Favorite Auto: The Spyderco Citadel
Published: 12 years ago
Why I think the Spyderco Citadel is the best automatic knife you can get right now....but not for long.
The Citadel is designed for immediate deployment and unfailing performance in the most demanding conditions. Made in the U.S.A., it features a precision-machined, textured aluminum handle that is hard anodized for durability. Available in two sizes (a 92mm blade and a compact 83mm blade), the Citadel represents the pinnacle of automatic knife engineering and performance. Its premium CPM-S30V blades are available with a natural satin finish or with a non-reflective black carbonitride coating.

•Left/right-hand tip-up black steel clip
•High-strength button-lock release
•Back-up safety locks button in open or closed position
•Screw-together construction
