In a recent magazine I produce for the Knife Days show in Ohio was an article I wrote with Spyderco about their expansion in Golden CO.

To the delight of Spyderco fans, 2015 has been a record setting year for Spyderco model releases. The company is on pace to ship more than 2 new models a month.  Spyderco fans are brimming with anticipation to get their hands on one or more of the 11 new models (see below) still on tap for 2015.

None of the new knives will be made in Spyderco’s brand new Golden, Colorado factory.  The Taichung, Taiwan operation faces most of the pressure – 9 of the 11 remaining models still due this year will be made there, with the balance coming out of Seki City, Japan.

STILL TO COME: SPYDERCO 2015 MID-YEAR SUPPLEMENT:

Positron: A new flipper designed by Brad Southard. It’s a smaller, more ‘gentlemanly’ folder from the designer of Spyderco’s first flipper.

Gayle Bradley 2: A streamlined version of Gayle Bradley’s popular folder, still sporting his favored CPM-M4 blade steel. It’s not clear whether this folder will be sold alongside the original Gayle Bradley or replace it.

Vrango: Designer Michael Henningsson conceived of the Vrango’s dramatic recurve tanto blade for pure utility, but the anodized titanium handles with inlaid carbon fiber give the knife a dressy look.

Mamba: This big, bold flipper comes from designers Walter Brend and Joel Pirela.

Myrtle: From Filip de Leeuw, the designer of the just-released Spyderco friction folder, comes this titanium frame lock with an unusual blade shape.

Tighe Stick: The elaborate machining on this titanium framelock is the hallmark of designer Brian Tighe.

I have been using the Tenacious for over a year as my EDC. You will not be disappointed at that price point. Mine has held up real well. Nothing has come loose. There is still no blade play and I am pretty rough on knives. The blade touches up pretty quickly on sharpening.

My son bought a Persistence a few years ago. It is another of the "value folder" line Spyderco makes. He has stated several times that it is possibly his favorite of the knives he has. He has a Delica, Manix2 and a few others in the normal Spyderco selection. The blade steel is 8Cr13MoV. I think this steel costs less than some of the other's Spyderco uses. However, I feel it is JUST AS GOOD as most other blade steel's used by other companies. I've used it and while the edge retenion isn't what you would expect from S30V, XHP or some of the other blade steels Spyderco uses, it is a very good steel. I would buy any knife with this steel if I liked the other features of the knife. 8Cr13MoV isn't hard to sharpen at all and will get VERY sharp. Anyway, the blade steel is the only thing I consider a "value" feature of these knives. These knives are built very strong and will hold up to some very hard work.  The Tenacious is IMO a very nice knife as all of the value Spyderco's are. They are as good in quality as about any other knife and better than a lot of them. When I compare prices I always go to cutleryshoppe.com. This site routinely has prices about as good as you can get. Here is a link for the knives that showed up when I searched on "tenacious".

For me, the tenacious is the starting size of larger folders. The persistence my son has is plenty large enough for my needs for an EDC knife. OTOH, I normally carry more than one knife and one of them is larger or for harder tasks should I come across them.

At the $38 price range I think any of these knives is a great deal. Very solid knives that will handle harder work IMO than more traditional pocket knives. The G-10 handle scales provide plenty of grip with wet or dry hands. They can be disassembled if you need to. That does void the warranty though but I like being able to disassemble knives for a thorough cleaning or to make different scales.

Hope this helps.

Jack
