Spyderco Persistence Lightweight
Item #: SPC136PBK
$51.75
The Persistence is a smaller version of the Tenacious, the first in Spydercos Value folders made in China. The quality is similar to Japanese or American produced Spyderco® knives and the price is much lower.
The new Persistence Lightweight takes this pocket-friendly design to the next level by swapping the original G-10 scales for injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN). FRN scales reduce the knife’s weight by almost 10 percent and add the enhanced non-slip grip of a Bi-Directional Texture pattern. All other features are faithfully consistent with the original, including an 8Cr13MoV blade, full stainless steel liners, a LinerLock mechanism, and a four-position pocket clip.
The 2-3/4" modified drop point blade is 8Cr13MoV stainless at 57-59 Rc. It is ground flat from spine to cutting edge for top cutting capability. The blade's shape coupled with an oversized Spyderco® Round Hole and textured spine jimping allow you to open the blade and position your thumb on the spine with confidence - ready for work. A liner style lock (with jimped liner) and a 4-way pocket clip allow for tip-up or tip-down carry and left-hand or right-hand opening. Measures 4" closed and weighs 3.3 oz. Made in China. Suggested retail $69.00.

Spyderco
In 1981, Spyderco ventured into the world of knife making by introducing their first folding knife, the C01 Worker. This knife was the first in the industry to feature a round hole in the blade design that allowed for fast, one-hand opening, now the company’s trademark, and the first to feature a pocket clip. The trademarked round hole is the most recognizable feature of a Spyderco knife and it facilitates the easy opening and closing of these knives with one hand while also offering convenient access and maximum control while opening as well as accommodating large, small or gloved hands.
Spyderco’s recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomically functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. Spyderco’s knives may look unusual, but they will never be called unusable or undependable. When you purchase a Spyderco knife, you are buying a high quality reliable cutting tool that was designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort.
