Just noticed this 4 doesn't have the Boyd dent on the lock bar, is that customary for this sage model??

Got a question... whats the purpose of the aftermarket backspacers?

Probably. The Native 5 doesn't have one either.
The intent of the Boye dent is to prevent your palm from accidentally unlocking the knife under hard use. Also, in the dark it give you a tactile locator for the lock release.
This is the only spyderco in my collection now but I don't see myself selling it. S110V with Shredded CF scales and custom TI spyder Clip/cog backspacer. Perfection :thumbup:
Just got my blue tenacious in the mail. A+ for this one! Only thing that isn't flawless about it is the fact that it uses 8CR13MOV steel instead of something like S30V. Otherwise it's on par...possibly even better than my made in USA PM2 was. Very nice!
How do you guys rate the Tenacious in comparison to the PM2?
I love Spydercos. I used to think they were ugly, and maybe they are, but I have really grown to love them. They just work, and are so dam comfortable. I also realized that I like their simple Mid lock better than any other mechanism, and they make a bunch of models with 'em. Very exciting knife company with the constant new models, new steels, sharpening products etc.
I realize that. I have a PM2. Blade length is about the same IIRC.The Tenacious is nowhere near the PM2. Tenacious is a Chinese made knife with Chinese steel. The tenacious also is nowhere near the price of a PM2.
