Daddy likes the big blades and sometimes that's just what you'll need...even in a folder. Well check this: for around $50 you can score a large, quality-built tactical folder. You can thank Spyderco for that options. Enter the outstanding Spyderco Resilience model. It's another TNP "Hall of Famer" that gets just about all the details right: big 4.5" leaf shaped full flat ground blade, uber fast deployment (Teflon and phosphor bronze bushings, good balance), strong stop pin, tight lockup up, pillar construction, strong clip position-able to all four corners, excellent jimping, reasonable carry weight (5.2 oz), and excellent fit and finish. Yes the 8Cr13Mov blade steel ain't the best: it will rust on you if you don't take care of it (I call it semi-stainless only). But it sharpens easily and holds an adequate edge. If you want to increase cool factor and increase its rust resistance you can coat it with a high quality option (DuraCoat currently preferred for its colorations and relative durability). The medium traction/quality G10 scales are adequate but not impressive. The knife carries relatively deep in pocket and the lanyard hole (which is tubed) is larger than "baby bear" and "momma bear" in the lineup (Persistence, Resilience). In handle retention also has been improved (forgot to show that) and is no longer seems to be an issue. Value is extreme: around $50, give or take a few but I wouldn't sweat a few bucks. POUs will center mainly on emergency defensive knife or food preparation blade (yep) with some guys even pressing the Resilience into the EDC role (too big for me). Highly impressive, representing excellent value, the big Spyderco Resilience impressively rounds out the Tenacious family. This big blade might be just the thing to have for bad times. //////////////// Nutnfancy Likability Scale (price considered): 10 out of 10
Just a note, I have a Tenacious which is rarely off my person and I live in an area with very heavily salt laden air, it's all but an island. Most of my wooded haunts are close to the sea. The steel on my knife has no signs of any corrosion after 3 years use. Amazing what a little cleaning and a smear of wd40 can do. And yes, I use 1095 carbon knives too, the same care package works for then too.
Got a Resiliense because of this positive review. Great knife! Nice blade, easy to sharpen, and easy to open and close. I've got a lot of knives but this one is my new favorite!
I am now the proud owner of a Resilience, after losing my Tenacious. I met a fellow TNP'r at work, turns out chatting with customers pays off. We got to talking about knives when I noticed his Benchmade Barrage, I showed him my EDC pick of the day (Kershaw Skyline) and mentioned I just lost my Tenacious. He came back the next day and gave me my new Resilience. Awesome dude, made my week!
just ordered mine, finally! Thank you Nutn! your vid helped me pull the trigger on this one. I know I wont be disappointed
Sadly, someone stole BOTH of my Spyderco tenacious(s?) out of my room during a party, but this looks like a great replacement!
Thanks for all your work nutn, I enjoy ALL of your vids. The time you put into these videos benefits so many people, and helps get the word out about good gear; keep it up!
keep it up!
Awesome!! I've been considering the resilience for a couple months now but now that I've gotten to see it up close I definately want one!! Great review as always, thanks Nutn for taking the time to show us another great high value blade!!!
This is the first EDC blade I ever bought. I LOVE IT.
108,000 views...dude, you deserve a ton more. thats a lot, and congratulations, but you deserve more, not going to lie. nutn puts in so much work in his videos, puts them out like an assembly line, and they are QUALITY videos. educational and fun.
keep going man, you rock.
PERFECT timing Nutn, I was just looking at them since they came out and told myself it was another MUST have Spyderco, well your review solidified that for me. Well done as always.
@deadcoww Thanks for the thoughtful response. And yes, I try to represent what I feel are interesting and valid viewpoints on the gear even when they differ from my own. I learn a lot from the comments of guys like you under the vids. I remained amazed at the quality of experience and logic of TNPrs. Sometimes I feel like that bumper sticker, "Which way did they go, how many were there, how fast were they going...I must find for I am their leader."
The Resilience is really an awesome knife...for the size of the blade which you get it really doesn't feel like a big knife when it's in your pocket. Ever since I picked it up I can't seem to leave home without it. Thanks for all the great video.
