Well, the title says it all. I work in a knife store (I actually got the job cause I loved knives, not because I got the job and then fell in love with them.) Well, anyway I came into work and see that we got some new stuff in. A few new Blue Benchmade boxes and then I see the white Spyderco box. I immediately open it up and find a serialized Carbon Fiber Civilian!!! This is a sweet knife!!! I really don't know what to say but that to the people who want them they are out there or going to be out there soon! They are nice, this was the first Civilian and the first CF Spyderco I had ever held and it was definitely sweet. I am not sure but I think the retail price is around $230. Any questions on it I can answer??? -- I don't not what I can say but SWEET.
Just thought I would let you all know!!!

Cool, thank for the #'s. Now I know -- that actually a few more than I thought, but still very limited. These are really sweet, and the wait is going to be worth it!!!!! I just wish you guys could see them or I could post a pic or something. Let me know if you have any questions.

Man, I can't WAIT for that package to arrive! Got one of each coming. Nice to know just how few of the lefty-versions were made for future trivia, thanks Ronybear...

So, what is the blade steel?

And, more importantly, where might one find one of these, seeing as how so many have already been ordered, obviously.

The blade steel is ATS-55. I think you can get them from a few distributors on the web. Also probably thought Spyderco and also in some (my case) a retail store!
Good luck,
