Spyderco Resilience Lightweight Folding Knife Review CPM S35VN Steel

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

My review of the Spyderco Resilience Lightweight with CPM S35VN steel. This knife features a very sharp 4.2 inch full flat ground blade and new lighter handle scales. The handle is big enough to accommodate even XXL size hands. The big brother of the Spyderco Tenacious, the Resilience offers a lot of reach, grind area, and edge length to work with. The blade shape is great for slicing, piercing, draw cuts, mincing, push cuts, and sheering cuts.

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

GOOD PRICE FOR THAT STEEL...ASSUMING THIS IS A DELLICA 4 SIZE...U MUST HAVE TINY HANDS. KNIFE LOOKS QUITE LARGE SEMPER FI GUNNY

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

THEY NEED TO DO THIS TO THE ASTUTE !

[@ssunfish]

My old Resilience delighted me so much, my friend gave it to me!

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

What a great friend!

[@ssunfish]

He's incredibly generous!!!

[@PowerMadHeadBanger]

In my humble opinion if you gonna go small it has to be fixed. Now if you gonna depend on a lock it has to compensate by giving me reach. That's the size I think that makes sense for a folding knife if you can legally carry.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

You know I like the large folders, for sure.

[@ssunfish]

My friend had this and Tenacious. When I held Resilience the size made me grin ear to ear! I was so excited to hear it was coming out in my favorite steel! Now that I have it I want to Frankenstein engineer a knife with the best things I like about each version of Resilience! It would be a favored EDC for me!

[@fiercebone825]

Been waiting for this one. Love your old review and testing of the original resilience.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thanks, my friend!

[@DShiflet01]

I have one of these ordered but the package has been waiting to be "accepted by the post office" in Virginia since the 7th, and Knifecenter's customer service doesn't seem overly concerned by that. Got the Tenacious version awhile back as well.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Glad you are getting one! Sounds like they sold them pre-order but didn't say they were.

[@DShiflet01]

@@WeAllJuggleKnives I dunno, they were listed as in stock when I ordered, and the package shipped out 2 days later. It made it to 1 post office, then was "shipped" to another one but the other one has not accepted the package for some reason. It seems they may have lost it.

[@davidkurle5418]

Looks like an awesome knife. I've got an old tenacious and I've always liked it, but getting an upgraded version sounds pretty good to me. Thanks for the great review of the resilience, my friend. Cheers!

And yet Repala was marketed as a folder food prep knife. In S35VN this obviates Repala

So it's a third inch longer than Stretch II XL.

[@ramonvelasquez8431]

Hey bro, good stuff there. I'd like just to ask real quick here, do you think that the Kershaw Link (in 20CV) or a button lock such as the Hic Cup by Kizer are ok for self defense, what do you think? Cheers!

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

I think there is nothing inherently wrong with a button lock, I have an old Hogue EX01 Tanto that is a button lock, and a lot of people use it for a defense blade.

[@ramonvelasquez8431]

@@WeAllJuggleKnives sounds good. I think something like the Hogue Deka should be over civivi or kizer in quality, but it's still good to know button locks do well too in that sense. Ofc I do not plan on using mine "tactically" but as a knife enthusiast is good to know you can count on a piece if you had to. Thanks!

[@smoklares9791]

Could someone recommend a knife with the same blade length but a cheaper Chinese equivalent?

To bad it is over four inches. Illegal here. Anything under four inches is legal. Shame.

[@cocabandi]

I'm happy that Spyderco is upgrading their Tenacious family models. I own a Persistence and a Resilience, which have been in use for a decade now. The Resilience made for an excellent camping knife and now that I'm more home bound, it still gets lots of use in the garden, my all around Beater! The new version with improved steel and a lighter FRN handle makes for a sure winner for those needing a larger blade. Nice review.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thanks, my friend! Same here, that whole line of knives has served me well over the years.

[@carmelotansengco4605]

Call me crazy but among my collection of large Spydercos, my Resilience in S35VN is my second favorite right behind my Military 2. Weird huh considering I have a Yojumbo, Manix 2 XL, Native Chief and Police 4 LW. I guess I also really like my regular Resilience but the only things keeping me from carrying it more are the weight and the blade steel. It is a razor but how long is the edge going to last? Still really like it though.

[@javierortiz70]

Good review. I’ve had one for a few months now. Makes a great beater knife. My only criticism of the S35VN Resiliance (and S35VN Tenacious) is that despite the “premium” steel, their fit/finish and feel are no different than the inexpensive 8CR13Mov FRN models. Mine has a wonky edge grind, but it’s sharp and is a solid feeling folder.