AWESOME
I love it when nutn unexpectedly reviews an item ive been wanting a review of!!
Now i can get one!
I don't live in the woods. My main blade purpose is mostly personal admiration and fondling, mail opening, package opening, and that self defense (firearm backup) that I hope (99% sure) will never happen. This Resilience knife opens and closes with less effort than any other knife I own, for real!, (including my $200 Spydercos, Benchmades, my beloved $500 Sebenza 25 Carbon Fiber grail level knife, etc.). I pulled Resil out and played with it watching this vid, (don't try to tell me you don't pull yours out and play with it during knife reviews.) Oh, Oh, Oh... Yeah Baby !Resilience opens and closes with no effort, is light, sharp, locks confidently, rock solid when open, melds like concrete with the hand, and is looong in bite. I LOVE this blade, TOP of the pile, and my typical knife collection purchase is $130 - $500. Frickin great buy for my young friends with limited funds.. I am an old dude, with a young mind you can trust.
Thanks for the review. I have been looking for a larger folder to have a secondary EDC knife. Oddly enough in California there are no blade length restrictions on folders. So I can legally carry a resilience here. One of the tasks I had in mind was food prep. I have a delica which I LOVE. I was looking at the endura as an option. The only real advantage I can see to the endura over the resilience is that I can get the endura in purple. But I should be focusing on first kind of cool and value. Yes it would be pretty cool to have a purple endura to match up with my purple delica and purple leatherman juice XE6. But the resilience would probably be a better value. It has a longer blade than the endura which would probably make it more useful for food prep.
Thanks again for turning me on to this knife NUTN.
I have several expensive folding knives and ill say I find my tenacious and persistence the best of all my knives for carry...the rest stay in the house....great knives and great review, as always...
As you always say, have layers. For me this blade is awesome as a third blade, i.e. edc, defensive/tactical blade, and a small backup knife. I believe the Resilience serves the defensive/tactical role perfectly. When bad times come up, I would always go for a knife of this size. As always great video.
I've never had a Spyderco before (normally because of prices), but recently I have had to chance to order one...and I chose the Resilience....looks like a great EDC...and honestly this vid impacted my choice lol :P
Slick knife, the Tenacious was my first ever EDC blade and I absolutely love it, this would make a nice addition to carry in my bag or when traveling. Keep up the good work Nutn!
@ArchNME Cool...but there are several comments on the vid asking about the gloves. But I appreciate the input!
Nutnfancy: You rock dude. I found you through the Glenn Beck Program GBTV, and the first video I watched was WROL, and I thought 'this dude is right on, I like him'; then I watched more vids, and then I subscribed to your channel (my only subscription in YT, btw) and you continue to impress me, I'm 53 yrs old and I feel you're my friend already, I've been watching for the last 2 months every day, sometimes I watch the same video 3 or 4 times (Mcusta ssshculpted); your enthusiasm is contagious..
Great video nutn, love these old school knife reviews.
don't mute the swoosh sounds, their part of the charm.
If you're looking to grab one, they've just gotten back in stock! amzn.to/2aeJgAZ and www.cutleryshoppe.com/spydercopersistencec136gpnew-1.aspx both have it at the lowest prices around. :) Doodle
I always find myself agreeing with everything Nutnfancy says in his knife reviews, and I'm more than positive that I'm not alone. Fantastic review! Gotta add the Tenacious family to my Spyderco collection
You can't fake that passion! Haha, damn right you can't!
Love to hear you mention food prep. I have used my Endura 4 FFG in the kitchen a couple of times.
we love the whip sounds! dont tone that down!
@DaRealRincewind Thank you...great comment. Glad you can get these knives in Germany albeit they're ot exactly cheap. A European brand is getting review next...hang on.
this dude cracks me up. love the video
whip sounds are your signiture! dont mute. enhance. great vids.
I can't wait for the shotshow stuff. Good work Nutn!
