Spyderco Tenacious R.I.L. Blue Titanium Black Blade (C122TIBLBKP) is a unique rendition of one of the most recognizable models in Spyderco’s lineup. The Value Folder series is renowned for its excellent price-to-performance ratio and reliability, and Tenacious is its flagship product. This special version, however, introduces a number of upgrades that significantly enhance both the knife’s functionality and aesthetics.
The most notable change from the classic Tenacious model is the use of a titanium handle—an extremely durable yet lightweight material. To further reduce weight, the scales are precision-milled, creating special recesses on their surface. The Blue Titanium anodized finish gives the knife an elegant yet dynamic character.
The blade is secured by a Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) with a steel interface, also known as a Frame Lock in Spyderco’s interpretation. This design provides exceptionally stable and secure blade locking while allowing for a relatively slim knife profile. Its robust construction translates into high durability, even during intense tasks.
Retaining all the hallmark features of the Tenacious series, the blade boasts a Leaf-Shaped profile and is crafted from corrosion-resistant 8Cr13MoV steel—similar in properties to Japanese AUS-8. In this version, the blade is coated with a black oxide finish, giving it a low-profile, tactical look while also minimizing reflections and slightly increasing corrosion resistance.
The Full Flat Grind ensures outstanding geometry and smooth cutting performance with minimal friction. The plain cutting edge runs the full length of the blade for both precise slicing and powerful “heel” cuts. A jimped thumb ramp on the spine of the blade improves thumb support, making the knife easier to control.
True to Spyderco tradition, the knife features a 14 mm Spyder Hole, allowing easy one-handed opening—even with gloved or wet hands. The handle’s ergonomic shape has distinct cutouts for a comfortable, stable grip during extended use.
A black clip with four possible mounting positions (tip-up or tip-down, left or right side) lets you customize the carry position to your preferences. Additionally, all handle hardware (screws and fittings) has been coated in black, creating a visual contrast with the blue titanium handle and matching the blade’s coating.
All in all, the Spyderco Tenacious R.I.L. Blue Titanium Black Blade (C122TIBLBKP) offers an outstanding blend of the classic, proven Tenacious design with eye-catching materials and finishes. Its titanium handle, Reeve Integral Lock, black blade coating, and characteristic ergonomics set it apart in any collection of functional and stylish folders. This knife is an excellent choice for those seeking not only a high-performance EDC tool but also a unique model with enhanced prestige and a modern look.
