I purchased it here off of desertcart over 11 years ago (the plain version). I own dozens upon dozens of knives. In my pictures, I have the Black version. Its pictured with a Spyderco Ambitious, a Spyderco Sage 2, a Spyderco Stretch, a Kershaw skyline, and an Ontario Rat II, for reference. It's a hobby bug you can catch. Something about the designs, the materials, the fit and finish. How smooth it opened and closes. The lines of the shape. It's an art, most definitely. I'd like to start by saying that the build quality of this knife for the price, there is not many that compare. I know since then, there has been many budget-friendly companies with their D2 steals and whatnot. I still stand behind that. This is a knife you purchase to try out Spyderco. All of this has been mentioned, the g10 of the handle is a material that will help you get better purchase on it the handle when your heads are wet or compromised. It is a good handle material. The blade steel 8cr13mov, very decent for a blade steel. Decent for the blade snobby crowd. I admit I can get a bit snobby. Not too bad though. It will hold an edge quite well and will sharpen quite well. Theres a trade off usually with steels. If a blade steel holds its edge incredibly well, it should be just as hard to sharpen. It may also chip because of how hard the steel may be. With this knife, you can just let the knife be a knife. You can put it through its paces and it will come on out on top. You don't have to baby it, you don't have to overlook it. You can just take it and use it and not feel too bad. And it will take what you throw at it and more, with common sense in mind (knives are not pry bars). In summary, if you're looking for a value folding knife, this knife still holds up, absolutely! If you're looking for a knife to try spider go out, go for it. If you like the way it looks, go for it. Worst case scenario, there is a return policy. This opinion is coming from a person who has handled hundreds of a folding knives. Once that cost into the thousands of dollars. I tell you this is a great knife. I still love it. This is one of the few knives I would recommend as a gift to someone who will be actually using the knife, putting it through its paces so to speak. Definitely definitely recommend it. Thank you for reading. Please, let me know if I have been of help. Review: Value? Performance? Buck-for-buck, this is the BEST knife out there!!! - I've had a passion for knives for many years, right or wrong. One would probably lament the amount of money and time I have devoted to such a strange hobby. If I was a reasonable man about knives and wanted to choose one (1) folding knife to serve as my EDC (every day carry), this would be that knife. Value? Buck for buck, no folding pocket knife will outperform and out-value (for lack of a better word) the performance and value of the Spyderco Tenacious. As the years have gone by, I simply continue to marvel at this knife's greatness. I have a folder that costs $250.00 right now on the open market, and most days I find the Spyderco Tenacious in my pocket. Why? The performance and value of this beast just blows my mind. This knife can actually outperform many knives that cost over $100.00!! It's slick, robust, smooth as butter, sharp as hell and easy to carry. The design of the blade is very useful and classic Spyderco while the handle is G10 and very ergonomic. Perhaps the best thing about it is the price. You can get this knife for $40-$45 right now. A few years ago, you could get it for as low as $37.00, but I think those days are gone. The steel is 8CR13MOV, which is a Chinese steel very similar to AUS-8. Is it the best steel on the market? No, but Spyderco's treatment of 8CR13MOV is very impressive. It holds its edge fairly well, and is VERY EASY to sharpen to a razor's edge. I have actually grown quite fond of this steel because it's so easy to sharpen. All you have to do is give about 5-10 strokes with a ceramic rod, and it's a razor blade again. I have also been pleasantly surprised at this steel's corrosive resistance, something I was somewhat concerned about. Now, you will have to provide some care to any knife's steel or corrosion will result, but some mineral oil or a wipe down with Tuff-Cloth will be all you need to do with this knife, as long as you keep it dry after use. After exposure to water, I would try to rub it down if possible, but I haven't always done that, and the knife is still holding up well. The liner lock is actually surprisingly strong. I have had many liner lock knives, and some I can just tell that the liner lock won't hold up to heavy usage, but with the Spyderco Tenacious, I have confidence in this lock. That doesn't mean I'm going to be stupid with it, but this lock should hold up pretty well as long as you are reasonably cautious. By contrast, I have been cut by the Kershaw Blur after the liner lock failed in that knife, not that I don't like the Blur, but the liner lock just isn't that secure, at least not as secure as the Tenacious. With any liner lock or any folder, one must always be cautious about lock failure. The ergonomics on this knife are very impressive. This knife fits my hand like a glove, and it holds up so well to heavy usage. I have bought knives like CRKT No Time Off and other heavy duty knives that are almost twice as expensive as the Tenacious, and the I always find myself going back to my Tenacious because it's so comfortable, strong and easy to use. Like I said, I have many knives, many folding knives and many Spydercos, but if I wanted to sell all of my knives and get my money back and keep one (1) knife that could do EDC and heavy duty tasks, the Spyderco Tenacious would be that knife, hands down!! Many people will tell you that the Tenacious