Expert Review Only knife worth bringing to a gun fight - Spyderco ClipIt Civilian 4.13in Folding Knife

Designed for undercover federal agents in situations where they cannot carry a firearm, this knife is purely for self defense. There is no utility value to this knife. It is made to slash and tear through clothing and flesh.

That being said, it is very well made. Easy to deploy the blade. Beautiful curve to the blade that perfectly wraps a forearm or thigh.

Generously sized handle with grippy G10 handles, very comfortable and intuitive in the hand whether reverse gripped or not.

I have never had to use this knife and hopefully it stays that way...just deploying it should make any attacker think twice.

While the tip is delicate, you can tell that were it to break you would still have plenty of blade to inflict damage with.

The Spyderedge (full serration) is one of the unique Spyderco designs that I really like and is a perfect fit for this type of application.

Zippered travel pouch included with knife.

Not a practical tool for most people, but easily the most confidence I have ever clipped onto my pocket.
