Does the Tenacious measure up? You decide... (pics)

[Jay_Ev]

There have been many posts here which suggest some similarities between the newly released Tenacious and the Mini Manix & Li'l Temperance. Now, I don't post very often, but I read almost every thread, and from what I have read, there are some of you that would consider it a travesty and an injustice to include the Tenacious in the same picture as the Li'L T and Mini Manix. If that's you, feel free to click the 'back' button on your browser now as you may find the following pics offensive:







FWIW, I think the Tenacious holds it's own against it's predecessors, and it is my current EDC as it is easier and more affordable to replace.
Mahalo,

:spyder: How's the lock-up? :spyder:

I generally dislike liner and frame locks but like my Military, the lock on my Tenacious has been 100% problem free so far.

The lock up on the Tenacious has that oh-so-satisfying Spyderco 'SNAP' when the blade is flicked open & locks into place. It is a treasure to the eyes and the ears. Lock up is tight, firm, and secure. You get so much more knife for less than the price of a Dragonfly. I think if you get one, you will be quite pleased. Take care,

LOL Jay :D Great comparison pix even if they are sacrilegous :cool:

Thanks for the pictures Jay.
I have a request. Could you post a close-up picture of the linerlock engaged? I wonder how thick the liner is. I read that the lock up is fine: on par with the Military?

The more I read and look at pictures, the more I want to get a Tenacious. If not as an EDC, at least to test it out; it looks to be a great knife.

Just another example of Spyderco quaility, as well as the folly of pre-judging things. :o

The back end of that Manix is truly monolithic. It rather shocked me, that huge hunk of metal between those two slabs of G-10.

I am not a big liner lock fan, but I might try one, to have something in SE with FFG.

Looks like the "chinese" is making some real show time here :D
Thanks for the interesting comparison pix.

These are great knives for the money. I think Sal and his team have hit a homerun!

here ya go..in the first pic....thats where the stop landed at when i opened it up...in the second i pushed it over a little more, i figure as it wears down over time, it will slide all the way over.

Thanks Tony,

Looks solid to me and on par with the millie. :D
The liner itself also looks thick enough.

Anybody tried a spine-whack on that badboy yet? :spyder:

[SimpleIsGood229]

Slightly heretical :p , but a very good review nontheless! :D

Oh yeah! The Manixes are beasts! I suggest you get one...or four. :D

Anybody tried a spine-whack on that badboy yet? :spyder:
