Thje irony with your comment is that it is initially more expensive to do a FRN version, because making the molds are way more expensive to make than to waterjet some G10. FRN is only cheaper if you use the mold in several batches of knives.
@@kaizoebara Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and guess a slightly cheaper tenacious is gonna sell gangbusters for spyderco, especially now that they're doing multiple blade steels with it
I've always enjoyed knives but haven't had anything good, just cheap things with an edge. Recently though I decided to start collecting a bit, and picked up a tenacious & a civivi elementum. The two knives couldn't be more different, & I wanted to see which I liked more so I'd know which direction to head collecting-wise. Definitely going the spyderco direction, I absolutely love the tenacious & can't wait to get some of their other knives!
Yep, the Persistance is the one that is comparable in size to the Delica I think. Honestly, I really like the shape of this knife, I just don't care for the scales or the blade steels they use in it. The recently announced Tenacious Lightweight Blue in S35VN is interesting, but it still has the bleh FRN scales. Obviously Spyderco likes the shape of the blade and handle as it is nearly identical to their Mule Team Knife Template.
@@jeremywang9148 So many... Benchmade Anthem, Monterey Bay Knives XLC, TRM Atom, ZT 0562Ti, Hinderer Jurassic. I like a lot of them. I can't pick a favorite.
Also, the most important question regarding your move: Which knives will be used in facilitating this process? I'm assuming the Skrama is an excellent choice when whacking down fenceposts. But what do I know, I mostly use my Skrama to play knight and slay small trees whilst on dog-walks. I call that hard use.
@@lionknives3 go to there website its there. think it was like 140 or 150 so ugh way to much for a plastic knife even if that is msrp the market price still going to be around 100
@@bigsean2473 hey Sean, thank you. But the Tenacious is not really for me. I have large hands and I don't like the design to be honest. It was a recommendation for our other Knive buddy. Greetings from Austria. And it should cost just 70-80 bucks in my opinion. Everything else is way too much.
@@lionknives3 yes u are correct on that price. they are way to much. i wish there would come a day when a lot more realize this so prices will go down. until their sales dip buy a major percent it wont happen
Congrats on the move!!! I know a great Australian realtor that I grew up with (I’m a realtor as well and I can say that I look up to her greatly - she’s very good and very sweet). Hey congrats and I hope that any of the stress is overlooked by the fact that you’re making a move and it won’t be packing and unpacking forever! I hope you love your new place, and that the kids are stoked for a new place !! Riiiiihht onnnnn!!!!
I do not have a tenacious; however, i have to say that of all of spyderco's production folders, i think the tenacious has the absolute best blade design that makes it a usable hunting folder. The way the edge curves up near the tip to have an angle of 45* + between the handle and tip's edge would make it very usable in the field for skinning or dressing game. I just can't get past the liner lock. I hate liner locks and that alone is a complete deal breaker. However, if somebody wanted a nice folding hunter with great steel for a budget price, the s35vn tenacious would be hard to beat. Otherwise, i'll stick to the pile of Manix 2's i keep in my knife drawer for EDC use, with the odd PM2, Police, Endura, etc. and stick with a Benchmade Super Freek or Mini Super Freek which features similarly useful blade design for a folding hunter. Yes, Uncle Randy, I've got a 110 folding hunter, too....
Tenacious Heavyweight was my first spyderco and It started my love affair. I still carry the Tenacious and Resilience regularly. They're just good "budget" knives. My Tenacious was $31usd any my Resilience was $20. Total steal!
A frn handle is poured and pressed to shape. A g10/micarta handle has to be sculpted to shape. I can make a replacement set of g10 scales for a knife. I doubt I can make a frn set of scales. Also g10 and micarta have a "feel" to them and depending on the finish it can be different. Frn looks and feels the same. That's why I prefer g10. That said I'd take frn over stainless steel or aluminum handle in a heartbeat.
I had a tenacious when they first came out as my first spyderco. I recently purged most of my collection and wound up buying a delica and endura which, for actual use and carry, are near perfect for me.
