Thanks for your reply once more!ladybug93 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 10:16 amthe resilience is not a ridiculous size. it’s not much longer than the endura. i feel it’s a more robust and durable knife though. personally, i’d rather use the resilience than my pacific salt in the woods. i love my pacific salt for its intended purposes, but it’s not a hard use knife. i’ve grown a little skeptical of the resilience (see what i did there?) of frn backlocks. they are great for edc, but they are not confidence inspiring (to me) for anything that pushes the limits of a knife.
i also own a cold steel recon one xl. maybe that’s why the resolience isn’t crazy big to me. my pacific salt was my first knife that approached 4” and i remember thinking it was big when i got it. now, i find the pacific salt and resilience to just be a really nice and comfortable size. with that said, i still mostly edc my manix lw or yojimbo though.
I've never handled a Resilience, so I can't compare it to the Endura to be honest.
The Pac Salt you mentioned does not have liners, right? (Never had one, so I am not sure).
Because when it comes to frn backlocks constructed like an Endura, I have to disagree with you. I definitely think those ARE quite "hard use" knives actually. In fact my sabre grind Endura is probably the "hardest use" folder I own, it feels quite undestructable to me... just my two cents of course.
