    Balanced --near perfect

    Published by Marc M. on Nov 20th 2017

    I purchased the Horkos and discovered Spartan Blades through an ad in Recoil. The blade is amazing, well worth the price. One suggestion would be to make the handle slightly thicker for larger hands, maybe 1/8" to 1/4 inch.

    Combat ready

    Published by Unknown on May 31st 2017

    This knife is a well made and well thought out knife that will serve very well as a combat ready or utility camp knife. It has excellent balance and fit, as well as being the perfect size for multitasking anything that a knife may be expected to do. It fits perfectly in the hand, and is a snug fit in the sheath. I have purchased many knives thinking they were the one knife that I felt could do anything, only to be disappointed on their arrival, but not so with this knife. It is worth every penny, and is a very worthwhile knife to own. Also, the response time was amazing, I ordered the knife at 7:30 am and by 8:30 am the same day, I received notice that it was packaged and being shipped. The knife arrived two days later, and was everything that I was hoping for. Thank you.

    An incredible work of art

    Published by Benjamin Shaffer on Apr 18th 2017

    I say art, but we all know it's a tool, right? Even say, it's one of the best looking tools i've ever owned. It feels so solid, the edge is incredible, and it just works. Beautifully. If you're on the fence about buying it because of the cost, just do it. Buy once cry once. In my case, cry tears of joy.

    You have to hold it.

    Published by Richard on May 11th 2016

    This is a great knife, not just aesthetically, which is the design, but the quality and the ergonomics when you hold it in your hand. Trust me.

    Excellent fit and finish. The knife is light, yet very sturdy. The knife came razor sharp and the attention to detail on every aspect is truly amazing! Excellent customer service and very fast shipping. I will be a Spartan Blades regular customer from now on!
