The mid-sized Spyderco Tenacious C122GBBKP has a black finished blade with a plain edge and a black G-10 laminate handle, milled with prolonged fatigue-free cutting in mind. Tucked inside are skeletonized steel liners increasing the handle’s rigidity and strength without adding non-functioning weight or bulky thickness. The 8Cr13Mov stainless blade is leaf-shaped and ground flat from spine to cutting edge for cutting performance. The blade’s shape coupled with an over sized Spyderco Round Hole and textured spine jimping allow you to open the blade and position your thumb on the spine in slip-proof confidence ready for work. A Walker Linerlock (with jimped liner) and a 4-way pocket clip lets you set your carry and draw preference: Tip-up/tip-down left-hand/right-hand. Screw together construction.
Customer Reviews
The handle is not too grippy, I'd like a little more grippy handle for harder tasks, it's rather comfortable though. The clip is great for the price, and isn't flashy.
I wouldn't buy another because of the sharp spydie hole, and the extremely strong detent. When you try and open the knife it flies out because of the detent, I've dropped it tons of times, and cut myself before simply because it's too stiff at most times.
I paid 100$ for the knife because of shipping, taxes, and CAD is a lot different than USD, I'm not extremely happy with the purchase but it's honestly one of the best EDC's. As long as you don't get a bad one of the batch you'll love it.
It's my first Spyderco knife, and it won't be my last.

I've had this knife for a while now and its still my go-to, favorite knife. Its the perfect size for edc. The edge was razor sharp out of box, the side of my finger can vouch for that. The blade shape is ideal for most cutting tasks. The clip is nice and strong. Its reversible and for left and right hand carry and for tip up or tip down carry. Its not deep carry but it still gets a pass. The construction oozes quality. And for under $50 its hard to beat. I really wish spyderco offered the tenacious in other steels than 8Cr13MoV. I know it would add to the price, but id be willing to pay it. I know they make other similar knives, but I like the liner lock, the size and that it doesn't have a finger choil. Unfortunately, all the knives I know of that spyderco makes with better steel is missing those features. That's not to say that 8Cr13MoV is bad, its just that it doesnt hold a razor edge very long and needs to be touched up frequently. Although its fairly easy to sharpen. Overall though, this knife is a perfect starter knife. If you are only going to own one pocket knife, this would be a good one. Its also good as a beater knife if you want something to use at work so you dont put unnecessary wear on more expensive knives.

This knife is a great value knife! Need a beater knife but want something visually similar to other Spyderco knives? This knife has you covered. The Tenacious fits the medium size in this line of knives (it’s siblings being the Resilience, Persistence, and Ambitious).

Ive never spent this much on a knife before, I know its really not that much compared to other peoples standards but I am so happy I bought it.
It feels amazing in the hand, opens a bit tough at first but then gets real nice as you use it. Locks up great with absolubtly zero blade play.
This is some serious luxury ive never had in a knife in the past. Where has this thing been?
Buy it, love it, enjoy being impressed every day by it. Totally amazing.

Shapness is great, when I say hair shaving sharp I mean it. I hate it when people say it is and it isnt but this thing is fully capable of shaving hair. Just lightly stroke it against hair and its gone.
I got a coffee and decided to try cutting the card hand protectors that keep them from getting too hot, stood it up on its side and just pressed down slightly and it was one amazingly clean cut. So satisfying!
This is my pride and joy so I dont know about how long the sharpness lasts but it seems to be holding up really well, no signs of losing that out of box punch.
The steel is easy to maintain and sharpen, (8Cr13Mov), and does most tasks very well without damage to the knife/blade itself.
Awesome EDC/ light Outdoors knife
This is the very first pocket knife I've bought and carried.
I've since bought several, a Kershaw Shuffle, a Spyderco Ambitious, a Kershaw Cryo II, a Benchmade Triage, a CRKT GSD, etc.. And yet the one that is still in my back pocket on a daily basis is the Tenacious.
It is cheap, discreet, solid (dropped it blade opened several times). I don't know much about the blade steel but I'm not a hardcore user so anything sharper than a butter knife works for me.
For a 1st or 10th knife, I would recommend the Tenacious in a heartbeat as an inexpensive folder.
Cheers.
