Spyderco Persistence Lightweight – Black with Satin 8Cr13MoV Blade – C136PBK

About 11% smaller than the Tenacious, the Persistence was designed to provide the same affordable convenience, versatility, and strength, but in a more compact format.

The Persistence faithfully offers the same key features of the Tenacious, including full, skeletonised stainless steel liners, peel-ply-textured G10 scales, a secure LinerLock mechanism, and a four-position clip that supports left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry. Its blade is precision machined from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, which is a durable, reliable blade steel that provides an excellent balance of cutting performance, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. Its high, full-flat grind creates impressive edge geometry for low-friction cutting efficiency and, unlike most Spyderco folders, its edge extends all the way to the handle. The minimal ricasso (the unbeveled area of the blade nearest the handle) and lack of an index-finger choil provide a full-length cutting edge, superior control when using the “heel” of the blade, and exceptional cutting power when the full length of the edge is brought into play. This lightweight version with injection-moulded fibreglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales, moulded with Spyderco’s signature Bi-Directional Texture pattern, provides enhanced grip security and reduces the overall weight of the knife by almost 10%.
