Spyderco Persistence Lightweight Folding Knife - PlainEdge with Black FRN Handle

Truth be told, one size rarely fits all. For those who want all the qualities and budget-friendly advantages of the iconic Tenacious model in a slightly smaller package, the Persistence is the perfect answer. The Persistence Lightweight raises the bar even further, adding the benefit of handle scales injection molded from tough fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN). The molded scales reduce its weight by almost 10 percent compared to its G-10-handled counterpart and offer enhanced grip traction with a bi-directional texture pattern. All other features remain consistent with the original model, including a full-flat-ground 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade, full skeletonized stainless steel liners, a four-position pocket clip, and a sturdy LinerLock mechanism. The Persistence Lightweight is available with a satin-finished blade and brightly finished handle hardware with a choice of plain edge, partially serrated combination edge, or fully serrated edge configurations. This version features a plain edge design. For tactical environments, or for those who simply prefer the look of an all-black knife, it is also available in plain and serrated edge formats with a black oxide blade coating and black-coated hardware.
