The Spyderco Tenacious G-10 Handle Folding Plain Edge Knife is the best value for the money for entry level collector or enthusiasts. It has brass bushings and decent quality with a sharp blade.
The stainless blade is leaf-shaped and ground flat from spine to cutting edge for cutting performance.
The liner lock is tough and thick… but smooth enough so you can easily close it with one hand. It deploys quickly and silky smooth. The entire grip and design of the knife fits very well to make cutting a whole lot easier.
The blade’s shape coupled with an oversized Spyderco Round Hole and textured spine jimping allow you to open the blade and position your thumb on the spine in slip-proof confidence ready for work. Tip-up/tip-down left-hand/right-hand carry.
You will find that with other knives of the same size, weight and suitable for every day carry, the Tenacious will be the one you will be carrying the most often.