Cool video. I live about four miles from their headquarters here in Golden, Co. I am not a knife guy, but I went in when my buddy brought his in to get sharpened and I'll tell you what, I was blown away by their showroom. Really cool people to. When he got his back, it looked like a brand new knife, they even re did all the serrations on the knife. Great knives, great company.
@deceptivepanther Awesome buying advice from a UK TNPr...thanks for putting that out there for our guys. I had no idea on that.
@TheEvrael Thanks for saying so...still thinking about it. It would be cool.
Guys like you are making life hard for sick knife fanatics like me.Great video!
One thing I love about that leaf blade, when the tip breaks you can easily get it back with a little reprofiling
My biggest folder has arrived. This thing is a monster, but not too heavy given the size. Nutn you are right about it for food prep, this thing is better than any kitchen knife we have! Out of the box it was extremely sharp and the pivot just needed a slight adjustment as it was a little tight. Deployment is now very fast, I think the big blade helps with this as it carries some momentum once it gets going. I painted the clip black, as I don't like shiny clips. Thanks for the review.
My philosophy. .. big knife(resilience) with a pocket gun(380), a small knife (dragonfly ) with a big gun (full size pistol )
@Wereupunder You made a great purchase and will love the blade brother. New Graham's prices sometimes aren't the best but I still love those guys and they have great selection and service.
hi ya, this knife is on the backburner at the moment, use a tenacious with half serration to clear the grain from my spring feeders on our shooting estate,I keep on telling the boss to buy finer grain but his pocket dont listen. I have been using tenacious Hard for two years now and sharpened it the other day to shaving. Must get the resilience sometime, but the only thing it would be used for is butchering, and there are good hunting knives for that. Maybe I will just get it because its such a good knife for the money.I use an old K Bar a lot still, it must be 30yrs old, its amazing what duck tape can do, if youve been in the forces you will know what I mean, we used to say that HM Forces was held together with the stuff.L.O.L.
@cartogropher .. the 'commercials' mean you've made it to the mainstream with the public on youtube. nutnfancy should be proud.
good and fair review as always.
Awesome! I looked at the Resilience yesterday and now you deliver the review! Thanks!
@fishlanding Great comment dude, thanks. I especially like "I'm speculating that wearing gloves keeps you from exploring your nasal cavities" ...man you got me pegged!
I bought my spyderco resilience for $80 and then found out I can go online and buy it for around $40 I said hell with it I love it I think it's quality is way more than $80 and I never returned it I actually edc this everyday haha!
Great review! Just got this for Xmas and the quality is EXCELENT. Its my first spyderco and I like it a lot!
I just picked one up today I love it.
Pretty much the best knife you can get for the money.
Just purchased mine from cutleryshoppe. The Tenacious and Resilience is in stock and it shipped next day. Great amount of Spyderco knives in stock, prices are great, and shipping is quick.
yes keep the whip sounds Nutn' and btw congrats on making 750 vids! best wishes for many, many more stay safe bro.
@drumrrr83 And the funny thing is these are the very same guys that will ask to use your blades when the need arises. I have that happen many times in my military job and I always using it as a teaching moment for the unprepared, effeminate individual that fails to have at least one blade in his possession. Lots of fun to be had there. Today my loadout was as follows: Benchmade 710 (tactical blade), Delica FFG (utility), Victorinox Cadet (utility) and of course a beloved Leatherman Juice S2.
@shaynemcallister Good point dude and you're right about that. I say just clean it well afterwards and if you want to make sure soak in a bleach/water solution. Still is a great slicer in the kitchen.
luv the whip sound effects! rock it dude!
lol, I love the cadet cameo at 09:20!! hahahah
Awesome review, as usual, Nutn.
...and your passion for liberty is awesome; I'm proud to be a subscriber to your channel dude, seriously; from philosophy to guns to knives to gear and beyond, your reviews are as you say "sick"; very nice work; I have a YT page that is empty and I am about to load your vids there just for the joy of having them repeated. Thank you very, very much for what you do; oh, and your family rocks too, you appear to be an excellent husband and father, and I feel proud to be an TNP'er. Keep up the cool
What do you use to engrave your blade? It looks so clean compared to mine with a dremel.
