Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
when I bought my first Resilience it was a G10 model used for $40. Figured I'd check it out then maybe use it as a glove box knife.
I liked it, but it didn't really wow me.
FRN versions came out and I ordered a blacked out CE. Really liked it. The G10 version admittedly felt a lot better, but I loved the blacked out look and lighter weight. I also haven't been able to rust the blacked out version, while I can't say the same for the satin finish g10 model.
Since doing a scale swap and making a blacked out G10 CE Resilience, it's become my favorite knife to carry.
Not sure why it took a scale swap to really make things click, but I've fallen in love with this design. The large neutral handle, lack of a choil and tall full flat grind all work great for me.
Only question is should I make the next scale swap Resilience PE or CE?

IMHO the Resilience gets overlooked because there's nothing flashy about it. Just a solid functional utilitarian 4.2" edge to handle blade. Dunno how well S35VN will hold up to your sweat, but I like mine a lot. A bit more corrosion resistant than S30V if I'm not mistaken. Pretty solid GP knife in my book. PE. The Spydie hole is even polished.

Another knife throwing session in the woods.
(Pretty good or just very lucky grouping on that plastic bottle for my standard. This was from a distance of about 8 meters/about 26 feet).
I rarely throw my Spydies, but this time I did: The Endura actually throws quite well, and the wood of that rotten stump was so soft that I was not worried about doing damage to the knife (and I threw it from just about 4 meters and deliberately not on the bottle).

Sinse I got this I have loved everything about it. I love all my Spydercos. But this one fits hand so nice. And it's sexy. And everything people say they don't like about it, for example how thick it is, I like lol. Don't let others opinions weigh too heavily on what you like.

Got a day off so I’ll probably “carry” all of these at some point today, after I do some clip swapping. I hadn’t bought a new Spydie in months and then…
