There's something to be said about supersteels and exotic materials and collectibility, but at the end of the day, it's all about getting the task done, no matter the tool's price point. So for Thrifty Thursday, we're highlighting the Spyderco Tenacious, the well-deserved recipient of popularity and praise from beginners to knife nuts alike. The Tenacious was made to provide just about everything that made a Spyderco knife great for EDC at a much more accessible price point than many other Spyderco models. While it was a budget knife, it punched above its weight, making it a strong value for the money that was hard to ignore. At 3.39” long, the 8Cr13MoV edge gave you more than enough cutting power to act as your daily driver, and the use of that imported steel both made the Tenacious cheaper to own and easier to maintain compared to the more premium blades in their line. The moderate size of the knife is matched by the approximately 4.5” handle, big enough for you to get a firm grip on it during use and augmented with aggressive and grippy G-10 nylon scaling for the ultimate in control. For a budget knife, the Spyderco Tenacious, to this day, offers plenty to be excited about. Check it out at the link below.

One of the favorites in my current rotation. Perfect size for EDC, super smooth and satisfyingly loud "clunk" when snapped open with the thumbhole. I wish more manufacturers would add a bigger variety of flat grinds to their lineups.
