Comments on: The Tenacious http://spyderbug.com My small collection of Spyderco knives Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:39:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Rob http://spyderbug.com/reviews/the-tenacious/comment-page-1/#comment-2208 Rob Mon, 24 May 2010 02:50:18 +0000 http://spyderbug.com/?page_id=201#comment-2208 Hi Tim! Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you liked my review! I've had a couple of Byrd knives myself some time ago (more out of curiosity than need :) ) and I really was surprised of the fit and finish of the Chinese made Spyderco knives in comparison with the Byrd line. In my opinion the quality is a tad better than the Byrd models I had (Meadowlark and Cara Cara). Maybe the Byrd knives improved a bit since then (I got both when they came out) - I don't know. The Tenacious and it's smaller brother the Persistence are definitely worth considering if you are looking for an entry-level Spyderco. The quality is excellent for the price-tag! Cheers, Rob Hi Tim!

I have several of the Chinese made Bryd Ravens which are quite similar (including steel). Love Spyderco but have always prefered the liner locks (cross locks) for one handed operation, thus the Cricket and the Byrd Raven has been a work horse for me. The Raven has the choil but in my experience you are a lot less likely to close the blade on your fingers with a liner lock vs a back lock so the extra cutting length might be worth it. Thanks for the review it was very helpful. Tim Thanks for the review, I live near Golden and hope to make it out to Spyderco this week to pick up a Tenacious.

I’m not a big fan of linerlock knives but for the price and reviews I’m gonna get one anyways. Can get one SHIPPED for $36 on ebay (belote)…gonna get the plain edge.
