Personally, I think the Spyderco Tenacious is an excellent working knife. Solid ergonomics in the hand, the shape of the blade is great for opening boxes, etc. Spyderco 8cr13mov is very well treated so that it holds its sharpness quite solidly. It's not the prettiest or lightest knife on the market, but it's definitely a good choice if you're going to use it for real work and not to open a small box from Amazon every couple of days.

Got the Tenacious LW black on black full serrated model and I'm really happy with it! My PM2 has a slight edge with a better feel to the handle and smother deployment but the difference is only slightly better. For the price the Tenacious is a lot of knife, its a little large for EDC but I'm a big guy and in the pocket it feels just fine, I wish they sold the Native LW at a better price for $120 I have to go with the Tenacious but I think I would go with the Native LW SpyderEdge Blk for $80, the Native is just the right size for EDC, IMO. thanks for the video!

I wish Spyderco would call it the Tenacious FRN. It's in no way lightweight. Anything they call lightweight should at least qualify for a wire pocket clip. How much more could it possibly cost? It is a much better value than a Delica 4 which is way over priced in today's market. I like VG10 but it's certainly not twice as good as 8CrMoV13. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for checking out the review Steve, it FOR SURE could use a wire clip and I can't imagine it would cost anything different at all, heck wire clips are likely cheaper and easier to manufacture. Take care out there.

Very even fair review. The tenacious was my first Spyderco. I didn't like the look of the big leaf blade like a lot of people. After trying the tenacious I realized maybe the other design wasn't so bad rest is history as they say. I guess maybe it is a little lighter than the original but calling it a light weight is a stretch. Thanks for sharing it. Like the sound.

I picked the up Tenacious in G10 from Walmart for only $43 a few months back. It was my first and only Spyderco (never been a fan). After hearing Slicey Dicey and Metal Complex (and others) rave about Spydercos I thought I'd give them a try... now I'm a fan (NOT a "fanboy"). My next will be he Matrix 2 in G10. The "light weights" with FRN just seem too cheap for the cost. I also don't like the riveted construction on some of their LWs. After wear-in, a good cleaning and lube my Tenacious is now almost fall shut. Pet Peeve: why are they shipped from the factory with the clip in the tip down configuration??? Thanks for the great review!

I'm with you, I'm a fan not a fanatic. They makes some excellent knives. This feels like a really solid, well executed budget-end knife that probably punches above it's price tag. I'm not an 8Cr13MoV hater, so maybe I'm misguided, ha! Yeah the clip thing is funny. I think Ive heard Eric Glesser say he prefers tip down carry, so maybe that's why they do that. It is kinda annoying to have to immediately change the clip on a new knife. Thanks for watching man!

D's Knives hooked me up with one of these in a giveaway and I have been carrying it quite a lot lately. Mine is just starting to break in and like you said it starts off kind of stiff but is very smooth - I couldn't resist taking it apart and found that it has 4 washers (2 on each side) and they are all drilled out similar to those on Chris Reeves knives. A wire clip would be cool, but it's an amazing knife and a great value -especially compared to the Delica.

So many times I hear...the Spydie hole needs so chamfering. You would think that would be a thing of the past by this time. But I still hear it time and time again. It’s like WT...., you would think Spyderco would hear the customers calling out by now. It would indeed do well with a finger choil. I think I have to agree with your take on the Tenacious.
