I own a Tenacious, a Para2 and a Manix 2. Actually more than 1 of all of these. I once felt that the Para2 and Tenacious were somewhat interchangeable but I've found that the handle of the Tenacious is just a bit short for me. This doesn't bother me though, I'm happy with the Para 2 just like it is.

That way you have both knives remaining in the fleet. It would have made a nice user for me. However, Mr. G, said that it was not going to happen since the maker couldn't assure consistent HT. That's probably the only other iteration of the tenacious that I would have gone for.
Post by zhyla » Wed Feb 11, am ? Why pick a steel with such an involved heat treat process? There aren't really any budget entries into the plain carbon steel folder market. DLC or any of a dozen other carbon steels might float some peoples boats. I don't see any reason to move production other than steel choice. But I suspect China will step that up at some point.
Pretty good price tag for what you get too. Is there any other reason necessary? Besides, who said that needs an involved process? My blacksmith, using the most primitive tools except a grinder , forges and heat treats steel routinely. His knives might not be as hard as knife blades from the big 3 but they do work and work well enough that a lot of cooks and restos here are his customers.
If I had to guess, I'd say the process is not the difficulty but the consistency. But what do I know? I just use the knives. Post by Evil D » Thu Feb 12, am I like how the edge goes all the way to the handle, but the rest is pretty boring to me. If they had better steel I may warm up to it. Post by SpeedHoles » Thu Feb 12, pm I thought I remember vaguely reading about there being a nearby Carpenter factory in China and the possibility of getting more variety of steels into those Chinese models The trademarked round hole is the most recognizable feature of a Spyderco knife and it facilitates the easy opening and closing of these knives with one hand while also offering convenient access and maximum control while opening as well as accommodating large, small or gloved hands.

Russell Hunter Scalpel. Add to cart. Spyderco In , Spyderco ventured into the world of knife making by introducing their first folding knife, the C01 Worker. Spyderco Tenacious - I couldn't be more pleased; It is a well made, easily deployed and even attractive piece; as good as my every day Benchmade, and at half the price.
I love the 4 way clip, as I won't carry a blade unless the clip is in the proper position. And one thing that I really like, the blade shape. I like it far far better than the standard Spyderco leaf bade.
I would love a Spyderco kitchen knife set from the same alloy. Today, I am privileged to enjoy the interesting design, fit and finish of Spyderco knives, old and new, from Golden, Taiwan, Japan, Italy and even one from Switzerland.
Have you joined Knife Rights yet? I love all of the "Value Folders", they are indeed a great value, and tough well-made knives. Post by Mako » Fri Sep 23, pm While I prefer the quality of Spyderco's higher end models, I appreciate the value and quality of the China made models and enjoy using my two Tenacious models quite a bit. I recently spent two months touring manufacturing facilties in Shanghai medical devices. While there I also chanced upon one of the biggest cutlery retail stores I've seen by US standards.
I only wish I had more time to browse and examine the goods at the store, but alas I was on a tight business agenda. I can tell you the store was packed, and local customers seemed more interested in scissors and kitchen cutlery. I've never seen such a wide variety of high quality scissors.
The couple of premium folding knives I had the chance to handle were excellent by any standard, but only made for their domestic market and branded under Chinese names which I could neither read or prounouce. So I know first hand the Chinese are already producing cutlery as fine as Taichung, Seki, and Golden. It's only a matter of time before we see the premium stuff come here.
Or maybe its already here, but I don't keep track of brands other than Spyderco. Good to hear I think I will order one and give my first Spyderco a shot. Have been looking for one for a while but over is generally out of my price range being a full time college student.
Of note while looking up lower cost but good quality knives I found the larger manufacturers 4 of them that most likely make them in china.
