I just bought a Tenacious and bought white aftermarket scales and all copper hardware…then came across this video and, man, first of all…you are one talented guy. Your knife came out looking amazing and I’m super excited to get mine put together with such a similar color palette to yours.

[@KnathansKnives]

Nice and thank you very much! It's a great budget knife! Unless you got the S35VN Steel Blade version?

Wow my dude, this is absolutely beautiful!!!! I have the Tenacious in S35VN. Do you do custom work for people? I'd love for you to do this to my Tenacious. If you do, quote a price and your contact info. I have the black 8cr one and the blue scaled S35VN one. I'd like my Black one done like yours

[@Ryan.S924]

You guys should try Sons of Liberty gun works Spec 76. It’s thin and super slick. I tried some on my persistence and used Brand KPL on a manix 2 and the persistence is just as fast and smooth as my manix 2. Which I think is the smoothest SpyderCo out there from factory.

[@KnathansKnives]

I'll check it out, appreciate it! 🤜🤛

[@Ryan.S924]

@@KnathansKnives hey so why did you use four bronze washers on this knife?

[@KnathansKnives]

@@Ryan.S924 That's just the way the knife comes, but I'm assuming Spyderco adds two on each side for the lubricant to flow through and make it extra smooth🤔

This was very well done great craftsmanship definitely going to subscribe keep up the great work

Man you make it look so easy. This one was impressive with literally no crazy tools. I was wondering how you cut of the spot for the liner lock. This one looks so good 👌

Hey what’s the reason to use 4 bronze washers here? Any benefit? Or is it because your G10 scales were a bit thicker than stock?

Any advice on getting the screws out of the cylinder spacers? Got flytanium scales but can't get three of the screws out

[@KnathansKnives]

I like to use boiling water and let the knife sit in it for about 2 minutes to soften the Loctite.

[@peterg1213]

The backspacer on this is fantastic! How did you get the thickness perfect so it doesnt rattle?

[@KnathansKnives]

Thank you! I made sure the copper piece was as close to the thickness I needed and used a flat surface with sand paper to remove material until it was a perfect fit🙂

[@21RIP]

Awesome dude.

[@KnathansKnives]

[@chandlerking88]

This was a sweet build. Wondering if you had any suggestions for the blade centering? My tenacious always runs with the blade favoring the scale side. Thanks!

Thank you! 😁 I had the same issue but then I tried Metal Complex's method to centering a blade and it worked! 😁

I want to get this knife customs with a wood handle a golf ball in it and my last name how do I go around about doing that

[@KnathansKnives]

I can create the scales but the golf ball and last name will be interesting. I know you can have your last name engraved by an engraver after the custom scales. Maybe a golf ball texture on the scales themselves? 🤔

[@j.smithakagenericguy8510]

Do you still have the green scales?
