Hey, wasn't there a Spyderco Civilian Video that taught defense techniques with the Civilian Knife? Is it good? Where can I get one? Anyone willing to let me borrow theirs?
 
Hello

You are talking about the video put out by Mr. James A Keating, website link: http://www.jamesakeating.com/instructional9.html

Never hear a bad thing about this video and Mr. Keating is above reproach.

The hardest part would be finding a trainer to practice with. There is no way I'd use a live Civilian for training. I'd trust my life on my Civi, but I won't give it a chance to bite me.

Good Luck
 
yep I got it in VHS format at the ROS almost 10yrs ago.

He shows all aspect of the blade design. Pro/Con of it also. Saving life aspect also (seatbelt etc)

So, based on that experience, would you recommend both the knife and video for defense? It is really any better or worse than any other knife/technique combo?
 
I would if I can legally carry it! The style of blade covers somethings non hawkbill style of blades can't do.

It shows good trapping with the knife as well as the lethal side.

Do a search and you will see I have comment on this over the years as well as getting other people's feedback! If I was home I would send it to you to watch.
