Tenacious

[bitter1]

Yes another Tenacious review. I am lucky enough to get one from a friend on loan to test it out to see if I want one (yes I do want one now). The steel is good just like the Byrd's and my Crossbill is a nice sharp knife and so is the Tenacious and after going through a couple of things of cardboard it's sharp, not shaving but the Lansky crock sticks did the trick and fast(two swipes on each side and my left arm is a little balder). The G10 isn't as grippy as my Emerson's or Mini Manix but it's G10 and I like the stuff and the lock has a nice loud click. The clip is in the tip up position as per the owner of the knife, and my choice also, it rides nice and is easy to pull out and the lanyard he put on it helps too. The FFG blade is nice also(I own a Mini Manix and that is sweet also). The ergonomics are excellent and comfortable and it's thinner than I would have thought which is a plus and some people think that it's a little large for EDC(including the owner) and I beg to differ I find it nice and comfortable. All in all it's a sweet knife at a sweet price and the construction is solid and the blade is sharp, being a Spyderco I would expect nothing less.

I got my brother a Tenacious as a gift, pondering if I want one too. It is a great knife. Usually when I look at something reasonably sized and ask myself if it is too big for EDC, that means I have too much junk in my pockets/on keychain, etc. Check out the Native III as well. While it is smaller, it has some bulk. But you seem to like the tenacious, maybe your buddy should try out a native!

I got a tenacious as a knock around knife. Great knife, the only problem I have with it is if I grip it tightly in just the right way the lock becomes partially disengaged.