KNIFE ROCKS!!! i used my Tenacious for a year as an all around knife, mostly in the kitchen!!! and it was amazing, only problem was short blade. and with that length Resilience will be perfect!!!
Tip...a small strip of non skid, or skateboard tape on the clip, (where ring finger naturally rests) will greatly increase grip, and add speed during deployment!
I just picked this up at BP last week. Put my sharpening skills to use and bumped up the sharpness. This thing is nuts. I absolutely love this knife. It fits my mitts perfectly.
I slightly bent my Persistence clip recently, but then again I bent my Delica clip on multiple occasions and broke it once. Suffice it to say I blunder into corners a lot, so I test my clips thoroughly and the Persistence has done very well so far.
Bro! Never give up the whip sound effect!!! :D
Got mine today and have already cut the end of my thumb halfway off.I love it!
Great video Nutnfancy, thank you for your effort. It paid off well.
I really really like Spyderco knifes mostly for their design.
I kinda ignored the Tenacious for a long time because it looked so bulky and because of the "bad" experiences I made with Spyderco. But I finally bought one a few months ago and have to say: Great knife! Build like a tank and it never let me down.
As soon as I saw the Persistance and the Resilience I was sure, I have to get my hands on those two. So thank You for the excellent review on these beauties.
Greetings from Germany.
I have my own resilience, which i bought after watching this vid shortly after being posted. it has become my edc and is literally beat to hell. good working knife
My wife made a loaf of banana bread for me to bring to the office. Oops, forgot to bring a bread knife! Intro.... Spyderco resilience! It worked great slicing the loaf. The long 4 1/4 blade is awesome. True Story.
ahhhh, sitting down to enjoy a nice Nutn video before bed.... priceless
Also, currently EDCing the CRKT M16-SFG (tanto). Back pocket carry has the flippers chewing up my jeans.
a little modification that I do to all of my G-10 knives is to take off the pocket clip, and sand with moderately high grit sand paper (350-500) and smooth out just underneath where the clip is. Not too much, in order to keep pocket retention, but just enough so that it doesn't rip holes in your pants.
I currently carry a Gerber Gatormate (soon to be retired) and a CRKT Hammond Cruiser. The Gatormate is soon to be replaced by a CRKT Ripple (influenced by the nutnfancy review!). Other blades make the rounds when the system calls for it: MTech Moray (rarely), Ka-Bar Acheron (also rarely), SOG Jungle Canopy, Buck 107, Ka-Bar Piggyback (LOVE that little knife!), Leatherman Super Tool 200, etc. I'm a knife addict with a fast-growing collection!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO XD after so many times this video still cracks me up. Especially how he reacts in the beginning. WHAT!!?? You've GOT to be kidding me!!
I watched this video so many times... I love it.
Nutn I was smiling during the whole video: When you talked about the possible food prep function, I totally guessed it out loud before you said it. When you rolled in the photo of the DejaVu I also guessed that one out loud before you said it. I think I've been watching TNP for waaaay too long...wouldn't have it any other way :P Your knife reviews rock something fierce!
Thank you for review. I just bought one. Its Awesome!!! Totaly love it. 20 out of 10 on my likeability scale.
Should I get a dura coat on my micro tech socom delta and if so who could I trust with my favorite knife ..?
i love your sense of humour dude with the breakin' out the metric system *yowsa!* n stuff... hilarious :) i believe this is one reason why your product review videos are so popular.
Hey man it's me again just wanting you to make a vid of the benefits of tip up carry over tip down and I just ordered the resilience can't wait to get it
Just ordered one because of your detailed video! Thanks for the great review!
Great knife! Big but very flat (like benchmade 710). No quality issues on my sample. Sharp out of the box and g-10 has a great grippy texture - sweet spot for me. I can recomend it to everyone who likes big blades.
