That's alot of boxes! A dream for alot of us on this forum :D

Maybe a couple months ago, I found the Resilience at my local big box store for $11. I bought the last two they had and gave one as a gift. Haven't used it yet, but the handle seems like the near perfect shape and the lack of the 50/50 choil makes so much sense on a knife that size. If it had a back lock, it may kick the Endura out of my pocket. As far as 8cr13mov, I've had lots of experience with it in the Byrd line and and haven't had any issues, apart from needing sharpening more often.



Used my Endura to break down a pizza box and before that, I used it to hypnotize Tigris:

I got mine at Wally World for $25. I had a close call with my Endura at work, and thought it was gone for good. So I decided to only carry this for a little bit. So in a way, it did kick my Endura, just for different reasons. And great pic!

Chopped some seasoned hardwood at just the right angle to roll the edge of my hatchet pretty well. Didn't have my Wave with diamond file today so I used the back of my Police LW blade as a steel to correct the worst of the damage. Worked well.

Fantastic hatchet, I have one myself. Cuts great for the size.

I have it’s big brothers, an X15 and X25. I’m surprised by their performance, and when splitting with the X25 I don’t have to worry about overstrikes damaging my careful work halting my Kelly perfects!

I’ve read that much like Spydercos, the edge stability and holding improve after the first couple sharpenings.

Took the WolfSpyder out with the 17Hornet this evening; couple of rabbits and squirrels for the pot.

Used the Maxamet manix lw to open some bubble wrap and anti static packages to remove the new parts to program...like using the Hubble telescope to take a selfie :rolleyes:

Great way to spend an afternoon and I like the idea of a silencer. They’re illegal here which is a shame ... I wouldn’t mind one particularly for my .220Swift. :)

Put a (crude) “true” scandi edge on the WolfSpyder and whittled a couple of try-sticks/trigger:

Carves beautifully with the zero edge but it may not hold up.

Thanks but if you look closely you’ll see it’s actually a bit of a mess!

Impromptu heater hose repair on a friends truck.

Cutting, prying, scraping... worked well in a small place. I’m kinda surprised it survived. Tough little lady.

I agree 💯!! That's amazing, and a gorgeous knife as well.

Put my m390 para3 lw on 6-year-old birthday party duty - freeing toys from security packaging that's built for the Hope diamond, and breaking down all the boxes afterwards.

My step daughter is going to be 8 in January...best make sure my knives are in tip top shape these next few months :p Amazing how difficult they make the packaging these days for these toys with the clamshell AND plastic tie wraps! I've seen scissors break at parties trying to open these things haha!
