It just came in the mail lol and i like it. nice and sturdy! Tell me what you think of yours if you have one!!! :D
 
I love mine it is one of the best folders I have owned and held it is so comfortable! Congratulations on a great EDC!:thumbup:
 
I had one,sold it :(.But I just traded a kershaw skyline for one,so I have another one in coming in the mail.:D
The Tenacious is one of the best 30$ knife's around.
 
I have one, I like it a lot, but the liner is a bit tough to disengage compared to my other folders.
 
^^^ Agreed. I find it much more difficult to close with one hand- pushing down liner with thumb while using index finger to close the blade. I traded it for a skyline.
 
Its a sweet knife and for the price you can't beat it at all. Its been my new EDC since I got it, but I do rotate it with my Native. I would be cool if it was made with VG-10, 154CM or S30V...but I think its a hell of a knife for the price.

Just got mine in the mail yesterday. I'm impressed with how well its built considering the price. Mine was pretty stiff but after a day of playing with it its smoothing out nicely. Its also really freaking sharp. One of the sharpest out of the box I've ever owned. Its going right into the EDC rotation with my Tyrade, Native and Griptilian. I really like it.
 
Yes I think we all agree that Spyderco should look over the Tenacious and make more variety especially with blade steel.... Has anyone had Liner problems??? I haven't I just want to know your experience...:thumbup:
 
aside from the stiff liner, I have noticed in the 2 weeks I've had the knife, the liner has gone completely to the right, as in the liner is not at the middle of the blade when it is locked, but at the far right, and IIRC that will make the blade develop blade play, but it hasn't happened yet, so I can't say much.
Ill try to get a pic of it sometime. These aren't deal-breakers though, it doesn't change the feel or lockup of the knife...yet
Also a extremely minor issue is that the pivot screw keeps unscrewing itself over time, but easily fixed with superglue or loctite.

I also have a skyline, and I also love it, but having only the flipper annoys me a bit, I can use the thumb-stud, but it is recessed a lot. The liner on the skyline IMO is far superior to the Tenacious, but I like the versatility of the Tenacious's Spyderhole.

Edit: Also be careful when taking apart the Tenacious, there are different sized washers on each side, and I ruined one of the big ones because I put it on the wrong side.
 
I just love to buy knives...espeically kersaw..i have both zings in black and orange...great flipper knives...super shark..perfect size for everyday carry....i must own about 100 knives...

Lol, did you guys trade each other or is this a coincidence? :D

I have a Skyline and a Persistence. The Persistence liner is definitely the stiffest of my collection, but I kind of like that about it because it provides excellent closed retention.
