Product Description
A Bit About Spyderco
Spyderco was founded in 1976 by Sal and Gail Glesser. Initially, the company focused on selling our first product — the Tri-Angle Sharpmaker— primarily at fairs and trade shows around the country in their Bread Truck. In 1981, the Glessers put down roots in Golden, Colorado and introduced the first Spyderco folding knife. That knife pioneered the concept of a round hole in the blade for one-handed opening, a clip on the handle for carrying at the top of the pocket, and the option of a serrated edge for aggressive cutting performance. Those features revolutionized the knife industry and literally defined the form of the modern folding knife.
EFFICIENT
VALUE FOLDER EDC
Designed from the ground up as a member of Spyderco’s popular family of affordably priced full-service folding knives, the Efficient proudly includes all the high-performance features and benefits that savvy knife users have come to expect from Spyderco knives in a format that suits practically every budget.
The heart of the Efficient’s compact, ergonomic design is its full-flat-ground drop-point blade. Precision machined from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, its broad profile and PlainEdge cutting edge offer outstanding edge geometry for low-friction cutting performance.
Built on a framework of full, skeletonized stainless steel liners and a stout stainless steel back spacer, the Efficient’s handle construction provides serious structural strength. To keep the Efficient poised and ready for action, it includes a reversible hourglass clip that can be configured for left or right-side tip-up carry and a lined lanyard hole for easy attachment of fobs and lanyards.

Overall decent purchase
Been using it as my edc to work for the past five months. It does a good enough job, budget steel so I do sharpen it weekly. It comes stiff out of the box, had to loosen it up and oil it a little bit. My biggest complaint is the finger hole access. I’m right handed and use my middle finger to flick open. The G10 material isn’t cut the same on both sides. One side is fully exposed, the other isn’t, making it uncomfortable to open at times. Other than that, solid knife and I plan to carry it until it breaks, because it also doubles as a pry bar at times.

Pros:
✅ Fit and finish of this knife is fantastic; absolutely no blade play in any direction and the blade is perfectly centered when closed.
✅ Smooth action and the liner lock engages fully and is rock solid. Action is smooth enough for thumb flicks! The edges could use a little smoothing out to keep your nails from getting torn up but it does flick open easily.
✅ Metal backspacer that helps create a really nice premium look and feel (albeit a bit heavy).
✅ Comes nice and sharp from the factory (see video).
✅ Can be used with either hand. While the cut out is aggressive for right hand users, I have no issues opening and closing this knife with my left hand. Clip can be switched from right to left side.
Cons:
➖ Made in China, but most knives at this price point are.
➖ Knife is thicker than I'd like. I have a few Kershaws that are liner locks like this and are significantly thinner
➖ Knife feels quite heavy on the back end due to the steel backspacer. It would have been nice to have an aluminum spacer or individual standoffs to help balance the knife a little better.
➖ Pocket clip is not deep carry and in fact, because of where it is, the knife rides very high.
Additional Thoughts (not really pros or cons):
● While the pocket clip can be flipped for both right and left hand use, it can only be installed as "tip up." I don't have a problem with that as that is how I prefer carrying my knifes but others may have a different preference.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for your first Spyderco or even a less expensive addition to what you have, I would look no further than this knife. While in the past you may have been stuck with the Resilience, Tenacious, Persistence or Ambitious as your only option for a "Value Folder," I don't think you should even consider those anymore. Hopefully if this knife gets as popular as I think it deserves to, Spyderco will add more blade lengths to its "Family" to compete with the aforementioned blades. While it does have a few Cons that might put some people off, this is honestly the best knife you can get from Spyderco at this price range.

The knife the Tenacious should have been! Best Spyderco "Value Folder"
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2017
One of my very first Spyderco purchases was the Spyderco Tenacious. I really wanted to like that knife but in the end I gave it away because the blade shape made it impossible to carry it in your pocket comfortably. One of the things I hate about some cheaper Spydercos is that the "Spyderhole" either requires aggressive handle cutout or have the knife blade stick out almost an extra 1/2" to clear the frame and that makes a really wide knife for no reason. This is the first "Value Folder" Spyderco that I absolutely love and this is what the Tenacious should have been. I have no idea how that knife is so popular with how big and unwieldy it is. I really enjoy this knife and here are some main points:Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2017
