  • hell yeah my edc knife - Benchmade model 51 balisong

  • lol, I love the cadet cameo at 09:20!! hahahah

    Awesome review, as usual, Nutn.

  • Tenacious is out in full black... Cool!

  • Ordered my Resilience last night along with an S2 Juice after getting payed for working at a wedding. Best. Day. Ever.

  • I don't have a tenacious, but I do have a Sogzilla large in Black Tini. I do still plan on getting on eventually!

  • Correction... Little Brother Baby bear.

    

  • Spyderco came out with another addition to this family. The Ambitious, it's smaller than the resilience, but still shaped like the tenacious. To use nutn's terminology, it would be the baby bear.

  • For me its simply to big to be a practical EDC. I have the Spyderco Military too but for an EDC I would carry the Persistence.

  • HAAAWWW com on! i carry bigger blades in mi fakin pants and it's just well i mind,seriously? you nutnfancy? i believe that you may like big folders D: i mind...self defence? :)

  • Zip tie snag plox.

  • Man I have to order one! dang it.

  • I lost my Tenacious fishing last year. =(

  • @nalgaslaper At least it was not one of those $200 blades, but still kind of sucks.

  • @Jesses001 true 

  • @Jesses001 Tried it, its actually about ten times better than clumsy wigglin crackin spyderco flagships - enduras.

  • Hey Nutn', I just Gifted this Super High Value Blade to My Good Friend and co-worker Tony, thanks to "YOUR GREAT REVIEW!" You are driving Me to the Poor House!!! LOL!!!

    I am not much of a gun guy, but have loved all of" Your Knife REVIEWS, DUDE!"

    Great job reviewing, in Your entertaining manor that You are Famous for!

    Keep up the Great Reviewing!

    Always a Fan,Always have been, always will be, and a " KNIFE FANATIC, like You and most of Your audience!"

    Thanks so much,

    Charlie

    PS: Pimp this too!

  • Would love to see you defend the Resilience against the CS VOYAGER XL (Plain Clip) @$50.

  • @phrankus2009 Me too! I was sold on the Voyager until I saw this review.

  • Nice knife. I want one!! Thanks for depleting the funds, Nutn. lol

  • fucking commercials 

  • Here we go Just below there's a guy admitting to Murder for drug money -- will the cops ever figure out how to break the U-tube privacy code -----Not the greatest geniuses in here hey cowboys .

    Anyway on a better subject --the length of the blade is perfect for my knife drawer to cut veggies -- not vital organs there chewbaca -and folded it takes less room.----- As Mr. Fancy said its way too big for edc -- but the Tenacious is just the right size .I carry the Ambitious

    since I work in an office

  • Damn straight! i love it when theres a review of a knife im about to buy already done by nutn. friggen legit reviews.

  • its worth a mention that the screws and bolts on this whole line are crap. Once replaced though, these are some of my favorite knives

  • I LOVE the whip sounds, you got me doing them now... :)

  • MrStogieMonster1988 shut the hell up

  • i scraped up a nigga w/ the tenacious. bout 20 times in his stomach a few to the neck. works good cuz he dead

  • @MrFuckhed first off if i believe you (big if) then you should give a back story either you were attack or an asshole murderer try those things often and you'll end up shot

  • @tubevideoguy762 why do i care if you believe me or not shit still happened and anyone who fronts 10k in percs and cant pay for them cuz they either did them or sold them and used the money on different drugs deserves to get bodied. 45 is too loud btw and we got shot detectors where im from on top of that

  • @MrFuckhed good for you as the saying will go you'll live by the sword and end up dead by the sword have a good rest of your life

  • What is the whole family?

  • @zulfster From sizes going from smallest to largest it goes: Ambitious, Persistence, Tenacious, then Resilience.

  • @TheHidenKnife well this guy seems to think you can carry a knife where ever the fuck you want...

  • I don't have a tenacious and I never will. I just cant get past "made in china"

  • Just ordered one because of your detailed video! Thanks for the great review!

  • i dont have one. and deffinetly not by choice i can not find them anywhere, they are always out of stock!

  • @TheMoxyMan1935 I just ordered one from Amazon for $39.59, they're always in stock there along with a lot of Spyderco knives.

  • 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

  • Great Knife-Tipp!! thx

  • its illegal to carry knives in some places you know..

  • my friend has one of these. He likes it, but lookin' to sell it. He's not a fan of the overall quality of the knife. I think he'd like a better steel. And the blade retention on the Resilience is much worse than the Tenacious (on which it isn't that great either)--because of the larger blade.

  • 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

  • Comment removed

  • I could see it being a good food blade, I might try one for my camp kitchen kit.

  • I carry 2, but don't understand 3.

  • @2cola4u not school but I take mine to the movies. You need to ask some who works at the theater.

