Available from Seattle Cutlery when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

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.
