Horkos
This is a very well made blade, outstanding ergonomics, well made, high quality, however when I received it I couldn’t believe it wasn’t very sharp at all. I have had numerous Benchmade knives and ever one comes razor sharp from factory. I can’t believe Spartan sends out knives that need sharpening right from jump. Very disappointing.

A thing of exquisite beauty - Horkos
First let me say that the speed of order fulfillment and delivery was outstanding. And the destination was across the planet. Thank you. Second, this knife is a work of art and exquisitely utilitarian. Perfectly balanced and fits in my fist like it was tailored. I love it. Thank you!

horkos
My first fixed blade of this size, quality and craftsmanship. Will be good for bushcraft or any other task. Kydex sheath is tight, worth the extra money. I went 3 tone black horkos, green handle, tan sheath which matches my kit. This blade will be around for a long time. Will be getting more Spartan Blades in the future.
Spartan Horkos Combat / Utility Knife
In Greek mythology, Horkos (or-kos) was the personification of the curse that would befall anyone who broke a sacred oath. The Greeks considered Horkos to be the demon-protector of honor, and honor was everything to the ancient Greeks.
The Spartan Horkos custom combat knife was commissioned by the Combat Weapons Team of the United States Military Academy in West Point, NY, with custom etching to honor their graduating class. As all graduates of West Point are defenders of our freedom and take a sacred oath to protect the U.S. Constitution, we chose Horkos as the name of this formidable combat knife.
The Horkos is designed as an excellent all-around combat and utility knife. It’s intended to see its user through a variety of tough situations, and is crafted with reliability, durability, and functionality in mind.
