Anyone happen to have a Tenacious, Autonomy 2 and Resilience they could photograph together in that order?

If not, maybe one next to a Pacific Salt?

I've been considering the Autonomy 2 as a premium feeling, linered salt knife for EDC.

My only reservations are it potentially being a bit small and the auto nature.

But, I'm guessing being an auto it has really good closed retention compared to the caribbean with its light detent.

Think I should try one out?

How about an Autonomy 2 with a very abused Tenacious and an Endura?


It's a very well made knife, whether it's for you or not is something only you can determine. Very unlikely to open accidentally and, if you're the least worried about that, it even has a safety you can use to lock it closed. To be honest, the only autos I ever carry are OTFs.

Thanks Paul. Looks like it'll be a little smaller than I prefer, but big enough to work.

Saw your thread on the Stretch XL Salt, thought maybe a comparison shot with a Stretch XL might be in order. Personally, aside from the possible "cool factor" of an auto and the added rust resistance, I'm not sure what the Autonomy 2 brings to the table compared to the Stretch XL.

I've come to really like Spydies with no choil thanks to carrying my Resilience souch lately. Also love salts. Thought it'd be cool to have a fully lined, premium feeling salt. Love my lightweights but every once in a while I like to carry something different.

I'd prefer a manual version if they made it, but I can live with it being an auto.

Lol, the Autonomy 2 has a perfect handle size. I have thick sausage fingers and wear XL-XXL gloves and I still have room on the handle.

disregard.

2 out of 3 ain't bad.
