The Spyderco Tenacious Copper elevates a trusted favorite with premium materials and bold character. Built on the rock-solid Tenacious platform, this everyday carry folding knife pairs high-performance CPM S30V blade steel with striking solid copper handle scales for a knife that works hard and looks even better doing it.
At the center of this build is a plain 3.39-inch drop point blade crafted from CPM S30V stainless steel and finished in clean satin. Known for its exceptional edge retention, impressive corrosion resistance, and reliable toughness, CPM S30V is a steel that’s made for serious daily use. The drop point profile delivers outstanding versatility, giving you a strong, controllable tip for precision tasks and a generous belly for efficient slicing. With a .11-inch blade thickness, it offers a balanced blend of durability and cutting performance, making it ready for everything from breaking down cardboard to tackling tougher materials.
Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole ensures smooth, confident one-handed opening. It’s intuitive, responsive, and easy to operate, allowing you to deploy the blade quickly when the job calls. Once open, the linerlock mechanism engages securely, holding the blade firmly in place during use. The linerlock design is trusted for its simplicity and strength, giving you dependable lockup and straightforward operation day after day.
What truly defines this Tenacious is its solid copper handle. Weighing approximately 7.15 ounces overall, the knife has a substantial, confidence-inspiring feel in hand. The added heft enhances balance and gives it a premium presence that stands apart from lighter-handled models. Copper isn’t just about weight—it’s about character. Over time, the handle will develop a natural patina, deepening in tone and creating a unique finish shaped by your carry and use. Every mark and shift in color tells a story, transforming the knife into a personal piece that evolves with you.
Measuring 4.38 inches closed and 7.77 inches overall, this knife provides a comfortable grip and practical size for daily carry. Its ergonomic handle contours fit naturally in the hand, ensuring control and comfort during extended cutting tasks. The combination of upgraded steel and solid copper construction makes this version of the Tenacious feel like a refined, performance-driven evolution of a proven design.
