Spyderco Civilian the emblem on the blade

[maddoc]

Hey, guys! the question about this model is in the ads for the sale of NEW civilian blades in the photo without the engraving of the beetle. (as in the photo). It is indicated that the knife is NEW.Were knives made without an emblem? according to which versions was this the case?

Dear maddoc:

The version in your photo is a very early Civilian with an aluminum handle and Kraton rubber inserts. This article I wrote for Small Arms Review will guide you through the Civilian/Matriarch history and show photos of older models without the "bug" logo: https://smallarmsreview.com/the-spyderc ... an-family/.

Stay safe,

But why didn't they release a Civilian with a black blade and an Emerson hook?Is Matriarch being released?
