Review on πŸ”ͺ Spyderco Persistence Folding Knife - 2.77" Blade, Stainless Steel, Black G-10 Handle - PlainEdge (C136GP) by Jeremy Gums

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Superb blade, thoughtful product and great knife EDC

This is a phenomenal knife. I received it as an EDC (everyday carry) knife and it is perfect for that purpose. Not a day goes by that I don't use this knife to cut, slice, slice or open something. This is a really handy blade. I bought this knife because Spyderco is known for its size and great design. Spyderco's reputation is earned on this product. I know that when I first bought this knife (many years ago) I had some concerns that Spyderco would outsource its production. I can't comment on the specifics, but I can say the quality hasn't suffered if that's the case. This knife is strong yet agile, powerful without feeling clumsy. The perfect size that ultimately gave this knife its edge over other similar offerings from Spyderco. Tenacious is this knife's slightly larger brother, but even with this slight increase in size, the knife feels too big for everyday use and is something to worry about. At the other end of the spectrum is the very similar Ambitious, which is slightly smaller, seems too small to get most work done, and probably too small for most people's hands to comfortably grip. Perseverance is really what you need. Finally, the elegance of this knife's design lies in its simplicity. The open handle design keeps the blade clean and light overall. The grip in the hand is strong. Linerlock is durable and easy to use. The thumb hole is conveniently located and allows for easy opening of the blade while keeping the knife firmly closed until you want to open it. Do yourself a favor and get this extremely useful knife.
