Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight Black FRN Satin Partially Serrated C122PSBK

A stalwart of the Spyderco budget line, the ever popular Tenacious is now being produced in a lightweight FRN version. Even though it’s one of the least expensive models from Spyderco, a lot of effort was made to keep the value high. The lightweight FRN version reduces the knife by 10% while maintaining the same functional and ergonomic design and liner lock construction. This version comes with black FRN and a satin finished, partially serrated edge.

Brand new, direct from Spyderco Knives.

Blade: A trademark leaf shaped blade with RoundHole allows for easy deployment on phosphor bronze washers and is flat ground for superior slicing ability. Made of stainless steel for easy maintenance, the blade is satin finished for a classy look and takes a razor sharp edge with minimal effort. The plain section makes clean cuts while the serrated section makes short work of fibrous materials. The blade rises above the handle when deployed and makes a natural thumb ramp with aggressive jimping for added control.

Handle: An open back construction with stainless steel spacers allows for easy cleaning and maintenance. Skeletonized stainless steel liners support lightweight, durable and weather resistant fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN) scales attached with Torx screws. The FRN scales are molded with Spyderco’s Bi-Directional texturing offering unparalleled traction for security during use in the most adverse conditions. The front scale has a relief cutout in the handle for access to a jimped liner lock for easy operation and added security in the hand. A generous hole is provided for lanyard attachment.

Carries via a four position stainless steel pocket clip for ambidextrous carry.

8Cr13MoV: Similar to Japanese AUS-8, 8Cr13MoV is a low carbon, high chromium stainless steel with an excellent balance of toughness and strength. It offers good corrosion resistance and is capable of acquiring a razor sharp edge. Edge holding is significantly lower than S30V but close to 440C. Sharpening should be a breeze.
