Spyderco Persistence Reviews

This is my most EDC'ed blade.

For the price is nutts...a must have.

I'm not worried about beating the crap out of this blade one bit.

Perfect EDC size. Love the shape of the blade.

It came sharp and will take a wicked edge.

Very fast deployment with the spydy hole.

Lock up is superb.

Blade play is non-existent.

Clip is movable to 4 positions.

G-10 handle.

Man I could go on and on....Get one

It keeps finding it way back to my pocket all the time.

The Spyderco Persistence was my first real knife which I received as a christmas present about 3 months ago.

Initially, I tried to use it as an everyday carry knife, however I just couldn't get into carrying a knife every I went.

For a while, I left it in my car, and it came in very handy countless times. It has also made its way into my office and still proved to be useful there. I have considered getting another one many times so I will always have one lying around when I need it.

In terms of build quality, this thing is sturdy and SHARP! Any time I need the sharpest tool that I own, I grab my Persistence. I also like how this knife feels very study in my hand.

The only thing that I don't like about the knife is that when extending the blade, there are actually two clicks. One right before the blade locks, and one right as the blade locks. You can still really feel the knife lock into place on the second click, but I have had a few close calls when using the knife after only extending it past the first click.

Overall the Spyderco Persistence has proved to be an incredible tool to have for a huge variety of purposes.

The Spyderco Persistence is both a really great knife and a really great value. The Persistence is the younger brother to the Spyderco Tenacious. The knife has impressive build quality. The knife is a great size for every day cary. The blade is just shy of 3 inches, which means there is enough cutting edge to handle your daily cutting tasks but not quite enough blade to make people uneasy around you. It's pretty compact and could evven pass as a gentleman's knife, although personally I think this knife fits better in the hard user category. The steel is 8Cr13MoV, which is a copy of AUS8. It holds a decent edge, but does occasionally require some sharpening. The blade is full flat ground, and is ideal for slicing. The blade tip is ideal, shaped appropriately such that it is not too delicate. The thumb hole is nice, I prefer it to the thumb studs. The hole is easy to find and I find the thumb studs to be a bit clumsy sometimes. The lock if very beefy liner lock that snaps tight every time. There is no blade play noticable. The liner lock is housed in G10 knife scales which provide adequate grip in both dry and wet conditions. This knife definately can take a beating and I'd highly recommend it.
