Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight C122PSBBK Folding Knife

The Tenacious Lightweight: Legendary Performance, Lighter Weight

The Tenacious has long been the flagship of Spyderco's Value Folder line—a series of knives designed to deliver all the essential qualities of a premium Spyderco in an affordable, accessible package. The Tenacious Lightweight takes that proven formula and refines it further.

What Sets It Apart

Weight Reduction Without Compromise Spyderco replaced the original G-10 scales with injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), cutting weight by nearly 12 percent while maintaining durability and performance. The result is a knife that carries easier without sacrificing capability.

Superior Grip Security The FRN handle features Spyderco's signature Bi-Directional Texture pattern, providing exceptional grip traction in wet conditions or with gloved hands. This is genuine tactical thinking applied to everyday carry.

Blade and Hardware

• Blade: 3.39" 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, partially serrated (CombinationEdge)
• Blade Finish: Black oxide coating for reduced glint and corrosion resistance
• Edge Geometry: Full-flat-ground for efficient cutting performance
• Hardware: Black-coated stainless steel, including four-position pocket clip

Locking Mechanism and Construction

The Tenacious Lightweight features a robust LinerLock mechanism with full, skeletonized stainless steel liners. This proven design provides secure blade lock-up while keeping weight minimal.

The Partial Serration Advantage

The CombinationEdge configuration pairs a plain-edge section with serrated teeth. This gives you the slicing efficiency of a plain edge for most cutting tasks, while the serrated portion excels at cutting rope, webbing, and other fibrous materials—useful in tactical, outdoor, and emergency situations.

A Knife for Everyone

Whether you're new to quality knives or a seasoned user looking for reliable, lightweight everyday carry, the Tenacious Lightweight delivers Spyderco's proven design philosophy at a price that makes sense.
