Knife Review: The Tenable Beaver – A Bold, Functional Everyday Carry

Welcome back, knife fans! Today we’re diving into a sleek new release from Tenable Knives – the Beaver. With standout design choices and solid materials, this knife brings a compelling mix of form and function that’s sure to appeal to collectors and everyday users alike.

Unboxing Experience

Right out of the gate, the Tenable Beaver makes a strong first impression with its eye-catching packaging. The box sports clean, modern fonts and the Tenable logo front and center. The color palette is sharp, complementing the knife’s bold styling. On the back, you'll find product info and branding details.

Inside the box, you're treated to a few nice extras: a microfiber cleaning cloth, a couple of Tenable-branded stickers, and of course, the star of the show – the Beaver itself.

Design & Variants

The version we’re reviewing today comes with a dark red aluminum handle, but Tenable offers a total of five different variants, each with its own unique handle finish and vibe. Whether you're into minimalist tones or bold colors, there's likely a Beaver that fits your style. As of this review, all five variants are available directly from our website.

Handle & Ergonomics

The aluminum handle feels sturdy without being too heavy, and it’s shaped to provide a comfortable, secure grip. Measuring 4.59 inches, it fills the hand nicely and offers good control during use. The handle includes a lanyard hole for customization and a reversible pocket clip, which makes it lefty-friendly and versatile for different carry preferences.

Lock & Deployment

The Beaver features a crossbar lock, known for its reliability and ambidextrous ease of use. Deployment is smooth and snappy, thanks to thumb studs on both sides of the blade. If you're into fidget-friendly knives, this one definitely checks that box.

Blade Details

The blade is made from Nitro-V steel, a stainless steel known for excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance – a great choice for EDC users. The drop point blade style makes it versatile for a wide range of tasks, while the flat grind ensures solid cutting performance. The stonewashed finish not only looks great but also helps hide wear over time. On the spine, you'll find jimping in just the right spot for added thumb traction and control.
