Cheap spyderco

[tenacious33Morpho]

I want to get a new spyderco but it has to be relatively cheap 45$ at best. any input is appreciated.

Anything from the Tenacious line. If you bump it up to 60 you can get a Dragonfly, Endura, or Delica

 

[zeroed4x]

Tenacious or Resilience you will not be disappointed.

Tenacious/Persistence or wait for a used Endura or Delica to pop up.

A simple search on an major retailer would have answered this question faster and more thoroughly.

We're glad to answer the OP though.

Tenacious or persistence is what I'd suggest too.

Check out any of the Byrd series if you're into lock-backs (I don't care for the liner-lock models - if you want a liner-lock, stick with the Tenacious series).

Also available in that price-range at tiny-size is the Ladybug / Manbug.

Could probably also find a Pingo or UKPK for that price.

I'd keep an eye out on the exchange. Occasionally a Delica or Endura will pop up there for around that price.

Tenacious or Byrd line you can't go wrong!!!

I'll go against the grain and suggest the Spyderco Cat. I prefer the 440C steel over the value line, and can be found for under $40 new.

Is your username a coincidence with the question you ask?

 

[tenacious33Morpho]

thanks i will take into account all of your input most likely i will get the Resilience or something from the tenacious line besides the besides the tenacious because i already have a tenacious and it is still in relatively good condition. or maybe a used endura. thanks

 

[tenacious33Morpho]

yes it is

I don't think I've ever noticed the Cat. Looks pretty nice for the price. G-10, 440C, low ride clip... Interesting. Thanks for mentioning it.

You're welcome. Other pluses are the finger choil and great ergos. Like a budget mini sage.

I would save a few more bucks and get a delica or endura. Two true values... Russ

 

[MC Chan]

Ah yes, gateway Spydercos. Just make a list of the ones you like, list them in order of preference, then note their prices, then just start getting the ones you like best. You will probably feel the value relates well to price.

I recommend a Byrd lockback. If lock strength concerns you, avoid the knives in the Tenacious line.

So why haven't you just exchanged your problematic Tenacious at the vendor you purchased it from. Just explain that you spend a lot of time Spine whacking and you would like them to test it for you. Then you can join all of the thousands of Ten fans.

If it makes you feel better I have one as a car knife and just for you I pulled it out and whacked it a few times on a log, no problemo, no slip, no release. Really, you are having a unique experience.
