Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight C122PSBK Folding Knife - Partially Serrated Blade

The Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight is a refined take on a folding knife classic, built for hunters, outdoor workers, and everyday carry users who need reliable cutting performance without the weight. This partially serrated folding knife balances a full-size blade with a lightweight frame—ideal when you're already managing pack weight on a long hunt or overlanding trip, or when you just want something unobtrusive in your pocket. The combination of a plain and serrated edge gives you versatility: the straight edge handles precision cuts, while the serrated portion tackles tougher materials like rope, cordage, or game processing.

Spyderco built the Tenacious Lightweight around an 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade, chosen for its balance of corrosion resistance and edge retention. The satin finish resists glare and wear marks, and the partially serrated design means you keep an option for both everyday slicing and aggressive cutting without swapping knives. The handle is made from FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) with bi-directional texturing—a smart grip surface that works whether your hands are wet or you're wearing gloves.

A pocket clip comes standard, so you can carry this knife the way that works for you: easily accessible in a shirt pocket, pack, or vest during a hunting trip, or worn inside your pack when you need it stowed. The lightweight design means it won't wear on you during long days afield or in camp.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Tenacious Lightweight good for hunting and field processing?

Yes. The combination of a plain edge for precision cuts and a serrated section for tougher materials makes it well-suited to general camp work and game processing. The lightweight design also means it won't add unnecessary weight to your kit during long days in the field.

What's the difference between this and other folding knives with serrated blades?

The Tenacious Lightweight is partially serrated, so you get both a clean straight edge for detail work and a serrated section for rope, cordage, and tougher cuts—without committing the entire blade to serrated teeth. The FRN handle keeps weight low while maintaining a secure grip, even when wet.

Does the pocket clip come with it?

Yes, the Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight includes a pocket clip, giving you the flexibility to carry it clipped to a pocket, pack, or vest.

Will this knife hold up to wet conditions and rough use?

The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade is corrosion-resistant and designed to handle field use. The satin finish is less prone to visible wear and spotting than polished finishes. The FRN handle is durable and works reliably wet or dry.