  • every man that would be a man whenever possible should be carrying a knife in his daily life preferably two uh huh maybe three

  • good review and all but you should give some credit to other youtubers. "often copied never duplicated" is kind of a disrespectful statement to other people who take the time to buy, test, and review knives on youtube.

  • The issue i have with the Delica/Enduras is the part near the choil isn't sharpened., which leaves part of the blade unusable. On the tenacious series, the blade is sharpened all the way to the choil.

  • That thing is badass!

  • Is the handle material on the Resilience similar to the handle material on the Kershaw Skyline? It kinda looks that way.

  • @mbailey156 yes, G10

  • You should try and get a spyderco calypso jr. aka experimental 4. AMAZING EDC blade. AMAZING. The stainless version is amazing, hoolow ground, suuuuper rare, and although it loses functionality in handle traction, you gain in "the coolness factor" instead. Amazing knife. I love mine. Try and find one and if you do please do a review. I would like to know what you think of it.

  • It sure can cut chicken with it.

  • I prefer "Made in USA" hands down......but "Made in China" doesn't have to be a bad word anymore. There's some good workmanship coming from Sanrenmu, Navy, and Enlan these days. The Tenacious, Resilience, and Persistence were probably made by Sanrenmu. 8CR13MoV is very decent steel for the money.

  • Don't own a Tenacious... why would I pay 28$ for a knife made in china with an inferior steel when for 35$ I can have a Kershaw Packrat, it's made in the US, has 14C28N steel which is awesome and its an assisted opener?!

  • now they got the AMBITIOUSE ;]

  • Your face on the picture of this video is a crack up. Sooo intense

  • its gloves review because tenacious is a cigar cutter :D

    nice review!

  • Just got an ambitious for my son [xmas] and it is outstanding for the money. Where I live in rural western Illinois you could carry any of the three shown in the Video w/o a problem. Now go into downtown Chicago and you will go to jail for carrying too many paperclips. Funny, we don't have the assault, rape, murder rates that the "civilized" city folks in Chi-Town have.

  • Comment removed

  • Another big blade "mamma jamma" :) for TNP consideration:

    Enlan EL-01. Now that's a tank of a knife!

    Ultra budget category price, but verrrry high bang for the buck ratio!

    I'm actually surprized it haven't popped up in TNP yet.

    I love that knife! It's just a tad smaller than the Resilience, but even stronger in terms of locking liner and blade thickness.

  • um im 11 and bring knives almost every where but what about school and the movie theaters?

  • A lot hot air in this video dictated instead everything you said worth knowing could've been said in 5 min.

  • @brianminkc Aren't you the guy who was complaining about the length of Nutn's vids in his latest Buck knife review? Here's a SIMPLE solution...if you think the reviews are too long, GTFO. Its that simple. -- Veri

  • I used my tenacious for a steak. The steak was owned...

  • I'm not so interested in this family's design. My Meadowlark 2 really sucks, my Robin 2 kinda sucks, but my Cara Cara 2 is pretty sweet so far. I'd like to see a Byrd "Police" soonish.

  • Unfortunately in my country blade fanatics are frowned upon :(

  • Unfortunately in my country blade fanatics are frowned upon :(

  • I love the wip sounds

  • why is the persistence pivot screw in the opposite direction as the tenacious?

  • Just go mine in the mail today 

  • I carry 2 knives my cold steel super edge for low profile cutting and my rotate between my kabar, CRKT, and Boker I LIKE VARIETY

  • Please round out the family: SPYDERCO AMBITIOUS - A Review by Nutnfancy #FTW

  • all knives should have a family of different scale sizes

  • I notice rust seems to be a issue with this family of blades. I'm curious, anybody ever try something like Eezox on their blade? Stuff works wonders for guns, not only is it a great dry lube, but has impeccable rust protection too (one of its main uses).

    I will be getting my first Spyderco tomorrow (which happens to be the Tenacious, oh yeah!) and I going to apply some Eezox to the blade to see how well it protects from rust. I live in high humidity area, so should be a good experiment.

  • over 6 months later and still not cutting down on the whip sounds, quite rightly too bro

  • Noo! You can't get rid of the whip sound! D:>

  • god I love that dura-coat job on that persistance nutn!!

  • Comparable is size, weight, length, build quality to already proven CRKT M21 04. Blade steels are similar. Hey Nutn' go baton some firewood with the Resilience...what? That would be stupid? I'd have to agree. I ordered a Res yesterday. But I don't expect it will outperform my M21 04 Big Dog.

  • 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 .

  • i need new flooring... because my jaw just busted through it.

