Compact Frame. Upgraded Steel. Built to Cut Hard.
The Spyderco Persistence Lightweight CPM-S35VN takes the proven compact design of the Persistence and elevates it with premium American-made blade steel. Crucible’s CPM-S35VN delivers a finely tuned balance of toughness and wear resistance, thanks to its niobium, vanadium, and chromium carbide-rich composition.
Its full-flat-ground SpyderEdge blade offers aggressive cutting performance, especially on fibrous materials, while the bright blue FRN handle provides lightweight durability and non-slip Bi-Directional Texturing. A skeletonized stainless steel liner and stout liner lock ensure solid lockup, and the four-position clip allows for fully ambidextrous carry. Small in size, serious in capability.
