Give me your thoughts on CIVILIAN..

[spyderskin]

I got a civilian coming from a trade on the forums.. Just wanting to get some input from civilian owners... I know this is a SD knife only, SD purposes are really the only reason I have most of my knives.. So I have alot of "pocket-queens"... I only have a few choice users that I cut with.. But I don't really do anything that requires any heavy cutting.. So my knife obsession stems from SD and Edged-weapons training... I have only held the civilian once and about purchased it at a gun show one time... I am really impressed by the design....anyway just looking for other opinions..


By the way.. I have trained with edged-weapons and SD using different styles and knife designs for a few years now... I must give the ultimate respect to Spyderco for the Waved Delica and Waved Endura.. Never have I found knives that are more effective for SD than these two designs.. Everything from rapid deployment to deployment in tight spots.. They are light weight, strong and lock up solid.... I have trained with models from just about all the big name production knife companies... Emerson is the founder of the Wave, no disrespect to Emerson, but the Spyderco version is much more effective IMO... anyway hats off to spyderco...thanks
