Guilty as charged.
In my opinion it is probably the most elegent (elegent as in exotic, rather than elegent as in siplicity) knife Spyderco makes.
Unfortunately it is one of the only 2 spydies in my collection I don't / can't carry.
My mom does, she's pretty scary with it too. She lives in a rough neighborhood and I've seen her chase off men twice her size just by brandishing her "Civvie" as she calls it. Mom's a card. She's also 89.
So you'd like to know how many own A Civilian. Sorry, I don't own one, I own 4. There's a G10 handled EDC, A classic early aluminum-handled/Tuffram insert version, a carbon fiber handled showpiece, and a special custom version with a mother-of-pearl handle/ss spyder bug and net I had made up. Ican hardly wait until the VG-10 bladed civilian comes out so I can add No. 5!
Quite impressive, guys. I don't have a Civie, and I don't think I could use it (though I loooove the way it looks).But my wife is dreaming out of it. I'll get one for her eventually...
I have eight. 1 right handed serrated #13, 1 left handed serrated #13, 1 right handed plain edged #13, 1 left handed plain edged #13 all CF. I have two additional CF right handed plain and serrated. 1 G10 and 1 original I beleive Aluminum handle, not exactly sure about the handle?? I love them all, although all but the G10 rarely get carried. I also have a Matriarch that I carry.
I cannot think of any witty comment to make, or I would have posted earlier.
I have one: righty, G-10, Spyderedge.
I would like a Lefty to complement, suplement or replace it as needed.
I have two, one C12CFS Carbon Fiber Serrated,
and one C12GS G-10 Serrated. The Carbon Fiber
model is part of my collector #047 series. They are kept for show & tell - too scary to carry!

I just checked my collection. There are 10 different Civilians in the case. 1 aluminum handle (non-Tuffram) G-2 blade, 1 alum. Tuffram PE G-2 blade, 1 alum. Tuffram GIN-1 SE, 1 alum. Tuffram ATS-55 SE, 1 G-10 GIN-1 blade SE, 1 G-10 ATS-55 blade SE, and then 1 ea of the CF Civies (right, left PE, & SE).
