    Not my pic, but found it a long time ago online. IIRC it was a fairly regular custom conversion, but I haven't read or heard anything recent about this version of the Civvie or who did it.

    Cool Double Civi> PLeEASE!! BRing in ON

    INteresting Very interesting As much as I like Double Bladed Spyders I would pay dearly for a Double bladed Civilian. AS if I didn't have enough on my want list as it was

    Was there really ever a prototype of a Double Civilian ever made or is this just an Adobe Photo shop deception ?

    Only one word comes to mind.

    Don't worry, it isn't meant to be tactical. Just consider the size of it closed. Hardly would fit in the pocket... And is it really able to be opened one-handed?

    Real question is: How can I get one?

    PS Thanks Wouter!

    According to Sal, they were custom made by Phil Gibbs at Camillus Cutlery using Spyderco supplied blades.

    Very Klingonesque, should sell very well to the well-heeled Mall Ninja Elite.

    I think it could have been cooler if one was PE and one SE, it would be a civi-dyad

    Thanks for the info 4ster! I seem to recall the name for this beast was something along the lines of 'bull's horns' or something.

    Would make a great prop for the next Blade movie. Can just picture Wesley Snipes wielding it with both blades open.
