The knife has quite a few advantages, but the type of steel does not fully match the current price. The handle scales are made from pleasant-to-the-touch G10. It's not bad, but at the moment, it's a bit too expensive for my valuation.

Spyderco Tenacious 8Cr13MoV Folding Knife
Medium-sized folding utility knife, ideal for everyday carry. Provides outstanding value for the price—highly recommended!
Blade made of 8Cr13MoV steel, liner lock
The blade sports a profile that sits between a Drop-Point and a Clip-Point, crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel (comparable to Aus8). This steel offers easy sharpening, solid edge retention, and excellent resistance to corrosion. Featuring a full flat grind, the blade is equipped with a thumb hole, enabling convenient ambidextrous opening. Bronze washers on the pivot ensure an exceptionally smooth deployment of the blade. Secure locking in the open position is provided by a classic liner lock mechanism.
G10 scales
A robust framework of hardened stainless steel forms the core of the knife handle, with scales crafted from durable G10 glass-epoxy composite and secured by torx screws. An ergonomically contoured handle, combined with an anti-slip texture, guarantees a secure grip in various conditions. For optimal everyday portability, the handle features a resilient, reversible clip (4 positions), making it easy to attach the knife to a belt or pocket edge.

Militaria.pl is a premium dealer of Spyderco.
Spyderco is an American company from Golden, Colorado, founded in 1976 by Sal and Gail Glesser. The brand's beginnings are connected with the invention of the "Portable Hand," which gave rise to the company name, and in 1978 it introduced the innovative Tri-Angle Sharpmaker® sharpener. The breakthrough came in 1981 with the launch of the C01 Worker knife - the world's first model with a carry clip, the distinctive Spyderhole, and a SpyderEdge serrated blade. Spyderco was also a pioneer in the use of new materials - it was the first to introduce CPM S60V powder steel and fully stainless H-1 steel into production, intended for use in marine environments. For years, the brand has collaborated with respected knifemakers, including Al Mar, Ernest Emerson, and Marcin Slysz, creating unique models that have achieved iconic status. The stylized spider-shaped logo symbolizes both the company's beginnings and Spyderco's values - precision, innovation, and high performance.

8Cr13MoV (8Cr13)
8Cr13MoV (8Cr13) is a Chinese stainless steel equivalent to Japanese AUS-8 steel. It offers a good balance between corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and edge retention. The carbon content (approximately 0.8%) affects the hardness of the steel, while chromium (13%) provides very good corrosion and abrasion resistance. Additions of molybdenum (0.3%), vanadium (up to 0.2%), manganese (0.5%), and silicon (0.4%) improve abrasion resistance and the stability of the steel structure. 8Cr13MoV is often used in the production of knives, including by companies such as Spyderco and Benchmade, which manufacture in China. After proper heat treatment, 8Cr13MoV steel achieves a hardness of 56-58 HRC, which makes it a material with good cutting properties, easy to sharpen, and relatively resistant to wear.
G10
G10 is a lightweight and extremely durable material, considered one of the best for knife production. It is created by pressure-pressing fiberglass with phenolic resin, which gives it high durability and resistance to mechanical damage. It is chemically inert, does not conduct electricity, and retains its properties at both low and high temperatures. In terms of parameters, it is similar to carbon fiber, but its production is much cheaper. G10 handles are manufactured by precision cutting and cutting, which increases the cost of processing but ensures a perfect fit and long knife life.

Review summary
Automatically prepared based on reviews
Spyderco Tenacious stands out as one of the top-rated EDC knives in its price range. Users praise its build quality, comfortable G10 handle, secure grip, and reliable lock. The knife feels good in the hand, is easy to sharpen, and maintains its edge well. The full flat grind and versatile blade shape make it ideal for daily tasks, while its distinctive design and ergonomics add to its appeal. The multi-position clip provides carrying flexibility, though some note it may cause wear on pockets. The 8Cr13MoV steel is considered adequate for everyday use and easy to sharpen, although some would prefer higher-grade steel at this price. Despite being manufactured in China, its workmanship matches that of more expensive models. A few users report minor factory defects or feel the price is slightly high, but the majority of reviews are overwhelmingly positive. The model is highly recommended, especially for those seeking their first reliable everyday knife.

M... Review confirmed by purchase
The knife is quite okay. Basically, it was my first Spyderco. However, it didn't win me over. Of course, it's a budget version, but a knife for this price should work smoothly out of the box. Meanwhile, it operated very stiffly and something seemed to creak. Knife oil didn't help. I decided to return it and buy something else. But besides that, it's sharp and has no play.

Great quality for a budget Spyderco folder. The G10 scales improve the grip, the steel is quite decent and easy to sharpen. This is a very good option for people looking for their first proper knife.
-
Ergonomic handle. The finish quality is on the level of Spyderco. The blade is made from Chinese steel commonly used for kitchen knives in the Far East (for better steel, Spyderco charges much more). The lock holds securely and the texture of the scales along with their shape ensures a firm grip. Highly recommended for everyday use. The very strong clip combined with the scale texture causes wear to pants at the attachment spot. Owning another knife from a reputable company brings joy from using a proven tool.

Very good knife at a good price. Although it’s made in China, there’s nothing to complain about. Spyderco even defends itself at this price. Of course, if it's Tenacious then only with G10 handle scales. The versions of Tenacious with lightweight handles do not feel as good in hand nor do they look as good.

One of the better knives in this price range. Highly recommend!
-
A class of its own.

My first Spyderco. Very good quality, first impressions are great, and the original design also appealed to me.

My first expensive knife. I bought it because I fell in love when I saw it. I’ve had it for a very long time. And I still love it. Discussions about steel, etc. are funny to me. I recommend it.

The ideal knife for EDC.

Great product, perfect 100%.
