I was just checking out the description of the new, smaller version of the Tenacious model, which they're calling the Persistence, and while reading through the ad copy on the KnifeCenter's page for it, I noticed something that amused me. Spyderco said:
"Depending whom you ask, Persistence means different things to different people. It means continuing without veering off course or changing function or structure. It describes ongoing existence regardless of interference or challenges. Some even say persistent personalities experience déjà vu more frequently due to their repetitive drive. We thought it a great name for a knife as it also means steadfastness and never-give-up-attitude. Spyderco’s C136 Persistence is the smaller version of the Tenacious Model, another reliable descriptive of human nature."
You gotta admit, that's pretty funny, and it reminded me of someone mentioning, last year, in a thread on this forum, that they'd done something funny with the ad copy for the Tenacious as well, and I remember it mentioned the term "vexing" in it.
I certainly got a laugh out of it!
