My Persistence arrived and i'm really pleased with it. Flicking smooth after i got the hang of it, sexy blade shape, a grip that's not too sticky or slippery. Minor gripes would be the clip in a tip down position (have to buy damn allen keys and also worry about the screws stripping), a sloppy finish on the handle groove, not shaving sharp out of the box, blade surface not sanded down properly. Really major gripe is the jimping on the liner lock. It gets painfully uncomfortable to operate after a few repetitions, nutnfancy mentioned it on his vid and i didn't think much of it, until now. Am i complaining about the knife? No! I love it but the deficiencies are as it is, just pointing them out. Delica will be my next acquisition, slimmer blade shape( and so thinner overall) and lighter, just sucks they don't have it in black else i would have grabbed one already.
