Spyderco Tenacious Knife Black Lightweight FRN, Black Spyder 8Cr13MoV by Eric Glesser (C122PSBBK)

The Tenacious Lightweight Black FRN, Black Combo, designed by Eric Glesser, is the most popular model in the Value Folder collection. Blade made of popular 8Cr13MoV stainless steel provides excellent sharpness and ease of sharpening. Handle made of durable FRN composite coated with Bi-Directional Texture™ offers a secure grip and resistance to damage. Thanks to its precision craftsmanship and the use of robust materials, this knife offers exceptional value for money. Its functionality and reliability will meet the expectations of even the most demanding users.

8Cr13MoV - an easy-to-sharpen stainless knife steel, equivalent to Japanese AUS-8 steel. A high content of 13.0% chromium (Cr) and an average of 0.8% carbon (C) provide excellent corrosion resistance, while the addition of the alloying elements molybdenum 0.30% (Mo), vanadium 0.25% (V) and nickel 0.20% (Ni) increase the steel's strength and wear resistance. 8Cr13MoV has a high hardness in the 57-62 HRC range.

Blade - with the company's Leaf-Shaped profile (leaf shape), coated in black. The partially serrated blade is derived with a Full Flat Grind. The enlarged 14mm round SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) makes it easier to open the folder with cold or wet hands. The notched section of the Blade's back, ramp (spine jimping) gives solid support for the thumb which makes it easier to operate the knife. The entire blade is locked with the proven Liner Lock.

SpyderEdge - (Spyderco patent) serrated blade usually has a few millimeters of smooth blade on the tip side. The Spyder blade consists of alternating one large and two small teeth, the so-called two-step. This pattern increases the length of the cutting edge by up to 24% compared to a straight blade. Ideal for cutting, inflicting deep wounds, cutting through hard materials including bone.

Skeleton - made of stainless steel, openwork for stress relief, which provides exceptional strength of construction, while forming the basis of Michael Walker's Liner Lock Blade locking mechanism with notched liner. The whole was bolted together with torx screws for easy unfolding and folding of the folder.

Handle - non-slip,bi-directional textured covers (Bi-Directional Texturing) strengthen the grip even with wet hands. Made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), a fiberglass-reinforced nylon plastic. The ultra-lightweight design of the Handle grips and the open-backed construction, so called, reduce weight by almost 12 percent compared to a folder with a G-10 handle. A metal clip with four-way (up/down, right/left) 4-way clip positions allow the knife to be carried in tip-down (tip-down) position. In the back of the lanyard hole, an enlarged hole for a cord.
