Spyderco Persistence Lightweight Folding Knife CPMS35VN Combination Edge

The Spyderco Persistence Lightweight Folding Knife combines a compact, proven design with premium CPM S35VN steel and a lightweight, rugged build. Built for everyday carry, this Persistence delivers dependable cutting performance in a package that's easy to carry and comfortable to use. Bright blue fiberglass-reinforced nylon scales give the handle a distinctive look while Spyderco's Bi-Directional Texturing provides a secure, non-slip grip.

The 2.75-inch blade is made from American-produced CPM S35VN stainless steel, a premium powder metallurgy steel engineered to provide an excellent balance of toughness, wear resistance, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Its specialized chemistry promotes the formation of niobium carbides along with vanadium and chromium carbides, enhancing toughness without sacrificing the wear resistance needed for hard-use cutting. The full-flat grind creates an efficient cutting geometry, while the CombinationEdge configuration gives you both a PlainEdge section for controlled slicing and a partially serrated section for cutting fibrous materials such as rope, webbing, and cordage.

Measuring 6.85 inches overall and weighing only 3.3 ounces, the Persistence Lightweight won't weigh you down during daily carry. Its 4.12-inch closed length keeps the profile compact enough for pocket carry, while the 3mm-thick blade provides a solid balance of strength and slicing performance. Whether you're opening packages, trimming cord, breaking down cardboard, or handling everyday utility tasks, this folder is ready to get to work.

The bright blue FRN handle scales are injection molded from fiberglass-reinforced nylon, combining durability with significant weight savings. Spyderco's Bi-Directional Texturing adds traction across the handle, helping maintain a firm grip when conditions aren't ideal. A sturdy LinerLock mechanism securely locks the blade open during use while allowing straightforward one-handed operation.

For carry flexibility, the Persistence features a four-position, ambidextrous pocket clip that supports tip-up or tip-down carry on either side of the knife. This adaptable setup makes it easy to configure the folder around your preferred carry style, whether you're right- or left-handed.

Compact, lightweight, and equipped with premium CPM S35VN steel, the Spyderco Persistence Lightweight CombinationEdge is a capable everyday folder that doesn't compromise on useful features. With its bright blue FRN handle, grippy texture, dependable LinerLock, and versatile clip, it's built for reliable performance wherever the day takes you.
