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.

Product Description Great Product Review: Outstanding Value! - I purchased this knife a few months ago to fill in for a Kershaw knife that was more than twice the cost, but has a serrated blade that required sharpening and did not seem to hold an edge well at all. I just wanted an inexpensive EDC knife since I was kind of disappointed in my expensive Kershaw knife. Maybe I set my expectations a little low, but I was still really excited to get this knife based on other reviews. I have to tell you that first impression I was EXTREMELY impressed, but still skeptical about how it would hold up long term. So, now I am writing a review after using it for tons of stuff over the last few months. I have opened boxes, cut a lot of rope and paracord, whittled wood, shaved fletchings off aluminum arrows and lots of other everyday tasks. I was curious how the 8Cr13MoV steel would hold an edge, and WOW, it is still really sharp, and I haven't even sharpened it yet. Let me tell you just how sharp it is...the other day I was working and practicing opening and closing it with one hand sitting at my desk. I wasn't looking at it and just trying to repeat the process over and over. As I was closing the knife I saw something white fall on my desk and when I looked down there was a fingerprint the size of a pea laying on my desk. I looked at my hand and realized that when closing the blade it had shaved off the skin of my index finger so thin that my finger did not even bleed! Now that is SHARP! One last example to point out. I was working on a Cub Scout outing and we were making survival bracelets out of paracord with about 80 people. We had a lot of paracord to cut to length and we were doing it on demand as kids chose their preferred color. A few other people were trying to help and had their pocket knifes out and just making a mess of the paracord because they could not cut through all the layers cleanly. Now, this may not be the ultimate test of a knife, but I let someone borrow my knife to cut it when they were having trouble and they absolutely fell in love with it. They were amazed at how sharp it was and how fast and smooth it cut the paracord. Again, not trying to say that paracord is so resilient that no other knife can cut it effectively, just that in a real world scenario it stood out well above every other knife that others were trying to use that day. For a knife that I was hesitant to buy because it kinda looked weird compared to knives I have owned in the past, I think I am now hooked on Spyderco and will probably end up with a collection. I was online shopping for a Spyderco for my wife and decided to write this review in the process. I hope my experience helps you make a decision. UPDATE 11/11/13: If you haven't bought this knife yet or are still on the fence, get off the fence, this knife rocks! I have been using it for 8 months and I absolutely love carrying it. I have never had a knife that I enjoyed the opportunity to use as much as this knife. I also bought a Spyderco Byrd for my wife and it is a great smaller option for her smaller hands and pockets, but with the same high quality steel. With this knife I finally understand what I have been missing with other pocket knives all my life...yes, it's that good, and for the price the value is off the charts. 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.

The video is in HD which is way too large to host here. Please watch video and comment here or there on Youtube. I'm really happy with the quality of the iPhone 5 which took this 7 minute review video.. WHETHER LEFTY OR RIGHTY, it is an education in the design of the Spyderco Persistence. I hope my knife demo helps LEFTIES especially to see that this knife is going to be a bit harder to close than if you were right handed. A cut across the top of my left thumb was an example of how your hand crosses the blade unlatching lock, as where it works much differently as a right handed user folding the knife one handed. Now on to the written review, let me know if the video was helpful, it is my first video here. I just got this today. I read so many reviews, but more so watched dozens of Youtube Videos (and suggest you do to) to see the differences in the three size from Tenacious (largest) to the Persistence (this one) to the Ambitious, the smallest. I can not talk for the largest, nor the smallest - but this Persistence is an amazingly TIGHTLY BUILT KNIFE! I shaved sheet paper in 1/8th inch wide strips from the tip to the bottom of the blade with no feathering or resistance - sharp out of the box. BEWARE TO US LEFT HANDED PEOPLE: although you can rearrange the belt clip using Torx wrenches (guess wrenches is the right word) so that the blade will face up or down or either side by moving the incredibly spring steel pocket clip (which will never fail you - I cannot see this knife EVER falling loose from your belt or pocket - no way. BUT, if you look at both sides of the knife where the area is rounded out for your thumb to deploy the blade, a RIGHT HANDED deploy has more then a quarter inch ramped thumb groove to grab the blade. Even with the spring pocket clip moved (and ideally you want this blade POINT in your pocket for easy deployment) but using your LEFT THUMB JIMPING of the blade lock/release between you and the thumb hole. IT DOES NOT INTERFERE DEPLOYING THE BLADE, but closing it ONE HANDED as a LEFTY is quite difficult. You need a strong thumb to release the opened blade and as the knife closes, your thumb is still in the way. CLOSING THIS WONDERFUL KNIFE AS A LEFTY HAS A LEARNING CURVE - BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE. As a RIGHTY, it is a fast open, east unlock stop and close with all fingers out of the way. I like this so much, I could not rate it lower. Lefties your thumb will be in tge path of the blade as it closes. I have the black color, the grip is comfortable and secure feeling. Even with the issues mentioned above, I would not give this knife even 4.5 stars - it is a 5 star knife. If it were redesigned, to be exactly ambidextrous - then this version might just get a 4.5. Until then, get this incredible tool, no wiggle, no movement - solid. And feel what a TRUE 5 star pocket knife this is. DON'T LET THIS review DETER YOU - I hope I have helped, a knowledged consumer is rarely disappointed - and this knife will not disappoint. ## Frequently Bought Together - Spyderco Persistence Value Knife with 2.77" Stainless Steel Blade and Durable Black G-10 Handle - PlainEdge - C136GP - Spyderco Ambitious Value Knife with 2.31" Stainless Steel Blade and Durable Black G-10 Handle - PlainEdge - C148GP - Spyderco Ambitious Lightweight Pocket Knife with 8Cr13MoV Stainless Steel Blade with Black FRN Handle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://mauritius.desertcart.com/products/2536595-persistence](https://mauritius.desertcart.com/products/2536595-persistence) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mauritius* *Store origin: MU* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