  • Too bad thats illegal where I live ;_;

  • @XPrime1000 me too very illegal =(

  • I hate spyderco, I think spyderco knife are over rated, expencive, this being that with the same money I can get a beter knife from some other brand, yet this craaaaazzy knife affitionado called Nutnfancy maid me rethink and actually consider to buy a psyderco knife, damn Nutnfancy, yooooooooooou craaazy!!!

    subscribing BTW lol

  • Hey guys just a heads up for all the crazy TNPr's like myself the RESILIENCE is peeking back out into the market! Just saw about 5 ads on eBay for $42-$50 shipped. Yup... I got one en route. These reviews are even better watching them WITH KNIFE IN HAND :-) Keep up the great work Nutn! Hope to run into you at SHOT 2012

  • @PharmDoc83 yeah i am pissed cause i saw one for $34 on amazon, free shipping, and i didn't buy it thinking, oh there back now, i'll wait. the next day the price went up ten dollars....doh!

  • oh and i forgot to mention the pohlforce alpha.....btw why did you never review a extrema ratio or pohlforce?

  • so if you call this a heavy duty folder, what would you call the extrema ratio mpc or 185° rao?

  • I like the persistence so much and i used it as a tactical. When a girl got in trouble i almost used it.

  • 65 euros -> round 92 bucks for the resilience here... 140 usd for the endura...

    still worth the money! still a keeper!

  • I live in europe and the tenoucious is 60 euros!!!

  • @sizzo666

    No it is not. knivesandtools.nl sells it for €39

  • @blaatbeer they sell the tenacious for € 39, and I totally just ordered one. thanks for the great tip.

    but the resilience is still more expensive here ;)

  • @sizzo666 heinnie.com/Knives/Spyderco-Kn­ives/Spyderco-Tenacious/p-92-1­91-3559 check this, dude.

  • @sizzo666 115 Euros for an Endura FFG G10!!! and 280 for the Titanium Military which I really want!!!

  • pshh, i edc my spartan 

  • @Nutnfancy  Should i get straight or combo serrated???

  • man its sold out on blade ops nooooooooo!!!!!!!

  • Thanks for selling out this knife...grrrr.....

  • And to second my own comment, what about the ladybug as well? You'd have to be an idiot to not like that little thing!

  • Where's the review for the ambitious? I want to see one!

  • I started watching nutnfancy project just to see gun reviews, I scoffed at the knife reviews, now I have decided to start collecting knives. Thanks a lot nutn lol

  • I've been using my Tenacious recently to prep food and it's amazing, though I have wanted an extra inch or so, and this is the answer. Combined with the Tri-Angle Sharpener my Tenacious is terrifyingly sharp!!!!!

  • Actually, there is another knife in this group called the Spyderco Ambitious which is smaller than the persistence.

  • A man without a knife is a man without a life." A sign at my favorite knife and blade shop The Knife Shack. wish they kept more Spyderco (and other blade companies) on hand to buy, but then again I'd be way broke from buying stuff from there all the time (arrgh!) awesome lookin' blade though.

  • Yeah! You should do a review on the Ambitious, it deserves one. Also it would REALLY complete the circle. :)

  • Its illegal in my country (carrying knives on you). Awesome knife though

  • I shudder at the thought of doing food prep with one of my folding knives. I just can't get past the idea that there's a bunch of gunk getting stuck in the handle and pivot. I think it's gross, and it's going to make me end up having to open up the knife and clean out all the food gunk. I'd rather just buy a nice chef knife or and a blade safe of some type.

  • thnx to your reviews i am officially hooked on knives! i got my resilience on saturday.

  • DAMN $28 for the tenacious? it cost me £35 ($57 usd)

    You Americans are lucky

  • As someone who works with knives, customizes them often, I can tell you that that Resilience is really an awesome knife. It's truly a great value for money.

  • I loves it! Thanks for the review, Nutnfancy! Too big for EDC, but it's a steak knife in my pocket...

  • LOL @ "uh-huh" great stuff dude LOL uh-huh!

  • 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

  • hey are you gonna pick up the ambitious?

  • Nutn, Loves your videos and I am a loyal viewer, but this line of Spyderco knives are flawed in design because of the location of the lock release. Upon firm grasp, it's too easy to unintentionally squeeze the release, having the blade collapse on your fingers. I have had them and it did happen to me under extreme usage. Keeping it real. ;)

  • 100,000+ video views?! Well, that is probably because almost no matter who you are, you can probably afford Spyderco's value line.

  • that mission speck camo is fucking ridiculous-i wanna get mine done now!! got any codes nutn?

  • Ne seri

    

  • i was gounna buy this just for wood and battoning then he said it would fail..it was nutn so crap to this knife

  • @ChAnDoN864430 Why would you ever consider buying this knife for battoning? It's a $40 liner lock folder. Common sense man.

  • @m1ghtysauc3 good point ill look into frame lockes or lockbacks thanks!

