Product Description
Purpose-Built. Exceptionally Engineered.
The Spyderco Civilian® C12GS stands in a class of its own—designed specifically for professionals who require a last-resort defensive tool that delivers maximum cutting performance with minimal effort. Its dramatically curved 4.125" VG-10 stainless steel blade features a fully serrated edge, optimized to slice with unmatched efficiency.
The slender, ergonomic black G-10 handle offers a secure grip without adding bulk, while the back lock mechanism ensures dependable lockup in critical moments. Lightweight and easy to carry, the Civilian® includes a stainless steel clip for discreet, tip-down pocket carry.
With its distinctive reverse "S" blade profile and uncompromising build quality, the Civilian® is not a general-purpose knife—it’s a specialized tool built for serious professionals.
