Official Petition for a Premium Tenacious

[Afterman]

It's one of my favorite Spyderco designs. A smooth liner lock, 4 way carry, open pillar construction, and the blade all the way to the handle.

I'd love a premium tenacious. Doesn't need to be crazy super steel, but an upgrade to steel and handle material would be a great sprint run.

David and others: Would you consider the upcoming Spyderco Pole Star to be sortof a fit for a premium Tenacious? It is American made from what I read and uses the new CTS BD1 Stainless Steel and has a G10 handle.

The Polestar is nice, and can be considered an improved Tenacious, it is made in the same factory as the Byrd Raven though.. Also i prefer the Raven due to the choil.

Just placed an order for the blue Tenacious with CPM S35VN

AEB-L steel is the winning formula

On another forum, they were discussing the Tenacious and in the end the consensus was that although there is no spydie-hole, the Real Steel Terra Carbon Fiber in 14C28N was better for less money.
I should add, that I don't have a Tenacious, nor a Terra, but AFAIK the Terra is on ball-bearings and the Tena is on PB, which I prefer.

Still, something to think about.

Well, I don’t think the country of origin is gonna change any time soon because it’s one of the higher-value designs. There are several Japan, Taiwan, and US-produced models in the same size category to choose from.

They did just release an S35VN model though, not sure if you’re aware of that.

From all I’ve heard they’re of excellent quality regardless of the steel or handle material.