  • @ChAnDoN864430 Dude, folders aren't meant for that kind of use. Most folding knives would fail if you went battoned with them. Why the heck would you want a folder for that anyways? Just buy a decent fixed blade knife.

  • @ChAnDoN864430 ESEE or Becker knives might do you better for wood and baton work, The Becker BK-2 is a pretty good choice when it comes to a woods knife.

  • @TripAClaymore thanks!

  • my dad gave me a spyderco for my 15 birthday!!! it such a cool knife!!

  • i swear nutnfancy and cutlerylover frickin feed me lol

  • friggin awsome knife, just got mine, havnt set it donw yet! love it!

  • Well in my country it's not 28 $ it's 60€ ( aprox. 83 $)

  • @McSnoofee 49 EUR in my country. All sold in a jiffy. :-/

  • @McSnoofee yeah , it really anoys me ... ( i'm from belgium ) i think i'm gonna hit ebay for this beast and rest of the "tenacious" line ...

  • @McSnoofee Fuck Europe, I also have to pay twice for the knives :s

  • @McSnoofee "give or take a few"

  • @McSnoofee You also live in europe

  • @sizzo666 yes and the knives are freakin expensive here

  • @McSnoofee On My Computer this is what it says at top of screen left corner.

    Spyderco Resilience: "Big Blade for Bad Times" by Nutnfancy

    So much for the Tenacious. I know it's a Tenacious but it says its a Resilience which is the same knive as we all know but has a 4 1/4 blade on it the Resilience that is. Nutnfancy nutting out a bit i think....

  • Comment removed

  • Phoshfor bwonze buwshings :D Love it!

    That is almost free my friend! HAha laughed so hard..... Awsome!

  • Comment removed

  • O ordered a tanacious yesterday and hope to learn how to spell it by the end of today. I will replace my skyline with it, I think. What stores sell these? So far in south jersey I only see them online. Great review, thanks!

  • Are you wearing the gloves because you are afraid it will cut you again nutnfancy? I remember that nasty cut you got from it last time... yeck!

  • what dose th 105 mean

  • @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

  • Cool knife and I'm really considering getting one, most likely as some sort of IWB backup dealie. But I'm not so sure about the handle cutout as it seems that if you're really squeezing it there's a chance you might just squeeze it closed on your fingers. Thoughts?

  • Ha nutn my guess is you wear gloves because you love to paint your nails lol just kiddin man. great review like always.

  • more whipping sound that cracks me up every time also the nerdy lisp is great

  • Got mine today and have already cut the end of my thumb halfway off.I love it!

  • PASSION

  • Just got my Resilience Loved it.

  • "I guess I'm doing the handle now," lmao.

  • 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... <.<

  • Gloves: prevents Spyder bites?

  • 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.

  • @AussieMark909 Hey dude, are you living in Australia currently? if so, how'd you get that beast past customs? I had to dissasemble my Delica and Persistance to import mine from my US trip. I've heard customs is very tough with the definitions of "switchblade" and "gravity knife"

    Cheers!

  • @CheepSteal Spyderco's with thumb hole are not considered a "flick" open style of blade, iv had my Resilience inspected by customs and no issues, it also depends on the custom inspector to judge whether or not its illegal, hence why my RAT1 got impounded (after 4 weeks of phone calls and permits im getting it released this week ,as the blade is SOLD here in stores) if it has a thumb stud and the inspector can "flick" it open then its illegal, if they cant its fine cont

  • @CheepSteal Cont. some online stores are offering to tighten the pivot point if the blade (can be flicked with thumb studs) been sent to Australia to get passed the customs Flick inspection, the thing is no new laws (reguarding import of blades have come in) but they are looking at changing it later this year, so long as it has a thumb hole its fine, take care

  • @CheepSteal I got mine from an aussie online supplier. Not as cheap as the USA but as you say, customs are get out of control. I'll message you the details.

  • the heck? watched 8 minutes then the page redirected, canceled my the load on the video AND started with an ad! fffuuuu!!

  • never apologize for the whip sound, and never stop doing it

  • Got my new Tenacious in the mail yesterday, what a great knife. Think the Ambitious is next!

  • WHAT NO KNIFE!!

    lol nutn your so awesome

  • im a spyderco fan for sure, just fell in love with them again watching the interview with Sal at the shotshow. i dont own a tenacious...but i just ordered one im sorry so dont hit me!

  • is it a first production knife? I see the number 105 on it

  • Hey Nutnfancy, are those Camelbak Heat Grip CT gloves that you are wearing? How do you like them? I'm thinking of buying them. Thanks.

  • @KensaiCan No they are mechanix gloves, he already has a review on them.

  • @KensaiCan no.... there mechanix original gloves in tan

  • Should I get this of the Rat 1? In the POU of tactical folder?

  • @TheAlConnor THis one.
