Its fatigue-reducing black G-10 handle and skeletonized steel liners provide ergonomic strength without extra weight. Designed for versatile carry, it includes a four-way reversible pocket clip and an oversized round hole for easy one-handed opening. Ideal for everyday use, outdoor activities, and professionals seeking reliable precision in a lightweight package. ## Description desertcart.com Spyderco named this knife "Persistence" because it's made to be ever-ready, durable, and versatile. It's a smaller version of the company's popular Tenacious model, with a milled black G-10 laminate handle intended to reduce fatigue while cutting. Skeletonized steel liners are tucked inside the handle, increasing rigidity and strength without adding weight. An 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade is a modified skinning style, ground flat and capable of holding a keen edge over time. The oversized round hole is positioned relative to the blade's pivot point to optimize one-handed opening and closing and, when it's time to be moving on, the four-way pocket clip lets the folding knife sit tip-up or tip-down, left- or right-handed. Features Milled black G-10 laminate handle reduces fatigue during use Skeletonized steel liners for added strength without added weight 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade is ground flat Easy one-handed opening and closing Four-way hourglass clip Screw-together construction Phosphor bronze washers Spine and liner jimping Specifications 6.8-inch overall length 2.75-inch blade length 4.1-inch closed length 3.3-ounce weight 0.5-inch hole diameter Three-millimeter blade thickness Warranty Sypderco knives include a limited manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Product Description Great Product Review: Tenacious and Persistence: why not both! - Wow. I grew up in the knifemaking community in the 90s and have had a lot of pocket knives over the years up to around $250. Over the last 10 years I've stuck to mostly Kershaw and Benchmade and haven't bought a Spyderco in at least 15 years and I have to say I'm really glad I did. This review is for both the Tenacious and the Persistence Both knives benefit from good stainless steel blades and liners, G-10 handles (which used to be standard on top-end knives) with plenty of grip, great jimping for the thumb, 4 position carry, and great lockup. These knives are a steal and probably worth double to triple the price if made in the US - even though it is made in China you never would know if it wasn't on the blade. The Persistence is a great little box cutter and light to mid duty knife: it has a very good 2.75-inch blade, sharp, and is both comfortable and fairly secure in my hand but there is not quite enough room to get what I would consider a truly secure grip. Overall I would say it is the better everyday carry (EDC) knife for someone who does not have a large number of heavier tasks (myself included) and does not frequently wear gloves while working. The Tenacious is one heck of a knife and for a 3 3/8-inch blade this thing is massive. Because of the thumb hole the the blade is very large and the handle ergonomics are superb. While this knife easily capable of light duty tasks, it's real edge over the Persistence is going to be heavier tasks. The handle is much larger and allows a stronger and more secure grip for heavier tasks and I believe will remain so even when wearing work gloves. However, due to it's size it is a bit less EDC friendly both because it takes up a lot of room in the pocket and is going to be more intimidating in public for less knife-friendly crowds; locally pocket knives are restricted to the 3-inches or less blade so I'm very much debating returning it versus just keeping it for home and outdoors tasks. Review: Perfect EDC - I ordered this knife on a Saturday and received it on Monday afternoon. WOW!!! Extremely fast delivery and I had it shipped using the Free Super Saving shipping option of 5-8 days because it was over $25.00. I couldn't believe how fast I received it. Once again WOW!!! Ok now on to the knife. The meat and potatoes. This is a great knife. It is a little bigger then I expected but I think its a perfect size for EDC. I was suprised at the size of the blade it is a little wider then I thought but now that I am playing with it I actually prefer this to a thinner blade. I carry a pocket knife everywhere I go and they seem to come in handy at the most random times and it seems like no one carries them but everyone needs one. I personally do not like little knives and that is why I think the blade on this knife is perfect. It came extremely sharp and with a fine point tip right out of the box. It effortlessly cut thru a piece of paper. I really like the jimping on the spine of the blade. My previous Gerber(Great Knife Company as well) did not have this and I think it makes using the knife feel much more natural, and effortless. The patent oversized hole on the blade makes it easy to open, I prefer the hole to a pin/bar. The blade is easy to extract with minimal effort and it has this nice smooth feel, and it has absolutely no play either front to back or side to side. I would compare the smooth easy opening of the blade to the smooth glide of a Cadillac. LOL ;) The handle is great I really like the texture and feel of the G-10 handle. This material is great for using it here in the Greater NW especially outdoors in the rain. The lock on the knife is placed on the inside of the handle and is easy to use one handed for right handers. If you are left handed it might be a little harder to use. You might want to look into one of Spyderco's ball bearing locking systems, they are much easier to open and close for left handers. The clip is a little stiff but I am sure I will work it in after a few months, but I prefer it that way so its not sliding around the rim of my pocket. It stays where you put it until you need it. Also what is real nice is you can move the clip to customize how the knife sits in your pocket, blade up or down or you can move it if you are left handed. I personally prefer to wear my knife in one of my back pockets opposite my wallet(I am left handed so my wallet goes on my left but I use my knife with my right so this works for me but might not work for everyone) and the stiff clip makes it so it doesn't slide which is nice especially since I sit on the knife. I have read in previous reviews that the screws are kinda soft so be careful when removing and tightening them because you do not want to strip them. Overall this is a great knife that I would recommend everyone own/add to there collection. The price is perfect for this knife. Even though it was made in china it feels like its American made. The box is a little simple and it didn't come with any paperwork or directions on how to clean or even how to change the positioning of the clip which would have been nice, but you can access all that information on the website. Its just nice when you get it in the box. ## Features - A Value Folder: Spyderco offers a unique breed of knives that truly live up to their name.

I know someone else who bought the Tenacious, but honestly that was a little bigger than I needed. I was looking for something that didn't take up too much space in my pocket, but could still cut like a bigger knife. Things to consider: G10 handle is excellent, great for the price point. I prefer non serrated blades, as they're a little easier to sharpen. For ease of opening, I prefer the thumb hole over the stud. The jibbing is large and curved, easy to hook your thumb onto for secure cutting. Time tested liner lock. Multiple attachment points for the clip, I keep it tip up in my front left pocket. I've had expensive knives before, unfortunately lost a really nice Benchmade. That's why I bought this one, I wouldn't be torn up if I lost it or something happened to it. I purposely came back 9 years later to review this knife because I almost lost it tonight! Forgot I had it on me and couldn't get into a venue due to security. Left it on the top of the tire of a parked car nearby and hoped it was still there when I came back. Fortunately it was, but to be honest, if it was gone I just would have bought another one to replace it. Fantastic price to value ratio, super durable, and hasn't shown a single sign of wear aside from the blade. I've sharpened it many times over the years without fail.
