Yeow! I'd hate to have my hand slide forward on that sucker! I know the ring is there for a reason but it still gives me the willies.

I have a version of the "Hunting Tanto" back from 1998. Impressive, but most people don't know anything much about Citadel.

Take a look at this, it may help. http://www.asialifeguide.com/Feature/Citadel-Blades-of-Glory.html

That knife with a wooden handle is $95 here, no dickering.

a little folder that had fit problems and no walk or talk was also $90.

Brian Williams,

Would it be possible for you to ask where they got the idea for that knife? It looks like a spiced up version of a traditional Finnish "mistresses knife". Mistress being a housewife, in this case

jVoutilainen,

The company was started by a French knifemaker who worked with Khmer smiths to produce these non-native styles. Low cost of living and inexpensive skilled labor combined with his esthetics.
