almasy87 - I sent an email; did you get it?

I'm with the others, I'd say contact Spyderco & see if Sal wants to look at it. I've put my Tenacious through some serious abuse just to be mean, and it's handled it better than some of my higher end knives. I'll bet this one had a flaw of some sort.

you could get another blade for nominal, sometimes boxes have heavy copper staples.

Or you can just buy another $30 knife.

It's made in China just for that reason. Affordability.

 

[TheCarbideRat]

yep, Charlie Mike would probly make it into a waved tanto with optional flame thrower, LOL

 

[Brules1]

Send it to Tom Krein for a regrind.

 

[Angus McGunnigl]

I agree. HAve someone reshape the blade for you.

Odd that you don't know how it happened. Were you cutting the cardboard over a concrete floor like in a garage?

I snapped a little part of the tip of my tenacious off a few months ago. It was enough of a chunk that it is about worthless stabbing something but I just ground off some of the blade to form a point and sharpened it a bit and now it is useable though the tip is alot broader now. The tenacious is a great value blade. I do mourn your loss though.

I say have one of these folks fix it. Cause if Spyderco replaces it, it just another knife but if someone redoes it, it become unique and a conversation starter with history.

almasy87 - I sent an email; did you get it?

Yep...just replied to it.

Odd that you don't know how it happened. Were you cutting the cardboard over a concrete floor like in a garage?

Nope. I was working on a carpeted floor in the basement.


It's still possible that I hit something without realizing it since the basement has a lot of junk in it, but I'd still think I would have felt it or something. Who knows...but this is why I was using one of my cheaper knives in the first place :thumbup:

you thought about getting somebody to grind the same blade shape just shorter? you'd have the same handle obviously but you'd have a shorter blade. if you trimmed it right it'd look perfect

 

[dsmegst]

With a regrind, a gentle curve downward is added to the spine to create a more of a leaf/spear shape and the point will be below the handle when closed. When done right, it would look a Sage blade in a Tenacious handle. I'd say go for it.
