SpydercoTenacious Folding Utility Pocket Knife with 3.39" Black Stainless Steel Blade and Durable G-10 Handle - Everyday Carry - CombinationEdge - C122GBBKPS

Man, for a cheap imported knife, this thing is really impressive. Not a normal occurrence, but I happened to have been lucky enough to purchase 2 very nice knives this week. While at a local knife shop I picked up a Benchmade 583sbk at a killer price, fell in love with the second i picked it up and knew it was going to be my new EDC. Prior to picking that knife up locally I had ordered the Spyderco on amazon, there was a delay in shipping so it didn't get to me in the one or two day post ordering. Well, anyway, picked up that really sweet benchmade and thought the spyderco was gonna wind up in my tool box, but much to my surprise this spyderco was pretty much THE perfect EDC knife, even with out the Tanto blade I usually prefer. Just felt solid and like a quality machine. Super easy action, I have a really strong feeling that this will be my most used EDC going forward. Nice slim profile, love the texture on the g-10 grips, easy peasy one handed open and close, smooth as a babies ass action, just a quality knife. I would like to play around with it with some gloves on (that is an area that the Bench made rocked, It was pushing zero degrees out this last weekend and snow and ice in my area, I used it all weekend outside with gloves and the Benchmade rocked) given the nice thumb protrusion on the Spyderco I expect similar results.I plan on adjusting the pocket clip for a tip up carry, that is my favorite postion, and that leads to another win on the Spyderco side, it is set up to have 4 positions for the clip, so you can carry this thing any way your heart desires!! Grab it, this thing is one quality tool for the price point, yeah, its made in China, I imagine there are not a lot of sub $100 knives in this category that aren't. Saw a previous reviewer whining about that, but you'd have to be a fool to think other wise, and it is clearly stated in the description as well. I will update this after a few months of use, but honestly, it is really great bang for the buck!!

i have been carrying a pocket knife since i was a cub scout and after all these years i think this might be my favorite folder. for the price this is some serious quality. i have bought much more expensive gerber knives and this one blows them all out of the water.smooth blade open, secure lock and no blade play. razor sharp out of the box. within 24 hours of getting it i managed to cut my finger on the serrated blade by accident. i was not sure about the thumb hole when i ordered it but i am now a fan. your thumb rotates in the hole providing a smooth easy open that follows the natural motion of your thumb.the knife is a good size for medium or larger hands.while it is made in china, Spyderco has amazing quality control. it feels like a USA made knife at half the cost. the steel is not as bad as some people say. for an everyday use knife it is an ideal steel ,holds an edge, sharpens up quick, and is strong. chrome moly vanadium stainless steel is often used in hand tools like wrenches so this blade is clearly meant to take a beating. if you are looking for a $150 knife then buy a $150 knife. but i can guarantee 99% of the population could not tell the difference in steel.overall i am very satisfied with this knife. i liked it so much i bought another with the full spyderedge blade. eventually i will drop the cash to buy a $200 spyderco made in America but for every day carry the Tenacious is perfect.

LOVE LOVE LOVE.......Spyderco just has a certain look to it. Great knife

I have owned a number of Spyderco knives. I think they are some of the best around, in general. This model (Tenacious) is the first I've owned that is made in China. I am impressed. Quality feels on par with other Spydercos, Fit and finish is well above my expectations. Easily matches or beats any other knives I've handled in this price range. Grips are perfectly aligned to the frame, no overlap or rough edges. In fact they have a really nice bevel. I like the feel of the G10 grips, I have used other knives with similar material. I think it will hold up long term... time will tell.Steel quality seems 'ok'. I'm not a steel geek like some are with knives so I don't feel qualified to comment on it's value. The knife arrived reasonably sharp, not quite as good as some of the other Spydercos I've had.I think the knife is a great value at around 50 bucks. Not a high-end piece but a great quality for daily use and abuse.

I bought this knife as a replacement for one I lost. I don't recall the model of the other one, but I bought it directly from Spyderco. I don't like this one quite as much. It's heavier than the other one, and slightly thicker. Also, to close it, you have to push the lock to the side with your finger directly in the path of the blade. The other one I had had the release on the backside of the case, so there was no chance of closing the blade on your finger.

Great knife had to buy one for my dad

Love my Spyderco! Keeps a sharp place even when I am literally cutting small branches with the serrated edge. Clip stays tight (which was a problem with other brands). I have had this knife over a year and use it pretty much daily and still love it