Pro tip from an ex cook in the kitchen - if you take your hand and place it flat on top of the cherry tomatoes, take a long blade that’s either very sharp, or serrated, and you cut from right to left , you can cut the tomatoes all at once, if you prefer. Think about it as keeping the tomatoes from rolling, and then cutting them horizontally, making it faster (when you have to cut thousands under a time constraint, this is how we cut in the kitchen). But then you can’t use the tenacious - not judging anyone’s cutting style or cooking methods because over the years I’ve actually tried to mimic some of your dishes - you guys eat extremely well (maybe it’s because im American , but in Ca we like to stay health oriented when we can!!) you’d fit in nicely here in Cali!!!
Spydercos are HIDEOUS! Thank you for outing it! I understand they're functional and good quality knives, but my god i'd rather cut my fingers off blindfolded using this knife, than look at it!!!
It will be nice if You make comparison between tenacious and kershaw cqc-10k cutting abilities, they use the sam steel to same hardness diapason. Just a suggestion.
My preferred cheap-ish everyday Spyderco is the Alcyone instead (the smaller brother to the Polestar). Very attractive looking with the grey/blue G10, and the BD1 steel is honestly a steel I wouldn't mind on all knives under $80 or so. Couldn't be happier with the steel (in this price range). And It's a Sal design so it has that basic Spyderco feel.
I was underwhelmed by my Tenacious. But I went out of order, got the Tenacious after a Chaparral, Manix2, PM2, Para3, Native5, and the Delica. Maybe I would love her like my Chaparral if she was my first.
I always see you cutting that awesome cheese in your videos what kind of cheese and brand is that i need some it looks like cheddar but you can't just buy bricks like that in America I wish you could though
The reason this knife is so popular is it has made it to the sacred lands, the hallowed halls of the top shelf in the Wallmart knife display case. Where any name brand knife that resides there becomes immortal. Why do you think knives like the RAT 1, kershaw leek and the king of kings the buck 110 are so long lived? Quality? No. It's where the majority of knife noobs take the plunge and spend over $20 on a knife. Thus they are marked for knife life, the budget path of the RAT, the middle way of the leek or the hipsters route of the tenacious. Or the long, dark road of the fallen king the 110.
I heard that mild reference to "hand sharpening" GOOD FOR YOU, all the systems are fine, but they do little to further skill level and relation from metal to abrasive, cool
Seriously 😒. What a tease showing Bricky throughout the video. I guess he has no interest in the Tenacious. I picked one up at Walmart for USD 25. A very good knife at that price but not worth more than 40 imo.
I am nominating you for a golden globe ... or youtubey if there is such a thing. Tenacious -sold, 8CR - nevermind. Can't wait to see the new knife lab !
The sarcasm is so thick in the beginning that you could cut it with a Medford.
I think it was so thick, not even Medfort would mke a "knife" out ofit
Ahahahah for sure!!
Shots fired
I’m not sure why spyderco didn’t opt for the wire clip, could’ve saved another couple of grams there for sure. Guess they didn’t want to make it dangerously light lol
With a wire clip there is a very real risk of this ultra lightweight knife just floating away 😂
@Heretobenosey- 😂 great comment in addition to being a great insight. I love deep carry pocket clips and really dislike the standard clip.
Because the wire is trash.
I guess calling it "lightweight" is more marketable than "cheaper version"
It's more expensive where I live lol, £7 more than the G-10 version from our countries top Spyderco dealer. Heinnie Haynes.
More like a "FRN version" ... Definitely just riding the coattails of the Para 3 Lightweight which is much more compelling and an ACTUAL lightweight.
Thje irony with your comment is that it is initially more expensive to do a FRN version, because making the molds are way more expensive to make than to waterjet some G10. FRN is only cheaper if you use the mold in several batches of knives.
@@kaizoebara Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and guess a slightly cheaper tenacious is gonna sell gangbusters for spyderco, especially now that they're doing multiple blade steels with it
The shit's still more expensive than the original price before the fifty price hikes 🤣
A new house in the country! Congrats.
I can see the new owners of your house, every day, for the next 5 years: "What the ever loving f*** is with these rope fibers?! They're everywhere!!!"
Congratulations the purchase of the home and land. Wishing you many years of happiness.
LOL, that running bit brah, that's some funny ruto'n
YESSS, those Byrd knives look horrendous!
If Elon starts making his rockets out of Sypderco FRN we'll be on Mars tomorrow
He can go to Mars with his junky Teslas and stay there!
Pete I find if you tie a string to it you can keep it from floating away, I'm fairly sure that's what lanyard means.
This being a knife channel, you could've... instead of saying you were putting up fences, you could say you were "practicing your fencing".
Looks wise, it can be described as "quintessential Spyderco". I mean, it looks very similar to Manix 2.

