Spyderco Tenacious G-10 Combo Blk

All-Black Functional Beauty

This knife, completely manufactured in China, is wholly black – the blade, handle scales, pocketclip, screws, even the linerlock and internal liners of the G10 scales – with no part or piece uncoated. Only the Spyderco bugs on the blade and clip are silver, along with the legends at the rear of the blade, are highlighted and outstanding by their lack of the black colouration/coating. Against black uniform pants or jeans of that colour, this knife all but disappears, being noticed by only the sharpest eyed observer, thus being less socially objectionable when carried out in ‘ gentle ‘ company and situations. The pocketclip can be arranged for tip-up, tip-down, right- or left-hand carry, but the linerlock can be manipulated singlehanded successfully only with the right hand, as the left handed operator may well cut a finger to some degree if trying to close this knife only with that hand.

Not Sure Why It Is Called Tenacious

I Purchased this knife as an EDC, the serrations are generous and incredibly sharp, the smooth edge of the cutting blade is ground to the standard 30deg and, allowing for quick touch-ups to the blade using a hone.

However I expected the knife to make a good verbal sparring partner based on it’s "Tenacious" name, unfortunately it has never once engaged me in a heated debate or even responded when I make litigious comments about its country of origin (China). I attempted to provoke the knife further by writing a scathingly worded letter to the knife about the foolishness of how it’s pocket clip encircles the lanyard hole in the handle but once again the knife failed to respond. As a last ditch effort I yelled at the knife and threw it into a corner, but it still did not respond, it just cowered on the floor where it landed. Perhaps this knife should be called the Spyderco Timid instead.

excellent piece for the price

I read lots of reviews and info on knife forums all over the net

and came up with this one for an every day carry folding. More than pleased with

what I got for what I paid. Super sharp right out of the box.

One hand opening is a snap. Very comfortable in my hand. I’m a lefty

and loved that I could change the location of the clip as needed.

The all black looks way cool also.

I’d buy this one again in a snap if I lost mine but hope I never do.

(Yes I’m a girl and carry a knife daily.)
