- I'm doing a short series on all the knives I've had extensive time and experience with to let you guys know how they held up. This one is on the Spyderco Tenacious. I've had it for nearly four years and it is used almost everyday in my kitchen along with other duties.
Hope you enjoy the series. - บันเทิง
I like the idea of a long term use review, there aren't enough of these! Well done.
I bought one of these about 6 months ago and I'm now a dedicated spyderco fan. I'm a mechanic who does custom accessories on ATVs and lives on a farm. My knives get used, abused, and lost and they all break sooner or later no matter how pricey so I dont see the need to spend more than $40 on an EDC knife. I've carried just about every brand and this knife has held up the best by far. I use the crap out of it and it still locks up nice and tight, holds a razor sharp edge, and is very comfortable
I just bought one. How long have you had yours for and how long before you had to sharpen it?
Lockdown spinning you have to sharpen yours every second?
Lockdown spinning right on! Gotcha
@Lockdown spinning Its made in China as well. Its still a good knife but yeah not American made.
Mine just came today!!! For a budget Spyderco, im loving it so far!!! Also got two Civivi knives today!!!!😃
Thanks, long term reviews are great. Nice to see you acually use your knives. Been wanting to buy one of these for awhile. If you want to get all of the rust off try soaking it in vinager overnight. :)
Currently my EDC knife and I love the hell out of it! This knife is so strong and sharp, its going to be hard to find a knife that can replace it as my EDC.
I have had the same knife for 3 years and I love it
2019, still hoping he cleaned it.
2022 still hoping he cleaned it
2024 still hoping he cleaned it
Great idea for a review series! Thanks for sharing.
I have a CRKT Pilar, a Kershaw Shuffle 1, a Ka-Bar Folding Hunter, a Spyderco Tenacious, a Benchmade Bugout, a Kershaw Cryo, and an old serrated police Spyderco Delica, and that Spyderco Tenacious is a great knife, obviously the Bugout is my favorite but that Tenacious along with Pilar are amazing work knives. Great review, very helpful
All great knives!
Thanks for great info. Am waiting my new Tenacious to arrive any day now. Would love to see a video on how to break one down and clean /service it properly .
You are correct sir. I've enjoyed several lower priced Spyderco knifes for some time.
Matter of fact I am having a Tenacious pimped by a really great pimper at this very time. I am really looking forward to getting it back. Thanks for a true and accurate review. M... (tooz)
I've had mine for about a month, a friend ordered one on amazon and they accidentally sent him two so he sold me the second for ~$20! Really happy with it so far, its really smooth and seems to cut everything like butter. And after seeing this review 4 years out, I'm even more excited about it. Thanks for the review
I just picked this knife up recently, I decided to get another Spyderco knife because my Dragonfly 2 has held up so well after 6 years of abuse, I’ve literally cut hundreds of cardboard boxes up with it, it’s got VG-10 steel and holds an edge ok, not as good as my other knives with S-30V blades, I don’t mind lower quality steel because they do sharpen up faster and easier, S-30V takes quite a bit to bring the edge back, D-2 is also a good choice, my Benchmade is D2, but I’m liking this inexpensive Spyderco Tenacious, feels good in the hand and nice blade design
good review. My daily carry knife may vary. Currently, it is between a fully serrated Spyderco Police, early model, and an early model plaint edge Endura that I modified.
That's why you don't let people that are not into knives use your knives. When someone asks to use one of my knives I want to know what they will be using it for before handing it to them.
FoxMulder503 so true, i don't even hand over my knife anymore I'll just do it my self.
I hate the people that use a knife like a screwdriver >:C
I want to believe.... that they will use the knives properly
FoxMulder503 trust no one, the truth is out there man.... I want to believe 🤘
Yep true story. Let a buddy use my $70 crkt and the tip was dinged up when he brought it back. Basically pressed it against a hardend steel lock :'(
A great edc knife !! Awesome Video!
Just bought my first one and hope to get many years out of it. Seems like a very good blade so far
It'll last 👍
The Ambitious is what started me into knives again.
I just got one about a week ago and I've been opening and closing it alot well watching tv and my is super smooth but my brother also got one when I did and his is pretty stiff I'm not sure if its becuase he hasn't messed around with his enough to make it smooth or if his came with a pivot screw that is too tight.
Oh yeah I actually wanted one from a while ago. I still want to try it.
Thx for the long term use video, I wish more people would do that. I'm picking up a Manix 2 tomorrow for the Xmas holidays as a gift to myself, but debating on picking up a cheaper edc so as not to thrash that nice knife, LOL. thx again.
Just got one at big 5 for 60 bucks...big difference in price now. I went there a couple days ago and got a kershaw link blade was in 420 hc, big time dis. I traded it in for the tenacious and can feel the better quality in this knife. Kershaw is excellent and was just pissed at the guy that sold it to me and went with spyderco.
