The company was founded by Dominique Eluère, a Frenchman.
Hence the typical French look. 
Structure and cracks or inclusions in the horn are here material and decorate the minimalist pocket knife. 
 Since the end of the 90s, Dominique Eluere, a native of France, has been manufacturing the highest quality blades in Cambodia. In doing so, he emphasizes class over mass. All pieces are individually handmade, which is the only way to achieve the exceptionally high quality. High-quality materials, experienced craftsmen and a pronounced awareness of quality are seen as the key to success at Citadel.

The blade is hand forged from DNH7 carbon steel (not stainless). Forging marks and a finely decorated spine emphasize the simple but noble design. The hardening was done differentiated. The cutting edge has a hardness of approx. 60°, the back a hardness of approx. 44° Rockwell. On the blade you can see the fine Hammon line. The handle is made of a piece of horn, which was elaborately bent and shaped. As was the case with many pocket knives in the past, the blade was not locked in place.
