Spyderco Civilian, Matriach, Matriarch 2, and Lil’ Matriarch: The Spyderco Reverse “S” Blade!

[@EDCandLace]

Ain't no doubt about it, the reverse S line of defense knives are absolute flesh destroying beasts... I love my civilian and matriarch. They are really neat knives.

[@NeilTheKnifeGuy]

Got the Matriarch 2 black with the emerson opener, never would of except that there was one used for 60. Changed my mind about full serrations. Came super dull but the sharpmaker took quick care of that. Love seeing all these together!!!

[@christianmcbride9905]

Bro I am so glad I found your channel! I'm about to watch every dang video you ever made! Your Spyderco collection is on POINT! I've never even seen some of these beauties, the smaller Civilians are 🔥

[@keithkevinken]

Happy you found the channel!

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

I'm definitely getting a Matriarch 2 with the Emerson "Wave". I'll get a Civilian at some point as well. Nasty pieces! 👍

[@JOHNNYSD-43]

The only reason to buy the civilian is for collecting; for SD daily carry the Matriarch is perfect, it comes very, very sharp, and is lightweight. The Emerson wave is essential when you try it.

[@JOHNNYSD-43]

Great collection. My favorite knives now are the Matriarch 2 and Joyimbo, the second is very versatile, but gives me less confidence for purely defensive use.

[@StitchJones]

Just found your channel. What a great video! I just was able to get a Civilian and I am soo happy with it.

[@keithkevinken]

Congrats on the Civilian!

[@tomj0008]

Snap, that's wicked awesome!

[@bills.2214]

Thank you for sharing sir. Very nice collection, I am watching this while opening up my first reverse-s blade, a Waved Matriarch 2, fully serrated. All I can say is...damn! Now you are making want a Civilian. I wonder why Spyderco has never added the wave feature to that model?

[@keithkevinken]

Congrats on the new knife!

[@tomj0008]

I have the first one, pinned and alittle off. But no rubbing. Was only 60something, got lucky on ebay on a few, especially this one! That ,g10 is nice!

[@BensBlades]

Thank you for the great video brother!!!🔪🖤🗡

[@garyjacobs2789]

Glad you posted this buddy

[@keithkevinken]

Thanks for watching!

[@PoetFisherman]

I've always wanted one of these reverse S Spydercos. The only reason I haven't is, serrated or not, I'd have to get specialized equipment to sharpen one. Sure, I could use the Sharpmaker but I just can't get the edge I'm accustomed to with my KME. I'll break down eventually and get one, most likely. Thanks for the look 🔪👍🗡

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

These are pure defense blades. Carry it for its intended purpose and you won't have to resharpen it.

[@tangoyankee7521]

GREAT VIDEO BRO... VERY NICE

[@keithkevinken]

Thanks 👍

[@JosephGalloway-tf7zv]

Thanks for the video! If ypu could only have one what you pick? Subscribed and thank for making it maybe even harder to pick my first reverse s haha

[@keithkevinken]

Welcome! I like the Matriach 2!!

[@LovesM855A1]

You need to add the dodo in the family they rock!

[@keithkevinken]

I agree!

[@LovesM855A1]

@@keithkevinken altho don’t get me wrong your family of spidies is GREAT and impressive! Def giving you props btw! Thanks for sharing!

[@thinkingman6648]

Missing your posts. Hope you are well.

[@keithkevinken]

I’m fine. More coming soon.

[@tangoyankee7521]

THEY CAN BE EDC KNIVES BUT WHAT THEY MEAN IS NOT AN UTILITY KNIFE...

[@SetAside777]

Easy, caps. He said that in the video.

[@jwestphal2010]

I wish the civilian had the Emerson opener

[@Bollicinablu]

They are beautiful! But i have little hands...merlin and lil matriarch are no more available😢. What do you think about tasman salt 2? Plain or serrated ?

[@keithkevinken]

I like both tasmans.

[@poland_stronk3044]

There is Dragonfly Hawkbill if you need small blade.

[@Crusty_Otter]

The Harpy has a stainless handle with a 2.75" serrated blade in VG-10. It's basically a HD Tasman.

[@HellGatefr2]

To me definitely looks like you could EDC a lil' matriarch, the tip doesn't look as weak as the civilian's, and not that different to a Karambit-style blade such as the Harpy of the Byrd Hawkbill, am I wrong ?

[@demo2952]

I choose the cricket!

[@Nunnyaaa]

So it’s only a defense knife if you’re slashing?? Seems less effective, if you jab wrong the rounded part won’t do much. I would assume your typical edc straight blade would be more versatile. I enjoy your videos.

[@tyronemorrissey4728]

Do you like cold steel knives

[@keithkevinken]

I’m personally not a fan.

[@tyronemorrissey4728]

Ok thanks

[@johanwillfred6139]

@@keithkevinken why? Tiger Claw might be nice alternative here. Of course it’s hard to sharpen, but still

[@sodalines]

if you have a plain edge cicilian in good shape. ill give a 1k for it. Its my grail. been lookin for a nice one for a long time

[@keithkevinken]

I never owned a plain edge Civilian. Honestly didn’t know it existed. BUT, while looking up a picture of one, I just saw one in great shape on Arizona Custom Knives. It’s for $600. I’ve purchased collector knives from them a lot. Top notch! Save $400 and quickly buy your grail. Let me know if you get it.
