Tough-as-nails Citadel. This is a wicked looking automatic, black tactical, NIB, no longer in production, getting rare, Spyderco. This black bladed Spyderco automatic knife has never been carried, sharpened, or displayed. This Citadel 92mm has the plain 3.60" edge (92mm) which I prefer over the other Citadel's Spyderedge.
Here is a great video of the Spyderco 92mm in action.!

Several years ago the original retail on this fine black carbonitride blade was around $290.00. If I were forced to own only one knife this would be it. The Citadels a big, strong and very finely crafted, all black cutting tool for those requiring a tactical folding knife.
Here is what the Spyderco folks say about it.
"The Citadel is designed for immediate deployment and unfailing performance in the most demanding conditions. Made in the U.S.A., it features a precision-machined, textured aluminum handle that is hard anodized for durability. Available in two sizes (a 92mm blade and a 83mm blade (.35" smaller than 92mm), the Citadel represents the pinnacle of automatic knife engineering and performance. Its premium steel CPM S30V blades are available with a natural satin finish or with a non-reflective black carbonitride coating.