Been watching most of your reviews on different knives and love them all. Problem is here in Australia, knives are ridiculously expensive due to taxation and laws... this bad boy here may cost only $40 in the US, but here it costs over $200AUD... I guess it definitely ain't for free hahaha... even the tenacious is between $130-$150. My recon 1 folder was $130AUD...
The Angry Tourist cher bro got one from top gear last year $100 sweet as G my fav shop.
Hey Bud,
Great review definately good entry blades to the Spyderco Family! I turned on a good friend to the Resilience, and He wants one really Bad!
Thanks Nutn" always love the reviews!
Merry Christmas to the whole Nutn'Fancy Family!
Thanks again,
Charlie
i just got my tenacious after i saw your review! im so satisfied
I turned this down for the tenacious but still want it lol. Surprisingly you gave this a 10 and the tenacious an 8.
these damn spyderco knives... When i first started watching TNP, I thought they were the uglyest knives. But now that my Kershaw collection is complete (for now) these things are growing on me. YCS has the whole tenacious family, so i bought the damn things.
You better be right Nutn!
Yeah food prep!
@BkbladzZz it is a spyderco collectors club number.. (like 1-600 for example are reserved and offered to members b4 general release) if members dont collect the blade after a certain timeframe Spyderco send them out to their dealers to be sold, hope that answers ur question mate
great vid again might look into one of these did not know this existed and i have owned both tenacious and persistance before , the only thing i dont like about them is the liner lock
never had a problem with them but im not a liner lock fan .
thanks again nutn
It wouldn't be a Nutnfancy video without the whip sounds, NEVER GET RID OF THEM!
Dude, the way you say "uh huh" makes me laugh every time. It's great.
I have a plain edge and combo edge pair of Tenaci (plural). Great blades, and thanks Nutn for the recommendation.
@TheAlConnor Tough question, I got 'em both :) This one has a slighty longer blade. Weight and folded length are about the same, and both deploy quickly. Both are great choices IMHO, probably come down to which blade shape you like.
Love it Nutn, thanks for the review. Spydercos never connected with me for whatever reason (2nd type of cool issues) until I saw the Foliage Green Tenacious, now I think I have the sickness. When a green Resilience comes out, I'm all over it.
@Nutnfancy Have you found that the relief edge needs to be brought back? or do you think it would even be worth it on such an inexpensive knife. Love the review.
Hey Nutnfancy When will you do a review on the Tops Silent Hero!?
I just purchased the resilience. I don't have a folding tactical knife and for the price I swooped on this. i got this since nutn recommended the skyline and i love the blade. I have this blade for a week now and its easy to carry, blade sharpness is outstanding. 2 things i don't like about the blade. 1) the liner lock needs to be recessed down like the skyline. to easy to bush the liner lock off the blade. 2) mine has blade slop. tried to tighten it up, but the screw wont go any farther .
Love my Resilience! carry it just about everyday since i got, great to see it has the TNP stamp of approval! it just a great big arse blade, top review Nutn' rock on brother!!
@shingouki666 You are wise and that's a great system you're rocking there. I think the SOG Flash II as a tactical blade is usually very overlooked. I carry it often too.
Godspeed to you Nutman....
I love the whip sound effects! I love my Persistence, scratched it up, learned how to sharpen with it.... yep it looks a little jacked up now but I don't care.... under $30 some dollars delivered !
Made overseas? .... get over it people, the designers and CAD engineers and the Company are American!
Great review.
And oh yeah I'm speculating that wearing gloves keeps you from exploring your nasal cavities :)
I got a tenacious a week ago... I got my persistence today... now i find out i still need the resilience... >.< thanks a lot, making me spend MORE money...
I EDC this blade. Awesome fit for my hand super sharp and it looks slick when deployed. Sweet knife.
I already have a tenacious and was amazed at the quality for the price. I might be adding the resilience as well !!!
I love the wip sounds
@nutnfancy Thanks dude! I actually started thinking more about what and how I carry thanks to the TNP. Your reviews help alot, it ain't gospel just a friendly opinion. It helps.
God bless you Nutnfancy. People always look at me weird when I carry more than one knife.
