I have grown to realize one important part of my EDC knife is that it is not just a box opener, it has to be the knife I have with me in an emergency situation, both natural disasters and roadside accidents. It should have Rescue abilities. By this, I mean a window breaker and seat belt cutter. A small attached LED light and a Ferrocerium rod is an advantage, since this may be all I have in a SHTF situation. I like a hefty 3″ to 3 1/2″ blade, with at least 1″ serrated edge since this is going to be my knife for making kindling and tender. If I have to be on my own for a while, the ability to gut fish and small game is important. Since both my thumbs have been rebuilt, a spring or gravity assisted, locking blade, with a thumb stud is important. My hands need all the help they can get.

if you like the persistence you will love the Sage one sv30 and carbon fiber and belive it or not better action better clip (more money but well worth it) i carry a Sage 3 as a lefty i have other knives that cost more but at the end of the day is could only have one my Sage 3 would be it

In reply to ricardo.

The Cat does look like a great EDC option. I like the wire pocket clip too. Looks like it would allow for a deeper carry in pocket. It doesn’t seem to offer tip down carry though. Personally would not a problem for me since I carry tip up, but would be an issue for some people.

My previous EDC is the Ontario Rat 1. I now have a Spyderco Cat 2.5 blade with 440C steel. This knife has a wire low carry pocket clip and G10 scales and a liner lock. I purchased this knife on Amazon for 39.99 dollars. In my opinion the Cat beats the Persistence as the best EDC.
