Long term use wear and tear on Citadel?

Post by Unlimitedx »

Anyone have first hand experience with the Citadel, mostly concerned with the black finish on the handle. It will be a EDC work knife, any issues with the finish scratching or wearing poorly when carried?
About to pull the trigger on one this month, just thinking. :o

It is a Golden made model so it sports the DLC (=Diamond Like Carbon) like the Military and Para-Military. Many agree that it's probably one of the toughest blade coatings found on production knives. :)
I hear it tends to just gather traces of material it cuts but it all cleans out without leaving scratches. As long as you're not trying to cut something you shouldn't cut with a knife. You'll have a hard time wearing it out. ;)

Well I'm sold, one on the way. I'm sure it will be a great knife.
