The Persistence Lightweight combined the compact size and proven features of this time-tested design with the weight-saving advantages of injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales. This version takes that evolution a step further, supercharging its performance with American-made CPM-S35VN blade steel. The unique chemistry of this steel promotes the formation of niobium carbides along with vanadium and chromium carbides, enhancing its toughness without sacrificing wear resistance. The full-flat-ground blade of this knife is available in all three edge configurations and is paired with a handle featuring bright blue FRN scales, non-slip Bi-Directional Texturing, a sturdy LinerLock mechanism, and a versatile four-position pocket clip.

S35VN Stainless Steel
An evolution of the popular S30V steel, S35VN offers a greater degree of toughness without much sacrifice in edge retention. Perfect for mid-range and premium knives.
Great knife. Well made. Steel seems really good. Minor issues.
I am pleased with this knife.PROS- excellent steel- great design, very comfortable to hold- smooth action - we'll set liner lock lockup- flat grind has superb cutting geometry- terrific edge out of the box - fit and finish are very good- blade is just perfect in every way. CONS- jimping is a little too aggressive. Would rather have none. ( I never see reviews for people asking for jimping when not there or more aggressive jimping when it is there. Don't know why it is found in so many designs.)- liner lock had a little bit of sharp edge on top where meets blade. Did not feel good on thumb or finger. Filed it down with a ceramic stick. That fixed that. Tried to reduce jimping edge in same way. Steel is so hard, slow going on that. - typical Spyderco since they went years ago to metal clips. The handle design against clip is really hard on the fabric of your pocket. I wish they'd tone down the texture of their handles. But this is long time Spyderco issue in my view. The old clip-it design was less cool but much easier on the pocket. All in all, this is a great knife. It's very well designed and made. Would absolutely buy again. Rather it was not made in China but I knew that when I bought it. I can highly recommend this.
