Hey All, I just want to keep the thread alive, and to give my 2c. I think one of the biggest disadvantage of the 8crMov steel, that it will stain (rust) like crazy compared to CPM S30v. Well of course it wont rust as a carbon steel,…

Well - I missed some of the follow up posts on this thread and I have a question for Elliott, are you trying to be Mr. Poopy-pants? There is nothing wrong with the Tenacious steel being soft - I compare it in feel to ATS-55. Sharp enough and more…

May not hold a edge as long but easier to sharpen and if you don't have or want to spend the cash for the sage the persistence would be my choice I carry mine every day in my bag or pocket and I have alot of other much more expensive knifes. I…

well, i don't have a sage or a persistance, but the tenacious i just got is one hell of a knife for the money spent. as an entry level knife, it's got spyderco quality written all over it. came razor sharp out of the box, has excellent…

Sage FTW The persistence and tenacious are both great starter knives though. Both use G10 which is a great material especially at the price point. But the sage just has so many nice featurs. Low riding clip carbon fiber scales, and s30v steel. It is…
