Tools, Lubes & Accessories | Home » » » Civilian, G-10 Handle, Serrated | | | | | | | Description: | | In the 1990s Spyderco was approached by a specialized branch of U.S. law enforcement about making a knife for their undercover agents. These plain-clothes LEOs found themselves in situations where they often could not carry a firearm but carrying a knife was not a problem. Most had no formal training in self-defense tactics or MBC but as a last resort could use a blade to protect or extricate themselves from a life-threatening situation. This was how the Civilian model came to be. The Civilian has a patented reverse "S" blade that's intended to be used like an oversized claw. The tip is ground to an ultra-thin profile. Deeply curved and full at the belly, the VG-10 hollow-ground blade excels in slicing and is available fully SpyderEdged. Because of its distinctly specialized features it is not intended or designed for general utility or everyday use. Curved in all the right places for ergonomic use and retention of the knife, the handle is black G-10. Mounted for tip-down carry with a custom curved black clip, the knife rides deeply and unobtrusively in a pocket. One of the most specialized CLIPITS in the Spyderco line-up, the Civilian is available in limited quantities. | | | Features: | |

I have had many many knives in my 65 years on this planet but not one came even close enough to be mentioned in the same breath as this one. I know one thing or sure, I will never be without one for the rest of my life.
(NO, I do not work for Spyderco)

This is a large, well....... weapon. Make no mistake, this knife is made for one thing. Go to the Spyderco web site and read it. Yes it CAN cut rope, but this is overkill if that's want you want. I really bought it as a unique knife for my collection. To carry the Civilian is for self defense. There is 100% no doubt in my mind that this knife will perform it's intended purpose well. I cut myself with the tip of the blade with hardly ANY pressure. I love it. It is def not an EDC. But I would trust it with my life.

Buy One of TheseOct 27, 2009
By John G. Roberts
Great design! This is the kind of knife that will either get you out of a pinch or into one (with LE ). I have several Spyderco knives in my collection and this is by far my favorite. I have large hands and this weapon opens fast and easy. Although not a knife you would want to carry all the time due to it's size,the Civilian is ideal for hikers or hunters who venture into the wilderness and may come across agressive wildlife. A forceful slash from this knife would stop just about any animal in its tracks. Not a toy, but an impressive piece of cutlery. Worth the price of ownership.

Well . . . . .Jun 28, 2010
By Billy Fox
This knife is exactly what it says it is. Also, can be quite useful for cutting salami, opening envelopes, cutting red tape. Very expensive. Cool factor high. Could get three tools/weapons for same price of similar quality and function. Unnecessary. I could've taken a 20% restock, but became strangely attached to it. So . . . don't get drunk and look at it, cause you might buy it.
