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
The Trident pattern lends itself well to this collectible pocket knife featuring a hand forged blade and stabilized* spalted* wood scales that make each blade unique. The high carbon blade (DNH7 from Austria) is hand forged and differentially hardened in the Japanese style by the skilled smiths at Citadel. The bevel is highly polished and zero ground (no secondary bevel) creating a long lasting and extremely sharp edge. The flats are untouched after the forging, displaying the brut de forge scaling left by the blacksmith's hammer blows. The large handle fills the hand nicely without taking up a lot of pocket room. Hand carved detail work on the spine and back spacer complete this collectible package. A padded nylon case with an embroidered Citadel logo is included.
*The manufacturer's MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) for the Trident is $225.00 but I'm willing to consider reasonable offers.

* Spalting is any form of wood coloration caused by fungi. Although primarily found in dead trees, spalting can also occur in living trees under stress. The unique coloration and patterns of spalted wood are sought by woodworkers
* Stabilized wood that is to be used for knife handle material is wood that has been impregnated with a chemical stabilizing solution to make it more durable and less prone to warping or cracking than natural, untreated wood.
