I have seen at least one example of what I believe to be a very early variant of the aluminum handled Civilian which had a polished aluminum finish and no Tufram. The knife had the appropriate kraton inserts. Is this really a factory variant, or was it customized by someone along the way?

If this is something which left the Spydy-factory, my collection will never be complete without one...

Any thoughts out there? Thanks, Brian
 
Hey, that's good news! (Knew I should have bought that book).
Thanks RR

I think I may have slipped-up big time a couple of years ago when the opportunity to buy one of these came about...I passed. Not having accumulated some of the other Civies, I figured I'd get around to this one (and finding out about it) but haven't seen another available since!!!
 
Hawkbill,

Its definately an early version of the Civi. At one time I had one in mint condition. I sold it as part of a 4 civi set a couple of years ago. New owner very happy.

Unfortunatly I have never come across another like it.

Thanks for the reply. I seem to recall that one of the pics I had in mind came from you some years ago. I don't remember if you had sold that knife when it was posted or not, but I know that since then I have not seen another.