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

Sweet ass knife, Spyderco is the shite lol. Shit I still love my budget resilience and tenacious. But when I bought my PM2 I fuckin love that thing lol. Expensive as hell but a good blade. Cried when I broke the tip though, still carry it every damn day lol.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Definitely a top notch company. Their typical blade shapes, handle shape, and grind are a winning formula, and then the variations and materials offered puts the cherry on top!

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

@@WeAllJuggleKnives Most definitely brother.

[@carmelotansengco4605]

Mine arrived yesterday (06/01/2024). I have the standard Resilience with black G10 and 8CR13MOV blade. I just wanted more. I also have the Tenacious in S35VN. This lately, I've been so into my less expensive Spydercos.

[@NGMonocrom]

She's a Looker. (Sadly, not street-legal in my neck of the woods due to the blade length.)

[@John..18]

Always liked this one, but we can only get it in 8cr13mov, over here, so that's why I've not got it already,,, maybe one day, they'll let us have it in decent steel,, Great video btw.

[@scribebat]

Ya, S35VN, has my seal of approval, will take a very fine edge yet stay nice and toothy, pretty tough, hold and edge fairly well. Only recently got my own first blade in that steel. Had looked at the Spyderco, the full flat ground blade really appeals to me, makes it really slicy (#1 thing a knife needs to be able to do, at least in my book, is to be able to cut; the thicker the stock and more obtuse the grind, while maybe stronger, the less well it will cut). The Spyderco's pretty light weight for a knife of that size. Some people don't like FRN that much but i've got an ancient Schrade "clip hanger" (model CH7, U.S.A.) with very light weight Zytel scales, one of the first liner lock knives (saw the one hand open/close on that and figured better snag one before it gets outlawed). The Zytel is very similar, people complained about that back when, said it felt plasticey, coming from stuff like Buck overbuilt wood/brass folders, a hard sell. But the scales on that knife look pretty much the same as the day i bought it over 50 years ago, found the exact same knife in a graveled road that had obviously been run over by a big truck, the thumb stud was gone but the scales and blade were still fine, hardly a scratch, still worked. The only thing about the Spyderco, that one's made in China. That might be an issue for some these days. Myself, wound up with Cold Steel's Recon 1, a little heavier with the G10 scales, maybe not so quick to operate as the Spyderco, but is also in S35VN, about the same size (pretty big), about the same price now (got mine just under the wire before price went up) surprisingly slicy, ergos are decent and made in Taiwan. Personally, i'm of a mind to support Taiwan a bit more than China at this time. China's got some PR issues they need to work out. Awh, no vid of you throwing it? Abuse you say? iduhknow, way i figure, if it can't stand up to what your average 12-year-old might subject it to... ;-)

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

I was surprised it was made in China, most of their more expensive knives are not. Companies like Kizer bought a large amount of the CPM S35VN steel to put into their knives, so I believe it was made there because that is where a big surplus of the steel was located. But, it does help keep Crucible (US steel company) in business.

[@scribebat]

@@WeAllJuggleKnives Yes. But it is unlikely Crucible has much to worry about. It's unfortunate, there's some pretty nice stuff at very reasonable prices coming out of China these days. Civivi, for one, clearly wants everybody's business. It would be good if one could feel proud to carry something with a 'made in China' label but we can still respect the manufacturers. Nice knife! Congrats! 😎

[@marcelhoffmann6843]

i also see this „bar“ so what about the police or military, can it compete them?

I think it can, it is wider so it's better at least for the food prep.

[@ssunfish]

I was mad the finish on mine wasn't even and the sharpening was ragedy. I think we should check and pay attention if Spyderco quality is tanking!

[@LIE4ME]

Nesting those liners would have been amazing.

[@ibanez7412]

I own the cheaper 8cr13 version, and use it allmost every day in the kitchen for years now. It started out lik that just for fun, but the design is really good for these tasks. I only have to sharpen it every 2 weeks, but that is also the case with allmost every standard kitchen knife

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

For sure, mine has served me well over the years also!

[@doejon9424]

Excellent review buddy! Spyderco is my favorite knife company & s35vn is a HUGE upgrade over the junk 8Cr13MoV in the original base model. I hated their 8Cr13MoV. Dulled very quickly. Quicker than any other "named" steel.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thanks, bro, this is an excellent Spyderco, so worth it
