IMO spydero has some goofy knives like the civilian... which i feel people are only defending the brand not the design itself
Not having a go at you, but after skimming this thread, and reading some of the earlier trash posts about the civillian feel the need to say something.
As it has been said, the knife was designed for LEO's as a last ditch self defence weapon, the fact it was designed for people with no knife experience, and the name however suggest otherwise (for civilian use).
Either way it was designed to suit a particular function, of a defensive panic weapon. Confronted with a life and death situation, one would hope the sheer stature of the knife would deter a would be attacker, but if not one could effectively defend themselves and get away from the situation. Someone said it was designed with maximum damage / deadly force in mind, also untrue, it is designed to slash and disable, allowing one to escape potential danger, not as an offensive killing weapon. Reverse s curves are also very effective trappers.
If you cant tell the difference between a finely engineered spyderco and some 5" rhinestone laden automatic zombie killing pocket chainsaw then perhaps YOU are the "mall ninja".
Their reputation precedes them for good reason.
