Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight C122PBK Folding Knife

The Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight C122PBK folding knife brings proven EDC reliability to hunters, campers, and field workers who need a no-nonsense blade without the heft. Built on the same capable design as the full-size Tenacious, this lightweight version cuts weight while keeping the blade length and cutting performance that makes Spyderco's design so trusted in the field. Whether you're processing game, camp tasks, or everyday carry, the Tenacious Lightweight delivers tough performance in a pocket-friendly package.

The blade is ground from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel with a plain edge—a practical choice that's easy to maintain and resharpen in the field or at home. The handle features bi-directional texturing on an FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) body, designed to stay in your hand whether you're wet, gloved, or working fast. A pocket clip is included, so you can secure it to pack straps, vest pockets, or waistbands without fumbling for a sheath.

This is a purpose-built tool for people who work outdoors and expect their gear to work as hard as they do. The Tenacious Lightweight doesn't try to be fancy—it's simply built to cut, stay sharp, and earn its place in your kit year after year.
