SPYDERCO RESILIENCE

[LUPARA]

Anyone actually own it put the knife through its paces or beaten the crap out of it to ascertain its lock strength and general toughness? I'm considering purchasing one, since I would like a large working folder for general ranch use, like cutting hay-bale twine in the winter etc.

I have a couple of the smaller (3 3/8") Tenacious blades and love them. I will be getting a Resilience soon. Just waiting on the mail.

I do find that the CRKT Razels are GREAT working knives, though. I have a folding and a ringed Razel. Every time that I am doing something like you say, I find them better for cutting, slicing and scraping than any thing that I have.
