Beautifully made
First impression of this knife, kind of weird because of the angle of the blade but as I did a few drills with it, I start to understand why the angle. It's perfect and I can see there were some research went into it. I have no intention to use this in any form of fighting as I'm not in the military or anything like that and it is too big for EDC. From a collector point of view, it is beautifully made, and well balanced. I have the Enyo in S35VN which can hold a sharp edge very well, I would expect S45VN perform a little bit better. It is relatively easy to put a polished edge on using a 1000 grid diamond stone and a 16,000 ceramic stone. Don't get me wrong, the knife came razor sharp already. I just like to polish my knife edge to a mirror finish. The handle feels great in the hand but I thought it would look better with a set of wooden scales so I made a set with Brazilian Rosewood, it adds a little flare to the knife.

Updated review
I’ve had the Spartan Ares for a week now and decided to abuse the crap out of it. I know its a tactical/martial knife but I took it camping with me. I did some light brush clearing and other bushcraft related things with it to familiarize myself with its dynamic. It did okay at those tasks but again, tactical knife. It was exposed to salt water, sweat and hard edge use but no serious blemish and the blade is still paper cutting sharp. It is a very well balanced blade. I did not budget for the kydex sheath so I have the black nylon which has a bunch of loops and paracord that left me perplexed as to their function but maybe somebody in the service would use and know what they are about. I figured out a way to fold the belt attachment in such a way that made it inside the waist where legal but also let it hang off outside when in the woods. In short I got it as a defensive and survival knife at the recommendation of a Ronin Tactics video and thought if an expert with real life experience respects the knife then maybe they know what they’re doing. I suspect I’m right, backed up with the fact that I have my own limited martial arts experience as well as being a hobbyist blade smith as well. I carry this with confidence and give a hat tip to Spartan for making an outstanding weapon/tool. Worth every penny.

Ares blade
My Spartan Ares arrived today in the mail. My initial impressions are very positive. This is a blade that demands respect from its handler as well as inspires confidence. I put my other edc blade away as soon as I gripped the Ares. Seems like a good marriage where form and function compliment each other. Perfect fighter. Probably decent at other tasks as well.

Needs work
Good looking design, but blade and coating were not. Coating had scuffs and scratches. Blade had dull spots and needed sharpened. I polished and sharpened the blade and now its way better. Quality control needs work. Solid blade material and nice looking design though.