Just bought mine today!
I just got my tenancious today! it's really an awesome knife. the only problem i'm having is, it won't deploy FAST as yours. I can't flick it open. any chance mine is defective? not broken in yet? I notice, there's a little ball bearing that may be stopping it from deploying from flicking it. think you can give me advice?
Just work the blade open and closed a lot before mine got stolen i had it just like this one nice and easy to deploy
agood down to earth presentation like to hear more from this party dennis
lock up is pretty good so for have not had a chance to give it a good test out like some my cold steel knives that were in similar price. So far feels pretty strong good G10 handle
I'm just sitting here in aww that you call that your food prep knife. Haha. Cool vid bro
Got one a few weeks ago at Wal-Mart of all places for$37.00!!! The Cheapest I could find it online was on Amazon for $48.00!!! Haven't used it much but it's very sharp and light.
Man when I got it I paid 30. Price has got up 👆
Good review, i'm looking for my firs Spyderco and maybe this is hehe thanks, greetins from Argentina.
Nice video man,but i have q question.Its about mine that doesnt stop Squeaking,i know that it is from the detent ball rubbing against the blade but dont really know what to do. Even oiling didnt really help.Any ideas ?
That might be something you have to send in for warranty. Only thing I can think of is polishing the blade or inside of handle yourself may help it.
It might be your linerlock scraping against your blade as it opens. Try holding your liner lock open and see if your blade moves smoothly. After repeated openings my gets sticky against the liner lock but the copper bushings always stay smooth. Unfortunately I really have no ideas how to fix this or why it worsens the more you open and close it. Fortunately it's not really an issue in regular use.
April 28th, 2015, how's she holding up?
What is the name of the sharpener you used in this video for sharpening tenacious knife??
Spyderco sharpmaker.
You should check out the Polestar, it kind of looks like the Tenacious - except it has a better blade steel. It's only $15 - $20 more than the Tenacious.
Just wondering, how is the lock up on your Tenacious? I have one in black and it fails with a LIGHT hit to a hard surface. I don't know if I got a defect or not but I may try another soon.
+Evan Padilla Mines solid even after all this time. No play if I have it screwed in right.
Mine is in black, but it's pretty new, although I haven't had the slightest problem. Send Spiderco an Email about it.
I would say you got a bad egg. I’ve used and abused mine for 2 or 3 years(I keep it clean but I’m not gentle with it lol) and the lock on it is still great. Solid knife, I would intact Spyderco if I was in your position. Just my 2 cents
Hey, I'm looking for some information on what the best knife would b in terms of size for carrying. I have always heard great things about Spyderco so I thought I get one for a new carry. However, I looked online to see the dimensions for the tenacious and its quite large. Is there a smaller knife made by spyderco that is a good reasonable size?
Try a delica 4.
A really great and honest review. Thanks for sharin!
One of the screw threads on the pocket clip of my Tenacious is completely worn after my first attempt to re-position the clip. Now I have no idea how to remove the screw - suggestions, anyone?
I'm super late on this video, but I do just want to say great job on the 4yr review. I just picked this awesome blade up 9/18 and I'm super happy with it. I'm glad someone did a review on this knife after yrs of use it still looks like a great blade! I don't abuse my knifes but I do use them every day for differnt things and I'm happy that this blade held up to the punishment you put it thro lol. For a sub 40 knife I know now I didn't go wrong!!! Thanks again for your review and I did just sub your channel
Gary Allen it is a great value for sure! Thanks for the comment and sub!
I have had the the black blade tenacious for my edc beater for about . Love it and abuse it. Have the Delica4 SS engraved as my 2nd edc (I carry 2 for my job) that I only use when I need a better/sharper blade. Love em both! Great review btw
Jon Look nice. The black holds up OK surprisingly on some blades
Great concept for a review series. Amazing to see a knife at this price hold up so well. Spyderco does great work.
I kinda want one of those too.
bought it and gotta say it just grew on me... great sharpness right out of the box and feels good in the hand... definitely a great price for a very useful blade
Dude Please clean this beautiful blade sometime
It’s a working knife, not pocket jewelry.
@@AlergicToSnow can't expect a tool to take care for you if you don't take care of it. Saying a knife doesn't need maintenance just because it's considered a masculine thing is ridiculous, not to mention stupid.
Emir Šehić he’s not saying it as a masculine thing dummy, he’s saying not all of us have the time or want to go sharpen a knife that was just made to be used
I have the same problem with my left thumb nail, but worse, and it stays growing like that
Saw this and thought “Wow, he’s had this a while!” Then I saw the upload date 😅
Good idea, after yrs. of use how is the product holding up.
