Spyderco Resilience C142GP 4.2" Folding Knife

Spyderco Resilience: Built for Everyday Performance

The Resilience represents Spyderco's commitment to producing knives that work as hard as you do. This is a straightforward, capable folder designed for users who demand reliability without unnecessary complexity.

Blade and Edge

8Cr13MoV stainless steel forms the foundation of the Resilience's 4.2-inch blade. The full flat-ground geometry provides excellent cutting geometry and edge retention for general-purpose tasks. The plain edge maintains its sharpness through extended use and is easier to maintain than serrated alternatives.

Handle Design and Control

The black G10 handle scales offer excellent grip in wet or dry conditions. Jimping—cross-hatched texture—runs along the spine to prevent thumb slip during cutting strokes. Skeletonized steel liners reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity, and the screw-together construction allows for field maintenance and customization.

Locking Mechanism and Action

The Michael Walker LinerLock provides secure blade retention with a smooth, intuitive release. Phosphor bronze washers around the pivot ensure smooth deployment and consistent action over time. This is a knife that operates smoothly from day one and continues to perform reliably.

Carry Options

The hourglass-shaped stainless steel pocket clip is four-way compatible—carry tip-up or tip-down, left or right-handed. This flexibility means the Resilience adapts to your carry preference, not the other way around.

The Spyderco Resilience is an honest knife for honest work.
