I tend to like the bigger blades as I have large hands and use my knives in the kitchen a lot, and since the Tenacious is smaller than the Endura and more Paramilitary sized overall, I think I want to start with the big boy Resilience.
I've never been against buying Spyderco's that come from Asia. I applaud China and Taiwan for manufacturing to such high standards for Spyderco. What has become of Schrade and all their cheap ripoff nonsense could learn a thing or two, but they won't and they don't care to. The US is still the world leader in the folding knife industry from what I can see. Is there a special program from these knives to get taxes back to Colorado?
I have relatively large hands and tenacious fits pretty well. For me resilience's blade size is too big for daily utility uses. Oh and tenacious blade is a bit bigger than para1.
Spyderco is in CO so any profits to the company are paid into state income tax...plus the income tax paid by the Golden employees....plus the sales tax from the goods they buy and property tax...Not a big tax fan mind you, but if your gonna contribute to a state the CO is a good one!
BTW...Here is a size comp between the Ten. Res. and Endura

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

Ah gotcha. I'm good with supporting CO. I'd like to think buying Emerson's will support CA but not likely this state is screwed.
Thanks for that pic, great comparison! I want to handle the Tenacious and Resilience to compare, ugh I might have to buy both!
I spent 30 some odd years in CA...Got out 5 years ago...don't regret leaving one iota. Life is fantastic out here!

You'll love life outside the fishbowl man! Living is more affordable, the people are nicer, the traffic is nothing, and people respect your natural rights more...like being able to concealed carry or EDC a real knife without people freaking out.

only downside is the 5.5 inch blade limit- the reason I had to sell my cold steel espada XL =(
Ah well, it was AUS8 steel anyway, who uses that anymore :p
