Spyderco Tenacious® Lightweight – C122PSBBK (CombinationEdge, Black Oxide Blade)

The Tenacious® Lightweight represents the core philosophy of Spyderco’s Value Folder series—delivering premium Spyderco design, ergonomics, and cutting performance in an accessible, budget-friendly package. This upgraded Lightweight model swaps the original G-10 handle scales for injection-molded FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), reducing overall weight by nearly 10% while adding the enhanced traction of Spyderco’s signature Bi-Directional Texture™.

Despite its lighter weight, the Tenacious remains a dependable workhorse. Its full-flat-ground 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade offers excellent slicing capability and easy maintenance. This CombinationEdge™ configuration provides the versatility of both serrated and plain cutting power in one blade—ideal for rope, cord, and everyday tasks.

The black-oxide blade coating and blacked-out hardware give the C122PSBBK a stealthy, tactical aesthetic. Full, skeletonized stainless steel liners ensure rigidity, while the reliable LinerLock mechanism keeps the blade secure during heavy use. A four-position pocket clip supports fully ambidextrous carry—tip-up or tip-down, left or right.

Lightweight, durable, and highly capable, the Tenacious Lightweight earns its name by delivering performance well beyond its price point.
