Questions on the Civilian

[roadkill2]

What is the length of the blade? I noticed in the older version the blade seems to be curved more, and is more aggressive looking then the newer version. Why was this done?

I've noticed this also. That point is a lot stronger than it appears, but it does suffer minor damage from use at the very end. Perhaps they decided to hedge their bets by making it a bit shorter and stiffer? If you look at the Matriarch prototyps, you'll notice they have substantially less tip than a Civie, though this may just be due to the requirements of the handle.

Both of my Civies (G-2 aluminum, ATS-55 G-10) measure just a hair over 4" tip to handle. I won't attempt to calculate the edge length! Both have suffered minor point damage, but this doesn't affect length much as the point is more downward than outward by the end.
