    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

    Awesome Duty Blade

    Published by AZ Joe on Oct 7th 2024

    I got the Horkos in fde brown with the black handles. I got the coyote brown nylon sheath with mine and I wish I would have went straight for the kydex one. I ended up ordering the brown kydex one and now I am rocking. This is an awesome blade and I like how it is the ramping at the front and the finger choil for doing finer detail tasks. The end of the knife can be used as a glass breaker if needed. I don't recommend the nylon sheath and would suggest you get the kydex one, way nicer. Besides that, I am happy with my first Spartan Blades. They seem like a legit company and I plan to do business with them in the future.
