    My Number 1 Pick For A Knife

    Published by Garrett on Jul 21st 2025

    I cannot say enough about this blade. It fits so perfectly in my hand that I wish I could buy 10 of these and keep around my house and vehicles. The blade design is just absolutely perfect for combat training and bushcraft alike. The blade length is just perfect for me since I consider the perfect blades lengths around 5 inches on average. The grip fits perfectly in my hand and I wear a large size glove off the rack. I am thrilled with the fact that Spartan Blades changed their blades to the premium Magnacut steel with it better balance of toughness and edge retention. The quality and design of this knife is worth it
