"Spyderco Citadel: Fleeting Auto" by Nutnfancy

There's sexier full sized autos out there...but not at this price. Discontinued from Spyderco from the Spyderco lineup for now, the Citadel C117 & C119 models will be gone soon. With a TNP arranged price of $119 with Blade HQ, you will have to move on it now. The price is excellent but the value would ring hollow without quality and features. Fortunately the Citadels deliver. Expect to find S30V sabre ground blades with perfect relief edges. Choose between satin or black versions of the blade. Sharp jimping locks in the thumb, appropriate for these law enforcement/military-intended weapons. The 6061 aluminum scales wear bi-directional milling that prevents slippage too (very similar to the Benchmade 5000 Presidio Auto Axis). The handle isn't slim but is on par with other similar full sized T6 autos. With these ergos then the Citadels should live up to their tactical pedigree. Speed in the 83mm model is excellent, good in the larger 92 mm version. Both wear the Spydie hold heritage for looks. The clip is conventional perfection, appropriately blackened, low profile, and strong. Lockup is strong and I find no errors there. In black or satin blade these are functional and good looking autos. And you're getting US quality at a Chinese price.///////////////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 10 out of 10 (value considered)////////////// Get it Citadels for limited time at: http://www.bladehq.com/cat--Nu....tnfancy-Specials--91
