Spyderco Persistence: Pays Off Big

Back


This the little brother to the also excellent Spyderco Tenacious is another impressive blade. That knife, reviewed by me in August 2008, has become a home run for Spyderco. It remains a very popular EDC and folding tactical knife choice that continues to enjoy brisk sales. Thats because, as stated before, it represents an outstanding value. The Persistence is the same exact knife as the Tenacious, just slightly smaller. The weights are surprisingly similar however: 4.0 oz for Tenacious, 3.6 oz for the Persistence. This more compact form factor will lend itself the competent fulfillment of most EDC duties (although I still feel a narrower blade will do some tasks better). The feel is solid, balance is good, the deployment is rapid (thanks to the phosphor bronze bushing), and the lockup is flawless on the Persistence. The full flat ground 8Cr13MoV blade is beautifully finished and I think will handle most cutting tasks very well. Like Japanese-made AUS8 steel, 8Cr13MoV is a high carbon (.8%) stainless steel that is balances corrosion resistance, edge holding, toughness, and ease of sharpening well. Just like big brother, the little knife also features textured G10 handles, skeletonized SS liners, a strong liner lock (from all appearances), functional jimping on both the top and bottom (!), and the good Spyderco polished 4 corner clip. At this $30-ish price point, it is another mind-blowing high value blade from Spyderco (that is similar in some ways to their wonderful Caly3 blade). So once again we can see that when a small sum of money is invested wisely, Persistence can pay off big. /////////////////////////// Nutnfancy Likeability Scale for Spyderco Peristence: 9 of 10 (price considered) /////////////// Music from www.partnersinrhyme
