Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web
C246 Insistent:
"Since its introduction, the Spyderco Efficient has earned a loyal following among knife enthusiasts who appreciate a versatile folder that is both pocket and budget-friendly. It has also inspired demand for a smaller "gentleman's" version that carries even more discreetly. The answer to that calling is the Insistent, which scales the Efficient down by about 14 percent and adds a reversible deep-pocket wire clip oriented for tip-up carry.
All other features are consistent with its bigger brother, including a full-flat-ground 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade, a choice of PlainEdge or CombinationEdge™ configurations, skeletonized stainless steel liners, a stainless steel backspacer, a sturdy LinerLock mechanism, and textured G-10 scales."
