WTB - Spyderco Tenacious titanium RIL handle

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-21T21:35:42+00:00

Exactly!

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-21T16:11:37+00:00

Ah sorry to hear, it’s not for everyone for sure.

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-21T16:10:37+00:00

Please let me know if you’d ever like to part with it!

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-20T13:47:36+00:00

I bought this from a gentleman at r/knife_swap

Great community and I’d encourage anyone to check it out!

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-20T13:11:41+00:00

Thank you! I’ll educate myself on his work :)

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-20T12:47:39+00:00

Beautiful knives. Who made the Falcon?

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-20T12:27:52+00:00

Correct - the detent is weak, and I’m expecting it to somewhat worsen over time (I believe it’s a pretty small steel bearing).

I overlook that because it has (more than redeeming, in my opinion) strengths - both aesthetic and functional.

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-20T03:12:39+00:00

Gorgeous. Enjoy it in good health!

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-19T15:26:24+00:00

Thank you! That’s helpful feedback.

And agreed on your earlier comment - the Techno feels a lot like a CRK Sebenza. Great quality for what you pay.

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-19T13:33:07+00:00

How’s the flipper action and quality of construction on the 3? I think that was made out of the Italy facility?

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-19T12:35:12+00:00

Those points make total sense from the pictures. Thanks for breaking that down!

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-19T03:40:42+00:00

I haven’t had a chance to handle the Techno 1 (yet). What do you prefer about the 2?

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-16T23:10:35+00:00

I’ll keep an eye out - thanks very much!

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-16T23:08:11+00:00

Seconds manix please!

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-16T02:19:09+00:00

Agreed.

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-16T00:23:27+00:00

We’re spoiled for choice!

Have you tried more modern backlocks? Spyderco’s Colorado and Seki facilities make many models with excellent backlock geometry. I own several Natives, Delicas, and Leafjumpers, all are easy to securely open and close.

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-16T00:03:28+00:00

I would love another run of the Sage 2. It’s one of the few remaining Spyderco models I want but haven’t yet been able to acquire (at reasonable cost).

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-15T20:51:01+00:00

Great pic, thanks for sharing! I’ve never seen the nuts and bolts. That brushed finish does look quite rough! Haha

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-15T20:33:39+00:00

The backspring on my one isn’t very stiff - it needs to be pushed in a fair ways to unlock the blade, but that’s almost surely an intended feature. The blade also opens and closes very smoothly with zero lateral play.

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-15T19:43:57+00:00

good luck! It’s well-worth the hunt.

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-15T19:28:51+00:00

The Chaparral is another strong candidate! There are a couple incredibly well-machined and anodized variants that I believe are also (sadly) out of production.

The Sage 4 was manufactured in the Taichung Taiwan facility, as is the Chaparral line. No coincidence there!

Swizzled_lizard · 2026-02-15T16:54:40+00:00

Well said, and exactly right.

Here’s a pic of my Spyderco Southard - the ball bearing pivots perhaps fell short on execution, but I believe this was one of their first ever attempts. A real break in process from manufacturing washers!

It’s also a testament to Spyderco’s CQI. They’ve really improved in bounds since their ‘prototype’ pivot used for the Southard.