Deja Vu made me laugh so hard! The knife review is genuinely good too. Love content like this. You definitely deserve more subscribers!
“The knife equivalent of a redhead?” BRILLIANT! This video was just fun to watch. Keep up the great work, man!
Twelve grams in the title. I said to myself, "What's all this here then? That Knife Lab fella is performing some kind of alchemy modification!"
I've been buying knives for over 50 years. 10 seems insignificant but the last 30 years have been amazing in the knife world.
What’s your favourites so far?
@@jeremywang9148 So many... Benchmade Anthem, Monterey Bay Knives XLC, TRM Atom, ZT 0562Ti, Hinderer Jurassic. I like a lot of them. I can't pick a favorite.

Oh Yes! They now offer them in S35VN. A nice upgrade. (2022)
Hey Pete! Spyderco released the Spyderco Tenacious lightweight with s35vn and blue frn!
As someone who doesnt have a Tenacious yet but loves its hand feel, you dont have to guess twice what i will get as soon as it comes out
@@AYellowPepper ok. Hope you will have a great time with it! I want to see the price on it.

I loved my polestar but a guy from a spyderco group got his knife stolen from his work bag sink gave it to him . I will be getting the s35vn version .
With a glowing recommendation like that, I don't see how I can avoid buying one.

Congratulations on the new house!!
And I will never get the image of you running out of my head!
The bird holes make me think of....leprosy. 😂🤣 you just made me smile and laugh out loud. THANKS
I honestly think Spyderco knives are the BEST looking knives
i used to hate them. like really hated on their style 10 years ago. but suddenly i think regular folders dont look right
FRN scales make great toilet paper if hiking in the woods. Just rinse it off at the next stream. Very handy.
A frn handle is poured and pressed to shape. A g10/micarta handle has to be sculpted to shape. I can make a replacement set of g10 scales for a knife. I doubt I can make a frn set of scales. Also g10 and micarta have a "feel" to them and depending on the finish it can be different. Frn looks and feels the same. That's why I prefer g10. That said I'd take frn over stainless steel or aluminum handle in a heartbeat.
Congrats Pete! I’m happy for you and your family
Spyderco just revealed a S35VN version of the Tenacioul LW, you dont have to guess twice what i will buy once that hits the shelfs.
But will it be heat treated in China?
@@troyounce3295 i agree. im curious about that
Congrats on your citation in Knife Engineering... and of course great to see your data validated like this
I had a tenacious when they first came out as my first spyderco. I recently purged most of my collection and wound up buying a delica and endura which, for actual use and carry, are near perfect for me.
I thought I was the only person that doesn't mind frn. Have you ever handled the civivi wyvern, it's an frn masterpiece.
The purple pants are back!
I hope you and your family will be very happy in your new home!
"So I upgraded the shelf. Welcome to my knife room."

After carrying a leatherman for awhile, pocket knives aren't felt in my pocket at all. Funny video man I love the content
12 grams of water was funny. Thank you for a good laugh.
Been wanting one of these in a good steel for ever. Looking forward to the S35vn one.
It will be nice if You make comparison between tenacious and kershaw cqc-10k cutting abilities, they use the sam steel to same hardness diapason. Just a suggestion.
Using Basil as packing material... Brilliant!

Waaahooo! Congrats Pete very cool.
deja vu played and i absolutely lost my shit!! good on ya bruv keep up the uploads when you can plz.
But but, I always really liked the spyderco design 🥺
Congrats on your impending upgrade, Pete. Hope you have a smooth move. Keep the profanity rolling!!! 🤘
Congratulations for the house!
Lost it at thew Naruto running. Such class! So much grace!
Hey man, congratulations and good luck on your new move. Also. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Man I love your humour keep the vids coming man
i like the looks...i think it's beautiful, but i understand your point of view...
Wonderfull food prep knife
Great video as always. Good luck with the move!
The new s35v tenacious should be interesting
Pete, there at the first part I thought you had gone over the edge but good review and congratulations on the move.
intermittent knife bro, subscribed!
That high friction block of cheese!
Gave me a good chuckle, great vid pete.

Hahaha I laughed so hard when you ran around like naruto. Love this episode!
Can't wait to see the new knife lab !!
Good luck with the move !!
Sick Naruto run man and congrats on the house purchase
Wish they did an exclusive with ome upgraded steel. Nice model.
No matter how nice the Byrd series may seem, I totally agree with you about the teardrop thumb hole being completely hideous.
Favorite part of the review was the Basil bit at the end.
Always good to see basil
Thumbs Up! You had me Naruto...
Great review. Which fixed blade is that you were carrying.
Congrats on the move man. Diggin the shirt too.
Please detailed video of you installing the new toilet seat.
I like the tenacious ... But its bit large I like the manix 2 or less
I always liked the blade shape of the Tenacious, I wish they would make it in S30V.....👍🛠🖖
They've just released one in s45. I think it's around $100
I always see you cutting that awesome cheese in your videos what kind of cheese and brand is that i need some it looks like cheddar but you can't just buy bricks like that in America I wish you could though
Tenacious lightweight: when knife makers take Nick Shabazz saying their 4 oz knife is heavy to heart.
Fantastic as always!
Better with each épisode ! Keep on, thks!
You should test Spydercos 8cr13, in tests I've seen it perfumed much better than Kershaw and other brands 8cr13.

Unrelated question. What is your thoughts on spy27. Have you done a cut start on it
In the UK the lightweight is actually more expensive than the G-10 version, no clue why.
G10 model = £59
lightweight model = £66
Reasons.
Remember to take your best friend the brick with you mate.
The lack of bricky input displeases me
Seriously 😒. What a tease showing Bricky throughout the video. I guess he has no interest in the Tenacious.
I picked one up at Walmart for USD 25. A very good knife at that price but not worth more than 40 imo.
Wow, I want one with that detent.
oh wow i just realized its heavier than a manix 2 lightweight tats around 85-86 grams
Made me do the hahas
What the cinnomon toast fuck was that introduction.

They’re planning on releasing a S35VN version soon. But for about $100.
I expect lots of prepping videos from the hole you're digging