is out of style and now there are better options like the Byrd Raven 2 or people will tell you that the Ontario RAT-1 is better, but I'm here to tell you that I have all those knives, and the Spyderco Tenacious is the knife that I trust the most of the bunch. Does that mean it's better than a Spyderco Manix 2 G10 with S30V? No, the Manix 2 has better steel and a stronger lock, but it costs about $60.00 more than the Tenacious, too. What I am saying is that the Spyderco Tenacious is a silky-smooth, robust, beast of a knife and is THE BEST VALUE for the money on the market today, and it's been that way for a long, long time! The Spyderco Tenacious gets my highest recommendation as an EDC folding knife. I love it!!! Overall score: 93/100. ## Features - Engineered for Endurance - Precision-crafted from 8Cr13MoV steel, this blade offers elite edge retention, high wear resistance, and excellent toughness, making it perfect for heavy-duty, daily cutting tasks. - Secure, Tactical Grip - Features durable peel-ply G-10 handle scales that deliver a confident, slip-resistant grip in wet or dry conditions, ideal for outdoor environments or hard-use applications. - Versatile Cutting Performance - Full-flat-ground satin-finished blade is available in PlainEdge or CombinationEdge, providing superior slicing efficiency and adaptability across a range of materials. - Reliable Locking Power - Designed with skeletonized stainless steel liners and a proven LinerLock mechanism that ensures a strong, secure lock-up and smooth one-handed operation under stress. - Customizable Carry Options - Equipped with a four-position pocket clip and open-back design, allowing fast, user-friendly maintenance and multiple carry configurations for maximum on-the-go convenience. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001EI7578 | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,794 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #6 in Folding Hunting Knives | | Blade Edge | Straight | | Blade Length | 3.4 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | PlainEdge - G-10 Handle | | Blade Type | Non-Serrated | | Brand | Spyderco | | Brand Name | Spyderco | | Color | Black | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,698 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00716104008612, 00716104009336 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Fiberglass | | Included Components | Pocket Clip | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 7.77 Inches | | Item Shape | PlainEdge - G-10 Handle | | Item Type Name | Holster | | Item Weight | 0.12 Grams | | Manufacturer | Spyderco | | Model Name | C122GP | | Model Number | 8612 | | Part Number | 008612 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Camping | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 3.4" | | Special Feature | Lightweight | | Special Features | Lightweight | | Style | PlainEdge | | UPC | 885127580433 716104008612 885111346663 885111299730 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Spyderco - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** Fiberglass - **Included Components:** Pocket Clip - **Model Name:** C122GP - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Camping - **Special Feature:** Lightweight - **Style:** PlainEdge ## Images ![TENACIOUS - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51cABEn3nRL.jpg) ![TENACIOUS - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51D7KX5PeNL.jpg) ![TENACIOUS - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51dld7pvt9L.jpg) ![TENACIOUS - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZvlLfi26L.jpg) ![TENACIOUS - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-mNkrwVsL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Item Shape, Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I bough this for my dad...just got it and opened it...and I cant figure out to close it...help?** A: Tara - With the knife in the open position, hold the knife in your hand with the blade pointed to the left. On the handle is a semi-circular cutout on the handle near the blade. There is a silver piece of spring steel running through that semi-circle. If you push on that piece of steel, you will see that it pushes in. When you push that spring steel in, it releases the tension on the blade and allows you to fold the blade back into the handle. With your left hand, gently fold the knife blade down and it will allow you to close the knife. Be careful, Spyderco knives come from the factory with razor sharp blades and you can serious cut yourself if you are not careful. Hope that helps ! **Q: Should I get this knife or the Kershaw Cryo 2?** A: I am not really a "knife guy" so I don't have any knowledge of the Kershaw Cryo 2. All I can say is that I have owned this knife for about three years and really enjoy it. I have also purchased this knife as a gift on two separate occasions. **Q: What's the most economical way to sharpen this blade?** A: The absolute cheapest way would be to find a piece of plywood, an old mouse pad, and some rubber bands, then just buy some metal wet/dry sandpaper in several grits. I did this and it worked pretty well. Google "convex sharpening". Be advised that it rounds off the secondary bevel, so you kind of have to keep sharpening it this way once you go this route. **Q: I got my tenacious week and a half ago and the blade was dead on center when I got it but now it's way off any suggestions ?** A: Either you can ajust the pivot pin yourself or send it back to spyderco. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the first knives that started my interest in Spyderco, over 12 yrs ago! *by D***Y on May 1, 2024* First off, I've purchased the plane edge satin steel version and the Black version of this knife.

