Overview
The “Thin Blue Line” is a symbolic reference to the role of law enforcement as the barrier that prevents society from descending into violent chaos. To honor the service and sacrifice of our nation's police officers, Spyderco created the “Thin Blue Line” series, which showcases unique versions of some of our most popular lightweight knives. The tough, fiberglass reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle scales of these knives are injection molded in black accented by a bright blue lining. When assembled with a matching blue FRN backspacer, they create a compelling visual metaphor for the “thin blue line.” Unlike the standard expressions of these models, the VG-10 stainless steel blades of these knives also combine the low-friction edge geometry of a full-flat grind with the extreme cutting power of Spyderco serrations. They are also laser engraved with the motto “To Serve and Protect” to honor the service and sacrifice of law enforcement professionals. This compact Delica 4 Lightweight showcases a full-flat-ground CombinationEdge blade in a Thin Blue Line FRN handle.
In addition to their uniqueness, “Thin Blue Line” knives also benefit a worthy cause. A portion of all sales of these knives will be donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which honors firefighter Stephen Siller's sacrifice of laying down his life to save others on September 11, 2001. Tunnel to Towers operates multiple charitable programs that support first responders and military personnel who have made the supreme sacrifice of life and limb for our country.

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. The full-flat-ground blade of this knife is available in all three edge configurations and is paired with a handle featuring bright blue FRN scales, non-slip Bi-Directional Texturing, a sturdy LinerLock mechanism, and a versatile four-position pocket clip.
