    Published by Do-shin on Mar 3rd 2022

    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.

    Horkos knife

    Published by Logan on Feb 9th 2022

    This knife surpasses every expectation I had for it. There is a great deal of thought and effort put into designing and crafting these knives, and it shows! My brother has a Harsey Model 2 (now called Difensa) and I am as impressed with my Horkos as he is with his Harsey Model 2! I believe I will be adding some more Spartan fixed blades to the collection. Even something on the larger side like the Difensa and Horkos and so amazingly well balanced it makes you wonder why other knife makers don't do more. The answer is simple, Spartan blades is operated with passion and I am also ecstatic to support a company which is not only American, but also supports and is operated by veterans. Hands down the only place I will be buying knives!

    Wow Factor!

    Published by FMitch on Nov 17th 2021

    I'm a West Point grad and saw the collaboration with the West Point team for design and function. It still exceeded my expectations, and the folks at Spartan Blades were kind enough to laser etch my grad year and class motto. I can't recommend this knife enough for tactical, bushcraft, or EDC uses.
