is this civilian real?

Just received this from pvk.vegas. I just want to confirm everything looks okay. I was surprised at the amount of air between the blade and the handle when closed.

The tip looks right, the gap looks right, the clip looks right, and it only has one liner, so I'm as confident that's it's genuine as one could be from solely looking at a picture.

For reference, this:

is what the tip looks like on nearly every fake I've seen.

Ah, thanks. They confirmed it came from a big distributor too.

I just got nervous because it seems like more fakes have been made than real ones 😩

My Matriarch 2 blade overlaid on the Civilian. Pretty cool. They follow the same curves and are about the same until the tip
