First of all the things that are positively highlighted:
+ The build quality is almost perfectly in this price range. The blade is soft transition, the liner securely locked, no interfering corners.
For smaller defects, su
+ The service is excellent and convenient to manage with one hand, the slightly bulbous blade shape is perfect for cutting,
by the solid surface grinding generally excellent cutting properties, the thumb pad is perfect for me. The Handle
feels great in your hand, you like summarizes the knife.
+ The blade steel used is one of the standard steels, using the renowned manufacturers in this price range.
I like him quite happy, since it can be reground easily and thereby reasonable sharpness takes (Rasierschärfe problems
possible), which he also holds satisfactory. Did it once sharpened and also rather out of interest than it really
would have been necessary. Was satisfactory sharp even with the shipping of my (relatively high) claims.
+ The clip can be mounted in four different ways and also completely removable, for everyone here.
+ For cleaning purposes, the knife is completely dismantled theoretically, but see below.
Now to the issues that tarnish the very positive overall impression minimal:

Conclusion: One of my favorite knife for everyday use, especially the price-performance ratio is almost unbeatable. It is not afraid to actually use the knife. The processing and the steel blades remain slightly behind the more expensive models such as the Endura back - but eventually also costs twice as much. From the hand position ago my Tenacious like even something better to work with it just feels "right" to. Therefore, I personally also like about the issues raised, really small weaknesses of time, I would prefer to be awarded four and a half star.
At this price you do with the Tenacious absolutely nothing wrong, an error would rather not to buy it!
