The large size and extreme cutting performance of the Resilience make it a popular choice among military personnel and other tactical end users. Since many of them operate in environments where light discipline is a concern, Spyderco created an all-black version of the Resilience Lightweight. Its high-traction black FRN scales are complemented by a black oxide-coated 8Cr13MoV blade and black coated liners, clip, and handle hardware.