+MegaLaidback Watch the video...thats what it was about
ima get this knife and my addiction started about 2 months ago i have 8 knives now and still buying i want to get this knife for my first rlly nice edc im 14 but not an idiot one who would bring it to school im responsible and all but thank you for the long term review
Brodrick Olson have yet to meet a responsible 14 year old
Are you a responsible 20 year old now
Looking to purchase a spyderco tenacious at my local bass pro shops but is listed for $79.99 and with taxes it comes to around 90 bucks and I'm wondering if i should buy it online because its about 40 bucks cheaper help? Is it really worth $90? Even if i have two $25 dollar gift cards?
Pie Flavor Get it online, save your gift cards for flies or whatever else.
I did the exact same thing. Had a $50 gift card and bought it at bass pro for way too much money. I still absolutely love my tenacious but I wish I woulda just bought some ammunition or something lol
Hello everyone, I have a question. I am in New Jersey and I would like to ask what the legal carry law is for New Jersey? I have tried searching online but was unable to find out an answer. If anyone can provide a response I will highly appreciate it. Thank you so much.
B4 freedomfighter Which is absolutely ludacris considering open carry gun laws! Knives can't kill someone from across the street but there are places we can't carry. I have nothing against the gun laws but we need an NRA for knife carriers.
Why would you use a folding knife for food prep ? Try a chefs knife .
CPlatzinSac Chef knife is superior. We just use this in a pinch.
I use my tenacious all the time in the kitchen. I used it today to eat my steak. I prefer my tenacious to a chef's knife or a pairing knife. The handle is so much more comfortable and with the ffg it was meant to be a slicer. Don't knock it till you try it.
Samson DubV Fair enough .

Really late to the video, but I just picked up a few of these to give to my coworkers who are constantly borrowing one of my Paramilitary 2s they really seem like great knives, obviously not on par with the PM2 but really good nonetheless.
true review
You should do an update on this knife
I have about 100 EDC type knives ranging from Spyderco Southard Flipper to CRKT Squid, and I'm going to tell you and everybody right now that the BEST knife for EDC purposes, bang for your buck or pound for pound if you will, is the Spyderco Tenacious.
seriously thinking about getting one of these now. I have been edcing a rat 1 for a month now and love it,your comment kinda drove the idea home for me.Cant hurt to have a back up
i just got one to replace my Benchmade AFCK and it is pretty good as an EDC. The AFCK is lighter and less bulky(opens better too) but they dont make them any more.
Just bought one ... my first spyderco
@@kenolson6098 a year later, how do you still like it?
Good knife for the price 👍🏻😀
just got my technicians Spyderco knife today I love it so much worth every penny
I keep looking for a reason to buy a knife (other than cool use/hidden weapon in case of a hold up), but I can't think of any. What are some good EDC reasons to use a knife like this? Because I'm trying to see what use they have beyond self-defense or perhaps an impromptu kitchen tool, lol.
+vgman94 Edged tool. Carry one for a month. Then you will find it hard to go without one.
***** Now I get what you mean. Great idea. I would like to be reminded of other reasons for it, though. It'd help with giving me a reason to buy a good knife.
+Uncle Nondo knifenuts unite!
+vgman94 You know those really dumb sealed plastic packages that things often come with that are impossible to open without something sharp? Those.
Also, I just started carrying a knife a few months ago, and now my pocket feels empty without one.
+vgman94 i agree with the previous comments. To add another reason, i would say food ! That's my main use. The knives i carry are not meant to be "tactical", but they are edged tools, and the thing you probably cut the most in your life is food, whether you cook or eat. This is why i mostly carry elegant french edc knives. They do any job i need on a regular day. Of course for harder tasks, i also have tougher knives. But, defend myself is the last reason why i carry a knife.
Sorry for my bad english, i'm French.
The blade types from the tenacious to the Osbourne is not comparable. They are totally different brackets of blades.
Wow. Thats dirty. Couldnt get past that. Some qtips and gun oil would go a long way.
Reading all the comments about food prep is the funniest shit, these people must just buy knives and store them in a closet instead of actually using them
That Aussie Bloke most ppl don't use their knives. Lol. But you do usually end up using a 30 dollar knife a lot
True. I was a dealer. Have over 100.
That's me. I actually use maybe four or five of them. Lol.
Boulder, Colorado on the box and China on the knife blade
Thanks. I got more in the works. But not that many knives I"ve owned for very long and used a lot.
I just got mine in the mail today and it is my most favorite edc knife ever!!
You'll probably end up getting the other ones in the series as well... haha.
FINALLY found one today. So glad a bought it.
I just got one today! Walmart $49,99! Best knife for the money. I will keep mine clean, and oiled though!
