The Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight is a folding knife designed for everyday use, combining ergonomics, reliability, and excellent value. Designed by Eric and Sal Glesser, this model has become a staple of the Spyderco range thanks to its functional design and smooth one-hand opening via the Spydiehole , the famous hole in the blade.
Ergonomics and Lightness
The Lightweight version of this iconic model replaces the G10 grips with an FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) handle. This ultralight material reduces the overall weight by 10 grams while offering excellent grip thanks to its more pronounced textured surface.
Security and Control
The linerlock locking system keeps the blade firmly in place during use, while allowing for secure one-handed folding.
