I have had my Citadel for over a year now with little to no pocket time and recently
Started to fumble with it again. It's the 83mm plain edge version.
As its my only automatic, I'd like to hear everyone's opinions whether good or bad.
How does it compare to other automatics?
Spyderco has discontinued it, should I look to trade up or keep it?
Thanks in advance.
 
I really like the Embassy much better, I've owned a couple different Citadels n the past. It's a high quality knife, very good materials, tight tolerqnces as far as I can tell. Seeing as they are prett much illegal in your area, it's your call whatever you do with it, you own it you decide.
 
As its the only auto I own, I'll keep it as a safe queen. Until I get my Microtech.
 
I handled it at a gun show not too long ago. The quality is definitely there, but it didn't impress me. If you want something that you can use then I would say trade it away, otherwise hang on to it for sentimental value.
 
I really like mine. Solid knife, great materials, reliable. I used it at work all the time and it never let me down. I'd say keep it.
