Spartan-Rōnin Shintō: Forged in Tradition, Designed for Action

Embrace the spirit of the Spartan-Rōnin Shintō, a combat knife that beautifully balances the essence of old and new design. Inspired by the philosophy of "Shinto," meaning the practice of connecting the ways of the old with the ways of the new, this knife, designed by Tu Lam and Curtis Iovito, stands as a testament to functionality and craftsmanship.

Key Features:

Philosophical Roots: "Shinto" embodies the practice of connecting traditions with contemporary approaches. The Spartan-Rōnin Shintō pays homage to this philosophy, creating a blade that seamlessly merges old and new design elements.
Renowned Designer: Co-designed by Tu Lam, a retired Special Forces soldier teammate of the Spartan Blades founders. Tu Lam's background as a "Green Beret" and his extensive experience in military and law enforcement training make him a respected authority in the field.
Military and Law Enforcement Training: Tu Lam is the driving force behind RONIN Tactics, Inc., an organization that trains top-tier military and law enforcement units globally in hand-to-hand combat and knife techniques. His expertise is further showcased as the Co-Host of The History Channel's "Forged in Fire, Knife or Death” television series.
Blade Construction: The Spartan-Rōnin Shintō boasts a 5 5/8” fixed re-curve blade made from high-performance CPM S45VN steel. The double deep cryo-heat treatment ensures durability, while the physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating, available in Flat Black or Flat Dark Earth, adds a tactical edge.
