@kframe357 As you know, the Tenacious you sent me arrived safe and sound, thank you very much!
Here it is, all tuned up and dialed in the way I like it:
Straight, but rounded spine (if you know what I mean), basically zero ground blade at about 12 thou behind the edge, 20 degree micro, handle reprofiled to expose
all the jimping, thumb hump reprofiled rounder like a Millie so as not to create a hotspot for the thumb in saber grip, as the Tenacious line is wont to do from the factory. I also cut out some of the "ribs" between the holes in the liners, bringing the weight down and evening out the balance after removing metal from the blade.
I plan to do this with all my Tenaciouses, including the one I am awaiting from
D

and the three
South paw draw
sent me in exchange for my modded S30V Shaman. Geometry cuts, and 8Cr13MoV is tough stuff, tough enough to shine in thin cross sections that send 204P and S110V scurrying away with their tails tucked.
It's funny how you mentioned that the Tenacious was your intro to "good" knives, as you said, but I am finding that it, and my modded Resiliences (I have 4) are becoming my go to for just about any kind of use, light or hard.
Thanks again!
By the way, it did get some use on the first day it arrived. I pretty much took it out of the envelope and stuck it right in my pocket before work (after a quick look under the hood and oil change), every bit as excited for it, as I have always been for every new knife, including my $200+ knives.