I bought one today for 39.99 Tucson az love it
Do u wanna sell the Osborne
you don't carry 2 knives? I usually carry 3; One in my key-chain (shitty knife that i use for stuff where you don't want to use good knifes) one on my neck (CRKT minimalist) and one in my pocket ( emerson kershaw). And I use all of them almost daily
Ordered one today with free shipping from bladehq.com. is there anything inparticular you would advise me not to do with this knife ?
I would not use it while masturbating. Other than that feel free to use as you wish.
The tenacious is also what got me back into spydercos.
Nice I just bought on for my dad science his dog fielder in really heavy and he doesn't like it
Franky Alvarez what?
Try lubing up the knife. You may need new copper washers and I use TUF-GLIDE.
But after 3 years and allot of abuse my knife still opens like new
Just bought one with a serrated edge. Cut myself within 15 minutes.Witched sharp!!
Just picked one up the other day good knife great price
can you show this blade now in 2020 ? :D :D
XD
2021 and still hoping he uses it but also cleans it.
I can't find it. I think bacteria ate it. LMAO!
Dude, send that Tenacious to me so it can be taken care of it like it deserves. I will send you a proper kitchen knife in return. Seriously.
Bro it's a knife that's what they're made for.
fonzie flores Knives are meant to cut things, not sit in dirty dish water for long periods and let them rust/corrode. That's called neglect. You take care of your stuff however you wish. I will take care of my stuff the way I see fit "bro". Stay safe out there.
GLOCKCOPG23 Then you just contradicted yourself fuck wad.
fonzie flores My statement was an observation of neglect. What exactly did I contradict? Never mind. Let's not go any further. I learned a long time ago not to argue with stupid people or women. By the way, you are a rude. Learn some manners and reading comprehension. Have a nice day.
You contradicted yourself by stating how he neglected his knife and how wrong it was then how i can take care how i want and you the same pretty much saying to each their own which was not your intentions in the original comments. PUSSYBOI.
Mine was knackered after 48 hours.
It's a really nice knife. I don't really use it since I got my spyderco sage 1 that is just amazing.
9 year update?
Possibly
I bought a $250 bench made folder years back and had the tip snap off randomly. I don’t know how, when or why. Just pulled it out one day and it was snapped. I’ll never buy a knife I intend on working with for over $60 again. A lot of them are like a Harley Davidson. Only paying for the name.
Budget instead of beating the Para 2.
Why is everyone so shocked that you've used this in the kitchen? It's an excellent slicing grind...
Cause people don't actually use their knives. They buy them, pretend they are survivalists, and then go criticize people on youtube. #facts
I see that carbon fiber Reps are almost here, but I am more interested in the original replicant. Are you guys releasing anything in the sub $300 range? Sorry, I'm sure you get more than enough of these questions.
mark h.contento yes more standards on the way as well! Thanks for your support
my tenacious blade is rubbing on the stainless liners
Get the spyderco spydiechef
I think the Persistence is the smaller version of this knife.
haha had mine for a lil more than 3 years always use mine for my bbqs, it even survived dragging across the street in my last moto accident with few scratches on the pocket clip and still did not come off my pocket
Everybody is talking the price is 30 bucks, and when I am about to buy one it costs at least 35 bucks, for me it is diference. When can I buy it?
Here in Poland the price is at least 60 bucks.
same in slovakia
in belgium too !!!
In sweden too
***** $36 on Amazon right now.
They have screw remover tools, but it's hardly worth spending more on the tool than what the knife is worth.
Leave the man alone. I personally use 2 Channellocks to rip up my steaks.
Cool vid...i still EDC my tenacious, a legendary knife
I love my Tenacious Black!
Now I really wanna see someone put their knife in the dishwasher xD
Knifezoid, I think you should carry two knives. It never hurts to carry two knives.
I usually have 3, 4 if you count the multi tool. 2 knives can't hurt, never leave home without a flash 1, and a multitool comes in handy...
Tim T. I completely agree. I carry 2. Both in my right front pocket even (1 in that little small pocket and then the larger tenacious in the main pocket) that way my phone doesn’t get scratched up in my left lol
It's $42.99 just bought one an hour ago lol
I got mine for almost double that price, because Switzerland. Fuck me.
@@thrownswordpommel7393 ooof
Great review but why use that knife for food prep? Get a kitchen knife for preparing food and keep this for everything else
It's six years after this video was made, could you do a 10 year review?
i got my 1st tenasious last week received 3 more i had just ordered dont worry about a little gunk 63% of americans get sick from unwashed fruits & vegies i lked your review
My absolute favorite Chinese-made knife.
the white stuff on ur knife is probably from hard water, get ur water checked....
or, it's salts from sweat...O_O
Or it's.... Nevermind
Noah Koenig ha
Or cocaine
@@bistermean7914 it's definitely cocaine. Mine is covered in it too
I'm never eating at your house...unless of course I develop a taste for botulism.
P.S. - Part of your knife seems to be growing on your hand.
