It's a perfect folding knive for an office kitchen

Real dream !

Good knife

After some time of usage I am really pleased with Spyderco Resilience in this CPM-S35VN variant. Positives: Eric Glesser did a great job in designing this knife. It is a nice & big folder, yet quite "pocketable" and reasonably light, with plenty of cutting belly and a nice "leaf" blade shape. From the first sight it is Spyderco - certainly but a different one. Blade-scale geometry is very good for the kitchen works and food preparation. It suits me even better than renowned Spydiechef as it has a longer blade allowing efficient cutting without knuckles coming in touch with cutting board. It is sturdy enough to withstand even a cutting of resistant materiel - however it is no "tank", so I would recommend to save it from chopping, prying or stabbing. Linerlock works just fine and allows a flawless single-handed open/close operation. Some light jimping on the scale's and liner's back (in continuation to jimping on blade's back) would be a nice touch - however, it is not a must. As regards the fit and finish, everything was fine, blade was nicely centered, no play, no burr. The bronze washers are reasonably thick and suit to frequent kitchen use better than the bearings do. Blade steel is very good, its factory sharpening angle I found slightly behind 17 degrees per side. I will stick to 35 degrees inclusive angle when time of sharpening emerges. Edge could be more even as it got a steepier angle toward the pivot, but it cuts efficiently, flat grind helps here. The blade was not razor sharp, but I had no such expectations. The scales are made from a blue-tone FRN, fit is perfect, grip is great, even for wet hand. Personally, I would prefer the G10 thicker scales, even for some additional 20 grams of weight, but the FRN ones are fine. Steel clip is holding its position and pre-tension and the screws are securing it just fine. Quite a difference to my previous Endura knife where the clip shows some play from the very beginning. The clip makes the Resilience protruding from the pocket for an inch, so grabbing and pulling it out is a simple task. I prefer a tip-up carry as it fits the pocket better and hinders less inside. Of course, you can choose your best clip position out of four possible. Negatives: I would prefer the solid steel liners on this knife as the holes (milled inside liners) collect the lint and debriss. But this can be cleaned readily. The next thing that could be criticized is the price as 140€ almost doubles the price of original 8Cr13MoV version. But I payed for it and I do not regret that as the S35VN version of Resilience fullfils everything I require from EDC knife.

Coltello che unisce ottimi materiali alla garanzia Spyderco, che quasi mai sbaglia una tempra. Dimensioni grandi, che invogliano ad un uso pesante, ma ricordatevi è sempre un folder. Impugnatura con texture che favorisce il grip sia in avanti che indietro, rinforzata con generosi liner in acciaio. Lama in acciaio "tecnologia delle polveri", il CPM S35VN fu fra i primi ad essere studiati per i coltelli specificatamente, e dà ottime caratteristiche in tenuta del filo, resistenza alla corrosione, resistenza agli urti. Abbastanza facile da riaffilare, ma consiglio sempre un kit con pietre al diamante. Molto buono! Ci fosse anche in CPM Cru-Wear...
