The Spyderco Tenacious folding knife with brown G10 handle and CPM M4 steel blade is a workhorse EDC and field knife built for hunters, outdoorsmen, and anyone who needs a reliable blade they can count on. Spyderco engineered this folder around practical performance: a 3.35" blade that handles everything from camp tasks to field dressing, wrapped in tough brown textured G10 scales that grip securely even when wet or gloved. The CPM M4 steel blade holds a keen edge and is known for edge retention, making it a solid choice for serious users who spend more time cutting than sharpening.
What sets the Tenacious apart is its balance of capability and everyday carry practicality. The partially serrated blade design gives you a sharp section for detailed work and aggressive teeth for rope, cordage, and softer materials—versatility in one knife. The iconic Spyderco round hole opener is there if you want it, though the blade flicks out smoothly for one-handed deployment. Carry is straightforward: the included pocket clip lets you ride it in your pocket, waistband, or pack, positioned for right-hand access.
Brown G10 handles are tough, textured, and won't slip in your hands. They won't crack like some naturals, and they look good doing it. If you're building a small knife rotation for camp, truck, or EDC, or you want a no-nonsense blade that won't fail you in the field, the Tenacious is a proven design that's earned its reputation among hunters and outdoors workers over more than a decade of real-world use.

The Tenacious blade is partially serrated, meaning roughly half the edge is sharp and smooth for precision cuts, and the other half features aggressive teeth. This design lets you tackle both detailed work and aggressive cutting (rope, cordage, soft materials) without swapping knives.
CPM M4 is known for excellent edge retention, so you won't be sharpening it constantly. When you do need to touch it up, standard sharpening tools work fine—it's a tool steel that responds well to maintenance.
The pocket clip is positioned for right-hand carry and access. The knife itself is ambidextrous in the hand, but the clip orientation is right-hand configured.
The knife comes with an included pocket clip for carry. No additional sheath or accessories are included.
