Spyderco Citadel Automatic Knife

Spyderco automatic knives are some of the best automatic knives you will find. Spyderco has constructed the Citadel in four basic variations. There are two sizes and two blade colors. You can get The Citadel in the origianl 92mm size or in the smaller, 83mm size. An automatic knife from Spyderco has long been in the works, and The Citadel lives up to the expectations.
This well built and sturdy automatic knife has a black textured handle with the Spyderco logo smack dab in the middle. The lock is a slide style lock and is located in the same indent as the trigger button. This is nice because you can unlock and trigger the knife with the same finger. The plunger style push button snaps the blade out quickly and the blade locks up with no wiggle in it. The pocket clip, like so many other Spyderco knives, is reversible. You can place it on either side of the knife. Below I have listed the knife specs for both sizes of the Citadel.
