I bet you did it, Tara. When the knife is in the open position, you hold it in your right hand with its blade pointing to your There is a semi-circle inside the handle Near the blade, there is a circular cutout on the handle. In that semi-circle there is a piece of silver spring steel You will be able to push into that piece of steel if you push on it. With that spring steel in place, you can refold the blade back into the handle, which lets the blade settle and eliminates the tension on the blade. Be careful when closing, the blade on a Spyderco knife comes sharp from the factory and you can seriously cut yourself if you are not careful. To close the knife, gently fold the blade down from the center. Thank you, I hope that helps!
Made in China, this knife is made from stainless steel. Fit and finish are excellent for a piece of furniture at its price point, and steel and components are of high quality.
Kershaw Cryo 2 is not one of my favorite knives so I do not know what it is all about. My only comment is that I have owned this knife for about three years and I enjoy it very much. On two separate occasions I have also given this knife as a gift.
If you can find a piece of plywood, an old mouse pad, and some rubber bands, you can make a cheap version using grits of metal wet/dry sandpaper. As far as I can tell, this worked You can learn more about convex sharpening by going to Google. Keeping the blade sharp through this process will round off the secondary bevel, so you have to keep doing this if you choose to use this method.

The pros are main attraction of this knife is its price. You can find knives at or even lower than this price point from other companies, but you will have difficulty finding one from a reputable company like The fact of the matter is, this is not one of their premium knives, but rather their biggest attempt at a budget Now that we understand what the Tenacious offers, let's have a look at its features. We will start with the pocket clip, I do have one small issue with it I enjoy being able to carry my knives tip up like many people so anything beyond that is just something extra that is nice to have. Next is the pocket spydie hole that I love. have to be honest, it did take a while to get used to the mechanics, but once I did, I was completely hooked. The act of flicking the blade open is almost entertaining for me. I have definitely gotten better at using my thumb, but I haven't quite mastered using my index and middle fingers as much as I used to. would also like to emphasize the fact that this knife is incredibly comfortable in the hand. It is very comfortable with the scales of ten, and the thumb rests perfectly at the base of the blade to give you complete control over your movements. The cons are There are two very small things I would like to talk about. There seems to be two design issues here, the first is that I really wish they would offer deep carry. I love the fact that I can change the pocket clip around to four different positions, but I wish they had offered deep carry as well. The capability may not seem attractive to most people, but it would be a plus for me. Also, when the blade is opened slowly without performing a "spydie flip" I notice a weird squeak. It seems to be just the metal rubbing together and and like I said I don't notice it when it's normal to open the blade. The conclusion is I mentioned earlier that this is obviously a budget Spyderco knife. However, there aren't any significant corners cut to the point that you'll feel taken advantage of. Although there are some differences between this knife and their top of line products, such as the steel and locking mechanism, there is a distinct difference in design. By taking into account both the overall design and the quality of the Tennacious, you end up with an inexpensive introduction to a fairly well known This knife has been my constant companion in between the testing of other new blades, and I don't want to give it up. It is a shame that I cannot justify spending a few hundred dollars on one of their other knives, but I know that is only my problem. In any event, this pocket knife quickly became one of my top three favorites to carry and I am in love with.
I can see is that the finish is not very flat, but I am still inclined to recommend giving it a shot if you're interested in seeing how you like Spyderco products. There was an edge test I did that left me surprised and I wanted to share it. From a poplar tree in the yard, I picked some branches that were dry and put them to use. During this test, I wrote a lot of code and did a lot of research. Steel composition is nearly identical to aus8 with the exception of a little more manganese, less nickel, and a few more carbon. The amount of carbon in the atmosphere has increased by 05 percent. A hair that is more resistant to wear overall. The Spyderco Tenacious razer is 8CR13mov with a 600 grit 15DPS
I trimmed some grass around a tree with the razer.
I shaved 200 times still using the whittle
After each 200 strokes, I did 10 chops through a small stick. My goal was to see what would happen to an edge or point if I stabbed 100 times into a stump. A minor dulling had taken place. The pressure on the 400 must be increased to shave. It has been 600 shavings since the last post. Shaving is back after 20 strokes of the strop. Upon reaching 1000 whittle strokes, there are still a few hairs to be rough shaved. I cut an 8 by 1 yard patch of grass, but still have to shave if I try very.
It comes sharp right out of the box and with little care, takes and holds an edge better than my Kershaw Blur (which is considered one of the best EDC knives available). The folder is quite thick in comparison to most other folders I have used The hands on my right hand are quite large, simply because I am a 5 man). The computer has been built very well, and so far there has been no problem with anything I've thrown at it. I haven't had any problems with it - unlike the Ontario RAT This knife is much better than the Kershaw No. 1 (which broke when I was using it). Please take note that, if you have large hands, you may have a hard time getting used to the ergonomics (especially with the sharp jimping along the It's not the best knife for everyone there are cheaper knives that are decent, and there are more expensive knives that are more advanced, but if you want a large, quality workhorse knife, this is one of the best options available.
However, it is a bit too heavy to carry every day and the blade is too scary for public use. There are readers who may find this OK for everyday carry and I often find myself tempted to slip it into my pocket, but never do. I think this knife would be a better fit for a day bag or waist bag. In my opinion, I would suggest carrying the Persistence, this knife's little brother, for everyday carrying - it has the same cutting edge, but it has smaller and more adjustable bevels. Using the Spyder hole in the blade, it is so easy to open with a flick of your thumb. This will be the second Persistence I buy, and this will be the third. Please take note I will probably seem condescending or unnecessary to remind the reader to be careful with the sharpness of this knife, but I have no choice. My finger got cut pretty badly when I was giving it some oil. It slipped, sticking into my hand. I am not using metaphors when I say that the Persistence and the Tenacious are razor sharp. As sharp as a razor, they are. Please be cautious.
