The double bladed Civilian...

2Sharp · Oct 15, 2001

Hi!

I found this at Spyderco's own forum.
I've been waiting for it a long time, so i thought a few of you other guys wanted to see it too.

ThinkOfTheChildren · Oct 15, 2001

Thank you very much! I've wanted to see pics of that beast for a while now.

The next step, of course, is to own one

"You call that a knife? This is a knife!" (*click click* go the blades of the double-civvy)

BTW, looks like I have a new background

Ye GADS! I'm in LUST!!!!!!!!!!

Is there even a remote chance this beasty will become a reality?

I really like it, but I think the clip should be mounted on the other end.

ThinkOfTheChildren · Oct 15, 2001

Ken,
IIRC that was a custom piece done out of house: it was never slated for production.

Ken Cook · Oct 15, 2001

Ah, I see.
Actually, I was guessing that it was a purely computer generated image. Nice to know there's a real working specimen out there somewhere.

Now this next is addressed to Sal...

Just how much booty smoochin' will be required to get this sweet thang into production?
(Anybody seen my chapstick?)

Was it BORN that way, or did Darth Maul have it built?

I guess it could cut TWO BAGELS AT ONCE!

i feel that a dubble bladed civillian is a knife that must be brought to the world, its just one of those things that we cannot do without

Man I remember this knife from about 8 years ago I coated it for Phil Gibbs at Camillus.It's coated with a Brown and Gold Titanium Carbonitride. I think Phil still makes a few every now wnd then.
It's nice to see a knife from the past.

i only have enough thumbs on one hand to open one blade

pjenkins00 · Oct 16, 2001

that's why you use your pinkie (or ring). It's doable...

ThinkOfTheChildren · Oct 16, 2001

Or inertia opening

mschwoeb · Oct 16, 2001

Imagine one of those for each hand!

Sal Glesser · Oct 17, 2001

Hi Darrell. Welcome to the Spyderco forum.. Yup, that's your handiwork on Phil Gibb's "toy".

Sorry, no production on that one. We'd be happy to supply Phil with blades if he's inclined.

So if I was willing to pay a few hundred or more then maybe.... Of course that would mean selling all other knives. Decisions, Decisions

fossilhunter · Oct 17, 2001

Just do it Phil. C'mon man, everybody would think you are cool

fossilhunter · Oct 17, 2001

Peer pressure is the pits

Bali's Song · Oct 19, 2001

Lousy knife look! I think that double bladed Spyderco is stupid. Spyderco is about functionality not hybrid fantasy knives!

Sorry but the knife stinks! That's my Song. -Bali

fossilhunter · Oct 20, 2001

As they say, opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one-

Safety Guy · Oct 20, 2001

I'm torn between agreeing with Bali...but wanting to buy one if it comes out with nonslip G-10 handles!

Fantastically absurd--yet extremely compelling.

It would make a heck of a dexterity practice piece. Inertia open the bottom blade as you thumb out the top one! Scare twice as many sheeple in one theatrical move!

Splittedly opinionated,

Karl

P.S. Is it's mere existance it's own validation? I believe so. Remember the "Twin Mustang?" Or the double-fronted "drive from either end" Fiat 128?

P.S.S. You can have your full serrations and an entire plain edge too! No more debating that question...

Yea but then everyone would be arguing which blade should be in the 'reverse' grip and which one pointing forward
