Since its introduction in 2008, the Tenacious has earned an enviable position as the flagship of Spyderco’s Value Folder family of knives. Specifically designed to deliver all the key features of their groundbreaking CLIPIT folding knife platform in a budget-friendly format, Spyderco Value Folders remain some of the best deals on the knife market.

If you take a closer look at the Tenacious, you’ll discover that its design, engineering, fit, and finish are outstanding, easily rivaling Spyderco’s other consumer-oriented knives. It features a full, skeletonized 1.6 mm-thick stainless steel construction. The stainless steel standoffs reduce weight and allow easy cleaning, and together with the construction they form the foundation of the knife’s sturdy LinerLock mechanism, which locks the blade securely open during use. They also provide a solid base for its broad pocket clip, which is fully configurable for left or right-side carry, tip-up or tip-down.

CPM M4 is a special-purpose high-speed tool steel produced using a particle metallurgy process. Made in America by Crucible Industries, its advanced alloy composition, high vanadium content, and exceptionally fine grain structure give it outstanding wear resistance and toughness—properties that translate into exceptional edge retention and impact resistance in knife blades. For all these reasons, CPM M4 is a popular material for high-performance custom blades and specialty knives used in competitive cutting.

Unlike 8Cr13MoV and CPM S35VN, which are stainless steels, CPM M4 is a tool steel. Its extreme edge retention and toughness come at the cost of reduced corrosion resistance. As such, blades made from this steel must be maintained more carefully to protect them from moisture and staining. However, the benefits of this elite steel far outweigh the minor time investment needed to care for it.
