Can someone post up pictures of the tenacious with any popular multi (wave, rebar, spirit, etc) thanks

I can, but it will probably be a few hours. If no one else post one before I can I will take care of it.

No rush. Thanks

Cutting edge comparison.

Wow that was fast and helpful. Thanks Cap. Is that a 600 with silver pliers?

Glad to help and yes it is a MP600 I parted together. Mixed color tools as well.

so far leaning toward tenacious. It's still a hard choice. That and the byrd.

The G-10 Cara Cara 2 rocks, I like it in FRN as well.

If you don't like the FRN Endura/Delica you will not like the Byrd FRN knives.
They feel even "cheaper" and less refined. But they are very good performers and bring in nice design elements like finger choils.

If I only had $20 or so to spend on a knife it would be a Byrd.

I have not seen the G10 Byrds in serrated blade configuration; they are awesome knives

While I do not like the Byrd's in FRN I would probably try out a G-10 Cara Cara or Robin if the price was still reasonable and not as expensive as a real deal Spyderco.

I have had a few Byrd knives and tools and honestly I don't care for them.  They seem only slightly better than many Spyderco knockoffs.

The Tenacious is a nice little knife, and for the money, it's very hard to beat.

But, given the list so far, I'd probably opt for the Native.  The Endura and Delica are also great knives, but for general use I like something more solid and the broad blade of the Native just exudes confidence- like you could force it through the hull of an aircraft carrier if necessary.

That's just me though.  My father was a combat engineer, and when it comes to building things, overkill is a minimum design standard.

Thanks grant. I'm still debating on which to get. Is the native heavier in the handle than the delica? If they both had the frn scales?

I don't have the weights in front of me, but I can almost guarantee the "handle" of the Delica is heavier. My reasoning is the Delica has steel lines. The Native 1 has no liners at all.

That's kind of a let down. I prefer a balanced blade. The delica I held at Cabelas with frn handles was very blade heavy. Also, considering cost I will probaly go tenacious. A fully serrated native in g10 I would consider but all my searches come up blank. Will still probably order both

If you are looking for a balanced knife the Tenacious and moreso the Resilience will fit the bill nicely. They have some pretty substantial liners that balance them out well.

Was it a saber ground or full flat ground blade on the Delica?  Makes a big difference in my opinion.

The FFG blade Delica feels more handle heavy to me. I have mine in hand right now. Balance point from center drops handle side as well.

Forgot to report here...I did pull the trigger on a tenacious and it is gooooooood. I'm sure I will get the native as well but I couldn't be more pleased with the design, build, and balance of this knife.

Congrats! I knew you would love it. In my opinion it its one of the best knives in its price range. Enjoy it!

It's hard to believe it's under $50 for the quality your getting. Here's is a pic I posted elsewhere it helps to have great people giving good advice before buying something. Thanks for the help