Overall score: 93/100. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tenacious A+ *by T***R on November 17, 2012* I have never been a huge fan of spyderco, just on the blade shape it always seemed so fragile and the ones ive seen like the delica and the military do have a thin skinny blade, they have great tips but overall they seem kinda flimsy, I always thought of them in the same line as a kershaw leek, mainly low use gentelmens folders open mail and crap like that. Now dont get me wrong spyderco does make fine blades and they are strong but they always felt to small and delicate. a perception on my part but it made me uncomfortable nonetheless, so ive stayed away from spyderco for the most part i love the little bug keychain knives they are great. The tenacious does not look delicate the picture doesnt give it justice, the blade has a very wide (as in spine to edge) blade and it just gives me a sense of security with that broad blade and fine but strong tip. I love the tenacious I bought the ambitious as well both are fantastic. Ive even got over the spyderco hole instead of a thumb stud. the ambitious is a bit tough to deploy. the tenacious is just as fast as the blade ive EDC'd for the last 2 years. Quality of the knife. it is less than a $50 knife so the grind of the edge and the flat grind have some waves, and the flat grind has some very slight high and low spots, you cant feel it but you can see it in the reflection of the blade, does it affect the performance no, its just something i noticed. the lock up and blade centering are great, I really like the g10 handles and the thick liners, ill take the width and weight. thats another thing Ive always criticized spyderco about, the handles are too slim for me I cant get a good grip, I have the same complaint of the kershaw leek. I have medium hands and the handle size and that thumb hole always made them slow difficult and uncomfortable to me. The tenacious is not like that at all, the handle fills your hand well the thickness and width are great and since i can get my finger around the handle the thumbhole doesnt impede opening like it does for me on the other spyderco models ive held. All in all a great knife and a fantastic deal at the price, the tenacious persistence and the ambitious are all great buys, you are getting a whole lotta knife for the money, there are few others out there that deliver this much for the price, The kershaw scamp is one thats a $20 folder the skyline is about $45 the RAT 1 by ontario is also a great sub $50 folder thats around $30. there are options but I think with the 3 sizes that spyderco offers in this low cost high value line can fit almost everyones needs. I actually think there are 4 knives of this design but different size, The Resilience is the 4" the Tenacious is 3.375 the Persistance is the 2.75 and the ambitious is the 2.25 blade so there is one in there for everybody and they are all less than $40 usually. great blades at great prices, They have made me look at spyderco more, I really want the paramilitary in that camo/black config delicate blade or not that is one cool knife. Anyway I bought them so I could add some Spyderco's to my collection and im so glad I did I had no intent on using this knife but now love it and I think you will too, If you were like me and thought "no thumb stud, delicate looks,no thanks" at least spend the $20 ish on the ambitious so you can see what you get with the rest I really doubt you will be dissapointed ## Frequently Bought Together - Spyderco Tenacious Folding Utility Pocket Knife with 3.39" 8Cr13MoV Stainless Steel Blade and Durable Non-Slip G-10 Handle - Everyday Carry - PlainEdge - C122GP - CIVIVI Mini Praxis Folding Pocket Knife, 2.98" D2 Steel Blade G10 Handle Small EDC Knife with Pocket Clip for Men Women, Sharp Camping Survival Hiking Knives C18026C-1 - CIVIVI Mini Praxis Folding Pocket Knife, 2.98" D2 Steel Blade G10 Handle Small EDC Knife with Pocket Clip for Men Women, Sharp Camping Survival Hiking Knives C18026C-2 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/1442121-tenacious](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/1442121-tenacious) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
