The Spyderco C122GBBKP Tenacious delivers reliable cutting performance with its 3.39-inch 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade and ergonomic G10 handle construction. This drop-point folding knife combines affordability with Spyderco's proven design elements, making it accessible to users seeking quality without premium pricing.

What Makes This Different

The blade geometry features a full flat grind that extends cutting efficiency while maintaining structural integrity at the spine.
