Citadel Knives and Swords is a sword and knife manufacturer based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Despite the country's reputation as an exotic and remote location, the company is easily accessible, located close to the city's international airport. The workshop is modest but houses an impressive range of high-quality Japanese swords and knives.

Founded by Dominique Eluere in the 1990s, Citadel has combined the expertise of French and local craftsmen to produce blades that rival the best in the world. Eluere began by training Cambodian blacksmiths to make French table knives, later evolving into the production of Japanese swords.

The quality of Citadel swords is world renowned, thanks to the use of traditional Japanese techniques and a meticulous manufacturing process. Each katana is heat treated, creating a blade with varying hardness along the edge and spine, a hallmark of true katanas. The hilt is fully encased in high-quality stingray leather, a rarity compared to common panels.

Attention to detail extends to every element, with every component custom-made for each blade. This includes the tsuba (sword guard) and habaki (blade collar), both of which are hand-crafted and fitted, ensuring perfect fit and functionality.

In addition to katanas, Citadel also produces European swords and knives, maintaining the same philosophy of quality and functionality. Production is artisanal, with particular attention to polishing and finishing, often done by hand with sandpaper and whetstones.

Citadel is proud of its Cambodian roots, with local workers looking up to Eluere as a father figure and deeply involved in maintaining the company's high standards.

In short, Citadel Knives and Swords represents a perfect fusion of tradition, craftsmanship and innovation, offering products that are truly functional works of art. These tools, while expensive, represent an investment in quality and craftsmanship that is hard to match.

Sometimes you need to have a longer blade with you, whether you need to go fishing or make firewood. The P300 is a true universal workhorse that's always at your side thanks to its massive Sleipner steel blade with fantastic cutting performance.

We don't know where your next expedition will take you, but one thing's for sure: there's nothing more important than reliable, quality gear. In designing our flagship P500, we combined the seemingly incompatible. We ground the high-quality Swedish Sleipner steel blade at two different angles. Near the handle is a high sharpness suitable for normal cutting and finer work, while the front has a very durable low, bellied sharpness that shifts the knife's center of gravity significantly toward the tip allowing you to use it on hardwoods and materials with great power. For safe and controlled work, the back of the "five hundred" handle also widens significantly which, in combination with the grippy G10 composite surface, forms a secure and comfortable grip.

We developed the M311 SPELTER knife in collaboration with members of advanced aerial observation units, close protection teams and special air operations. During the development of the knife we focused on using their experience and needs. Thanks to this unique cooperation, we had the opportunity to truly verify the quality of the chosen materials, design and overall construction of the product. The knife has been tested for a long period in extreme environments and various climates, including the hot, dry and humid areas of Asia, as well as the icy areas beyond the polar circle.
