping on both the top and bottom (!), good 4 corner clip, strong lockup, and super fast deployment riding on phosphor bronze bushings. The feel is solid, balance is good, the deployment is rapid (thanks to the phosphor bronze bushing), and the lockup is flawless on the Tenacious. The full flat ground 8Cr13MoV blade (like AUS8) is beautifully finished and I think will handle most cutting tasks very well (it is on the wide side however). Like Japanese-made AUS8 steel, 8Cr13MoV is a high carbon (.8%) stainlees steel that is balances corrosion resistance, edge holding, toughness, and ease of sharpening well. Expect good but not excellent rust resistance from this steel. The one downside I can detect is insufficient in-handle retention caused by a weak detent. But thats about it. Intially I had discounted this blade as being too heavy and therefoer I wasn't interested. I was wrong. This is an outstanding, EXTREMELY HIGH VALUE blade that I suspect can pretty much handle whatever you throw at it. This knife offers amazing value (like a more affordable Spyderco Caly3). /////////////////////////// Nutnfancy Likeability Scale for Spyderco Tenacious: 8 of 10 (price considered)

I've gotten in to a bad habit of buying a whole bunch of blades.....

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

And I got this for around 10 bones less!! I can not wait to get it and test it out!

[CHICKENNNNNNNNN]

Ha I bought this 2 days ago. Because everything I have heard/read about this knife is amazing. And this review confirmed it. Thanks Nutn

[littlefrogyboy1]

[mytube132b]

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!

guess i miss the 25$ deal on amazon =/ got it for 30$

[parrothead2581]

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 ;)

and then u cut yourself. bbtw i bought this knife

[makeuplover1935]

@rangodash 100 percent agree with you the blade is the whole reason you buy the knife
