Christmas Civilian ... Help me find a match

#1

Post by Shazam »

Santa was good to me this year and I got a new C12 Spyderco Civilian G10.
I was looking to get a nice match set for this knife and was thinking either:
  • Harpy G10
  • Police 3 G10 SE
Any other suggestions? I was thinking VG10 G10, maybe a little smaller than the Civilian...

Military G10 or Police G10 are the best options for a Civilian pairing.

Police III is a better match. Uses the same steel, both made in Seki, are both back-locks, and both have the smoother G-10 found on Seki-made knives.

+1...get a clip point since the hawk/reverse S blade is covered.
...oh you know why!

Yup, plus a G10 Harpy would be oh-so-hard to find, a very collectible model right there.

Thanks guys. The Police III in SE would make for a good pair. Although the Police 3 only comes in flat ground.

In my ignorance. What is a clip point?

The Bowie knife is typical example of a clip point, Google it for more images.
The Police and Military are modified clip points so not a perfect example at that.

Some G10 goodness to match the Civilian ;)
