Citadel's High End Knives are hand-made by master artisans in Cambodia. They combine modern materials with old school hand craftsmanship and traditional techniques to make a superior blade. The workmanship is just phenomenal. -- Kutters Knives
Citadel's Phobos lock-back folder is a true wilderness companion. Using all modern materials (N690Co stainless blade, Z40C13 stainless scales & lock, micarta handle scales) the Phobos is a break from most of Citadel's knives while retaining everything that makes them so special. The N690Co stainless steel blade is sharpened to a full convex edge providing long-term edge retention. Hollowed-out micarta scales have a unique design that provides remarkable grip without fatiguing the hand.
The blade shape is kukri-esque and lends itself to just about any task you can throw at it. The back-lock and spring are strong, much stronger than a liner lock and give a quite satisfying thunk when the blade is opened. A stainless pocket clip is included.
A nylon canvas pouch with embroidered Citadel logo is included.

REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS
I purchased the horn handled folding kukri knife about a year ago. This beautiful heavy monster has been my favorite knife ever since. Still looks brand new and I've put it through hell. It's also a show piece with family and friends. Thank you for making such a supreme product. I enjoy this knife every day! -- Dax
Comments: The Citadel are the first folding knives I've carried, I always preferred fixed blades because I felt like they were stronger and more effective for almost any task. Not so! I got a couple of these because they were recommended and they're phenomenal, rock solid. You really have to handle one to appreciate the construction. Plus they're lovingly crafted in every detail if you study close-up photos. Recommended. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I'm a collector and a weekend warrior. I sell locally so I get lots of hands-on feedback. See my Seller ratings and buy with confidence. Plus I ship fast!
* N690Co Steel is a high-end stainless developed by Bohler and designed for hard use in aggressively corrosive environments. Known for it’s very high hardness (upper 50s HRC) and excellent wear resistance.
Micarta is a thermoset plastic that can withstand extremes in heat and cold, resists moisture, and does not become brittle with age. Knife handles made of Micarta are durable and last a long time
