The C142GP version features a robust black G-10 handle with steel liners, a skeletonized internal construction for strength and low weight (154 g), and the classic Liner-Lock designed by Michael Walker.

Key benefits
- Large blade, affordable price: The Resilience combines generous length and performance with accessibility—ideal for work and EDC.
- Robust construction: Solid liners, screw-together construction, and bronze washers in the pivot ensure durability and stability.
- Ergonomics and grip: Jimping and the SpyderHole provide a secure and confident grip.
- Versatile carry: The four-position clip offers plenty of carry options and customization.
- 🔴 Limitations
- Standard steel: 8Cr13MoV does not rank among premium steels—it holds an edge for a shorter time than S30V or CTS-BD1N.
- May need adjustment out of the box: Some pieces may require pivot tuning or light sharpening right after purchase.
Maintenance and care
Break in the pivot: A minor tension adjustment and a drop of oil will provide smoother action over time.
Cleaning and lubrication: Regularly clean and lubricate the pivot and liner-lock with oil or isopropyl alcohol.
Sharpening: 8Cr13MoV sharpens well with a ceramic or water stone—fully sufficient for regular carry.
