Spyderco Insistent

Since its release, the Spyderco Efficient has gained a devoted following among knife aficionados who value a multipurpose folder that is also affordable.

Additionally, it has sparked interest in a smaller, more discrete “gentleman’s” version. The Insistent, which scales the Efficient down by around 14% and adds a reversible deep-pocket wire clip orientated for tip-up carry, is the response to that call.

Other features include a full-flat-ground 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade, a choice of PlainEdge or CombinationEdge configurations, skeletonized stainless steel liners, a stainless steel backspacer, a robust LinerLock mechanism, and textured G-10 scales. All other characteristics are consistent with its larger sibling.
