The Spyderco C142GP Resilience delivers reliable cutting performance in a full-size folding knife designed for demanding everyday carry tasks. This robust folder combines proven 8Cr13MoV stainless steel with durable G10 handle construction for consistent performance across multiple applications.
What Makes This Different
The Resilience features Spyderco's signature round hole opening system, allowing one-handed deployment without thumb studs or flipper mechanisms that can snag or fail. The 4.2-inch drop point blade provides 30% more cutting edge than standard 3-inch EDC knives, while the full flat grind maximizes slicing efficiency. The oversized design handles heavy-duty tasks that smaller folders cannot manage effectively.
Key Features
- 4.2-inch 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade with 58-60 HRC hardness rating
- Full flat grind drop point geometry for versatile cutting applications
- Black G10 handle scales with textured surface for secure grip
- Spyderco round hole for ambidextrous one-handed opening
- Liner lock mechanism with steel lockbar insert for blade security
- Four-position pocket clip accommodates multiple carry orientations
- Lanyard hole for secondary retention options
Field testing demonstrates the 8Cr13MoV steel maintains a working edge through extended cutting sessions while remaining easy to sharpen with standard equipment. The oversized handle provides leverage for processing cordage, food preparation, and utility tasks where smaller knives prove inadequate. The G10 scales resist moisture and maintain grip security in wet conditions.
