DESCRIPTION:
This is one of those 'just right' knife designs, no more and no less. Just enough blade length to get the job done and stay sharp doing it. A handle at just the right length with a lower guard big enough to keep your hand in place but small enough not to get in the way. The Palisander wood scales are contoured to fit the hand just so for long-term use with no fatigue. It's a working knife that just happens to look and feel like a high-end custom.
(Photo colors may not match the actual colors)
Special Note:
The blade is hand forged from high carbon DNH7 and differentially hardened showing a distinct temper line or hamon. The forge scale on the flats is left in place while the primary bevel is highly polished. The full convex edge is shaving sharp and likes to stay that way. A full grain leather belt sheath is included. As DNH7 is a high-carbon steel the knife should not be stored in the leather sheath for a long period of time; a nylon zipper storage pouch with embroidered Citadel logo is included for long-term storage instead.

More Details
Born in France in 1951, Dominique Eluere settled in Cambodia in 1997. Shortly after arriving in the country, he founded Citadel workshop offering hand-crafted knives and swords. Within only a few years, he became recognized and respected by knife enthusiasts worldwide for his beautifully stylish, razor-sharp creations. Demand is so great that Citadel now employs 50 people in Phnom Penh to produce unique hand-forged knives and swords according to traditional artisanal methods. High carbon steel blades receive differential quenching that produces visible hamon, and obviously, a long life cutting edge.
Citadel uses modern steels, high-end natural materials and a lot of skilled hand work to craft exceptional knives. For the first time in many years, Citadel's line of knives is available in North America. Citadel's knives combine imported European steels with the highest quality grip materials to create unique working knives at a custom level fit and finish, for far below that sticker price. Many of Citadel's fans were introduced to them through their exceptional samurai swords, only to find later their devotion to high-quality knives. There is a lot of crossover in the traditions as well, evidenced by the unique ray skin covered knife scales and traditional Japanese method of differentially hardened blades.
- Citadel Folding Knives - Folding knives by Citadel use Bohler's high carbon N690Co stainless steel for their blades. This high-end stainless steel combined with a variety of premium scale materials (Bone, Horn, Rosewood, Palisander -- even Rayskin!) makes for an exceptional knife. A padded and zippered embroidered pouch is included with each knife.
- Fixed Knives - Citadel hand forges high-carbon DNH7 steel then, using the techniques learned from decades of making exceptional samurai swords, differentially hardens each blade to make a fine working knife. High-quality leather sheaths and high-end scale materials complete the package.
