    Excellent craftsmanship as always with Spartan Blades! I am confident it will withstand a lifetime of abuse just like the other blades I have from them.

    I Can't Say Enough Good Things

    This blade is my idea of an all around combat blade. Sharp as a razor out of the box, and very solid feeling in the hand. Micarta grips are perfect with their size and grip texture. Honestly, for all you grunts out there, this knife brings the cold steel and sex appeal to you in a sleek package. Keep up the great work Spartan Blades!

    Horkos Review

    Published by tk on May 11th 2020

    Loved the personal note on the receipt. The knife arrived quickly and was VERY sharp. It has excellent balance, a comfortable handle, that doesn't have any hot spots. The knife is very light. My only criticism: the handles could be a bit thicker. Overall I'm tremendously satisfied with the purchase.

    The Horkos is one of the most exceptional blades I have come across. The balance is outstanding, the finish and bevel are perfect. I look forward to deploying with this knife and putting the Spartan name to the test.

    I am VERY happy with my Spartan Horkos (Black on Black). After reading all of the reviews on the forums, I decided to purchase one. The knife and service provided by Spartan is outstanding. I will be recommending them to friends and family.
