T
he Civilian was designed from the ground up as a
personal-protection tool. Originally intended for use by
undercover narcotics officers operating without firearms, its
signature Reverse “S” SpyderEdge™ blade provides extreme
cutting performance even when using gross motor skills and
minimal training. Its blade is paired with a handle constructed
of full stainless steel liners and textured black G-10 scales
and a high-strength back lock mechanism. A two-position
clip offers discreet tip-up or tip-down carry on the right side.
The Civilian comes in a zippered storage pouch.
T
he Spyderco Matriarch began with a request from our
South African distributor for a more economical version
of the Civilian as a personal-defense tool for women. That
concept evolved into the Matriarch2 Lightweight, which
integrates the Civilian’s Reverse “S” blade profile with the
lightweight handle construction of the popular Endura4. Its
SpyderEdge™ VG-10 stainless steel blade provides optimal
cutting performance while its sturdy back lock mechanism,
four-position clip, and Trademark Round
Hole™ provide fully ambidextrous carry and
high-speed operation.
Invented by renowned custom knifemaker Ernest Emerson,
the Emerson Opener is an integral hook on the back of the
blade that snags the corner of your pocket as the knife is drawn,
automatically opening the blade when the knife clears the pocket.
T
he Lil’ Matriarch Lightweight packs the Reverse-“S” edge
profile, ambidextrous operation, lightweight construction,
and four-position carry of the Matriarch2 Lightweight into a
smaller, more compact version. Built on the handle design of the
popular Delica4, it provides extreme cutting performance in a
compact, easy-to-carry format.
