Everyone Has a Spyderco, this 3 3/8" Blade Tenacious is a Good Start!

I just had to see what all the hype about Spyderco is, so I got a Tenacious for myself.
I chose my perfect preferences of a partially serrated blade for extreme cutting power of any rough material like rope or a tomato plant, and the matching color of a black blade with additional coating.
The knife seems to be high quality, with no noticable blade play when it's in any position open, closed, in between. I like that. The materials all seem high quality.
The one-handed thumb hole opening is their signature thing, and it's okay, for me. But I'm so used to touching a flipper like on a Kershaw, or flipping a thumb stud like on a Benchmade, or a cheaper Boker offshore cheaper: Boker Plus or HK Boker, you touch it, it's open, that the Spyderco seems like a niche market with plenty of devotees. Now I have one in my collection of brands, and I'll use it as an EDC in rotation with my current favorites, a Kershaw flipper, a Benchmade Axis 551, and a SOG Flash 1 (again, barely move the thumb stud, smack! it's locked open effortlessly). I'll see if I get used to slowly opening with the thumb hole. Honestly, I've been grabbing the thumbhole and flicking the handle downward to snap it open in a fraction of a second instead of waiting for my thumb to slowly open the blade. That works much more efficiently. All my blades are over 3" and this is also 3 3/8 " blade, the perfect size for my pocket. The pocket clip is nice, but SOG wins "deep carry" hands down. You cannot see the knife with a SOG pocket clip. I've seen reviews of it that say "it's too light; it's plastic" about the SOG, but so's an M-16. My SOG has similar qualities; never broken, still operates sharply. I expect the same from the Spyderco, a high-quality looking piece of equipment.

its a winner.

After loosing my $250 benchmade this was the replacement. Before you go jumping to conclusions...the benchmade was an AWESOME knife! But heres my thing...this knife (its still pretty new) I can buy/loose 5-6 of these before I'm upside down on losing 1 benchmade. I don't work with my knife for a living, nor does it put food on my table for my family (unless I kill something with it), and if I had to rely on a knife to do such, then MAYBE ....I mean MAYBE then I'd spend another $250+ on another knife. But I'm a every day carry kind of guy and its either on me or in my truck. So far this knife does everything that I need to do, and so far I don't see it coming up short anytime soon. Its tight and its sharp as heck... and for the guy who "just needs a pocket knife to cut random s**t" its a winner.... ESPECIALLY for $49!
