Spyderco Civilian (original) full-serrated – early model

Early 1990s Spyderco Civilian with Tufram-Coated Aluminium Scales

Designed with purpose. Built for specialists. Kept for collectors.

This early-run Spyderco Civilian from the 1990s isn’t just rare—it’s a benchmark in tactical knife design. Featuring Tufram-coated aluminium scales with textured Kraton inserts, it delivers a unique mix of grip and resilience rarely seen in production blades. The fully serrated reverse “S” blade, made from G2 stainless, is thin-tipped and deeply curved, mimicking the arc of a talon. It’s built to slice with terrifying precision—not to open boxes or peel apples.

The Civilian is unapologetically purpose-built. Its 4¼ inch VG-10 hollow-ground blade doesn’t ask permission. It performs. And that’s why it was never meant for everyday carry. This is a knife built for a singular function and valued now for its historical weight.

Never carried. Never used. Just aged with time. Comes with its original pouch and collector-grade authenticity.
