Spyderco Tenacious Folding Knife 3.39 Inch Plain Black Leaf

The Spyderco Tenacious Black Plain is a testament to Spyderco’s relentless pursuit of excellence in the world of everyday carry knives. Designed with the needs of the modern user in mind, this mid-size folding knife strikes the perfect balance between functionality, style, and durability. Whether you're an experienced collector or just looking for a reliable tool to add to your EDC rotation, the Tenacious is sure to impress.

Let’s start with the blade, which is arguably the heart and soul of any knife. The Tenacious Black Plain features a plain edge 3.39-inch clip point blade made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. This is a steel that’s tough enough to handle daily tasks while still being easy to maintain. The plain edge ensures clean, precise cuts, making it ideal for everything from slicing through rope to preparing food. The blade is finished in a sleek black coating, which not only adds to its stealthy appearance but also provides an additional layer of protection against the elements.

Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole is prominently featured on the Tenacious, offering a smooth, one-handed opening experience that’s become a hallmark of the brand. Paired with the reliable linerlock mechanism, this knife locks up securely, giving you confidence during even the most demanding tasks.

The handle is another area where the Tenacious Black Plain shines. Crafted from black G-10, the handle scales offer a perfect blend of grip and comfort. G-10 is known for its strength and lightweight properties, and in the Tenacious Black Plain, it delivers an exceptional feel in hand. The handle is complemented by stainless steel liners that add to the knife’s overall durability without compromising on weight. At 4.2 ounces, this knife is hefty enough to feel substantial but light enough to carry comfortably all day long.

When it comes to carrying options, the Tenacious Black Plain is as versatile as they come. The black four-position pocket clip allows you to carry the knife tip-up or tip-down, left or right-handed, ensuring it’s always ready to deploy in a flash. The lanyard hole provides yet another option for those who prefer to carry their knives in a more traditional manner.

With a closed length of 4.38 inches and an overall length of 7.77 inches, the Tenacious Black Plain is perfectly sized for everyday carry. It’s compact enough to fit comfortably in your pocket, yet large enough to tackle a wide range of tasks. The blade thickness of .11 inches strikes an ideal balance between strength and precision, making this knife a true workhorse.

Weighing in at 4.2 ounces, the Tenacious Black Plain is light enough to carry effortlessly but substantial enough to remind you of its quality every time you reach for it. It’s a manual folder, meaning you’ll always be in complete control of the blade’s deployment, a feature that many knife enthusiasts prefer for its simplicity and reliability.

Available at the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the Spyderco Tenacious Black Plain is more than just a knife—it’s a statement of quality, versatility, and style. Whether you’re using it for daily tasks or adding it to your collection, the Tenacious Black Plain is a knife that won’t let you down.
