Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight C122PSBK 3.39″ Partially Serrated Folding Knife

The Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight C122PSBK combines one of Spyderco’s most popular value-oriented folding-knife designs with lightweight FRN construction and a versatile partially serrated cutting edge.

Featuring a 3.39-inch satin-finished 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade, black fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle, Spyderco Round Hole™ and secure LinerLock, the Tenacious Lightweight provides substantial everyday cutting capability without unnecessary weight or premium-knife pricing.

Its partially serrated edge makes this model particularly useful for users who regularly encounter a mix of everyday materials, from cardboard and packaging to rope, cord and webbing.

3.39-Inch 8Cr13MoV Stainless Steel Blade

The Tenacious Lightweight features a 3.39-inch 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade.

8Cr13MoV is a practical stainless steel commonly used in value-oriented working knives because it offers a useful combination of:

• Good corrosion resistance
• Dependable everyday cutting performance
• Reasonable toughness
• Straightforward sharpening
• Excellent overall value

For a knife designed to actually get used, 8Cr13MoV provides practical performance without requiring complicated maintenance.

Satin Blade Finish

This Tenacious features a satin-finished blade, giving the knife a clean, traditional appearance.

The finish pairs well with the black handle and highlights the blade’s distinctive Spyderco profile.

It’s a straightforward working-knife aesthetic that looks equally appropriate in an EDC setup, toolbox or outdoor gear kit.

Partially Serrated ComboEdge™

This C122PSBK configuration combines plain and serrated cutting sections on the same blade.

The plain portion provides a continuous cutting surface for controlled everyday tasks, while the serrated section provides additional cutting aggression when working through tougher or fibrous materials.

The combination is especially useful for cutting:

• Rope
• Cord
• Webbing
• Cardboard
• Heavy packaging
• Plastic
• General utility materials

For users who can’t decide between plain and serrated, the partially serrated configuration gives you a little of both.

Lightweight Black FRN Handle

The Lightweight version of the Tenacious replaces heavier handle construction with durable fiberglass-reinforced nylon.

FRN offers excellent strength while helping reduce overall weight, making the knife easier to carry throughout the day.

This makes the Tenacious Lightweight particularly attractive for users who want the blade size and ergonomics of a full-size folding knife without carrying unnecessary weight.

Bi-Directional Texturing™

The black FRN handle incorporates Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texturing™.

The molded pattern is designed to provide positive traction from multiple directions, helping create a secure and comfortable grip.

This gives the lightweight handle more usable texture without requiring additional grip inserts or heavy handle materials.

Signature Spyderco Round Hole™

The blade incorporates Spyderco’s iconic Round Hole™ opening system.

Rather than relying on a conventional thumb stud, the opening hole provides a large and intuitive interface for blade manipulation.

It’s simple, functional and gives the Tenacious the unmistakable appearance of a Spyderco folding knife.

Secure LinerLock

The Tenacious Lightweight uses a LinerLock mechanism to secure the blade in its open position.

When the blade is fully deployed, the liner engages behind it to provide positive lockup during normal cutting tasks.

The design is straightforward, proven and well suited for the Tenacious’ role as an everyday working folder.

Four-Position Pocket Clip

The included four-position pocket clip provides excellent flexibility for everyday carry.

Users can configure the Tenacious Lightweight for:

• Right-hand tip-up carry
• Right-hand tip-down carry
• Left-hand tip-up carry
• Left-hand tip-down carry

That makes the knife highly adaptable for both right- and left-handed users.

Built for Everyday Work

The Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight is designed to deliver useful performance without unnecessary complexity.

Its 3.39-inch blade provides enough cutting edge for substantial everyday tasks, while the FRN handle keeps the knife manageable for regular pocket carry.

It’s well suited for:

• Everyday carry
• Work and jobsite use
• Package opening
• Cardboard breakdown
• Camping and hiking
• Outdoor activities
• General-purpose utility
• One of Spyderco’s Best Value-Oriented EDC Platforms

The Tenacious has developed a strong following because it provides many of the functional features associated with Spyderco knives at a more accessible price point.

The Lightweight version makes the formula even more practical for daily carry by reducing weight while retaining a useful full-size blade and ergonomic handle.

For someone looking to get into Spyderco without immediately wandering into the $200+ knife rabbit hole, the Tenacious is a damn good place to start.

Versatile Spyderco Performance

The Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight C122PSBK combines a 3.39-inch satin 8Cr13MoV blade, partially serrated edge, black Bi-Directional Textured FRN handle, Round Hole opener, LinerLock and four-position pocket clip in a practical full-size folding knife.

For buyers searching for a Spyderco Tenacious Lightweight partially serrated knife, the C122PSBK delivers dependable everyday performance, versatile cutting capability and proven Spyderco ergonomics at an approachable price.
