Carbon Fibre Civilian

Thought I might try and generate some interest in a small run of the babies over here. Count me in for a Spyderedge! :D

Ferret:

You'll go anywhere for one of those, won't you? Ever since that little picture caught your eye. Well, thanks a lot - now I want one too.

Cheers,

I posted this on BladeForums.

I think if we offer a pledge to Children's Hospital of Denver with the purchase of a CF Civilian, that might help to get Sal interested. I understand it wouldn't be a huge number of pledges and it would make the cost of the knife higher, but it is a good cause.

I am willing to pledge $50 if Sal makes a serrated CF Civilian. If he makes a Plain Edge CF Civilian, I'll pledge $100.

Who's with me?

I'm in, I might need to save for awhile, but I'd go for that.

I'll take one! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
I'd prefer plain edged CF Civvy for looks.
CF isn't 'user' handle material - too slippery for hard beating but great for a drooling piece.
But I'll take any CF Civilian that is available for me.

Tommi, at that other place someone came up with the brilliant idea of some traction grooves in the handle - not only practical but it would really set this Civilian apart from the others.

My bank won't be happy with me, but I'd be in for a CF serrated edge with Traction Grooves. Be sure to use a black clip that lets the Civvie ride low in the pocket - I sure like the new clip! Also, I would contribute to the charity of choice - The Children's Hospital. Another idea, if anyone is uncomforatble with that charity, would be a "Scout's Honor" pledge to contribute to the charity of your choice. From what I've read by the members here and at Bladeforums, we could all be trusted to do what we say. Remember how well things turned out for Horton when he said what he meant and meant what he said????

I'll look into the numbers and see what I can do.

500 CF Civilians

250 PlainEdge (25 left handed)
250 SpyderEdge (25 left handed)

serrations on left handed version will not be reversed.

It will more than likely be a "one shot" deal with all pieces being pre-sold.

Would this be outside of the collectors' program?

I'll let you know the details once I'm sure I can pull it off. Sales will more than likely be through your regular dealer or through the outlet store (if you don't have a dealer).

hi Ewok, Our regular collectors will get first choice.

Sal,

Will those of us who are not in the collectors program be able to reserve a CF Civvie from the SPyderco Outlet store?
