Welcome from Singapore!
The civilian was one of the very first Spyderco knives I ever saw or handled, and to this day I am still impressed by its medieval looks and uncompromising design for a specific purpose. I especially enjoyed reading the card that comes with the knife, warning against using it for 'utility' purposes! I still wonder why they called it the civilian - I would have called it the Raptor...

Why they called it Civilian, pretty darn easy to guess. Cuz you'll have to unleash it on some civilians and take em out, if they make any trouble of course.
A moderate degree of courage joined to great ability will produce greater effects than moderate ability with great courage.

"In the 1990s Spyderco was approached by a specialized branch of U.S. law enforcement about making a knife for their undercover agents. These plain-clothes LEOs found themselves in situations where they often could not carry a firearm but carrying a knife was not a problem. Most had no formal training in self-defense tactics or MBC but as a last resort could use a blade to protect or extricate themselves from a life-threatening situation. This was how the Civilian model came to be." :)

I still carry a Civilian, deeply concealed, on a regular basis. Even though my (rather limited) blade training, since acquiring my pair of Civilians, has been more point-driven, the slim compactness of a Civi makes it effortless to carry, and its methodology is quite intuitive, so it still has a place in my life.
Yes, I did, indeed, say "slim compactness" in reference to the Spyderco Civilian. A Spyderco Temperance fixed-blade, or a Strider AR folder, is starting to get just a bit chunky.
