The Spartan Phrike Self Defense/Utility Knife draws its inspiration from ancient Greek mythology, with Phrike being the goddess associated with horror and fear. In the Greek language, "phrike" translates to "tremor" or "shivering." Despite its compact size, the Spartan Phrike custom self-defense knife is a formidable and finely crafted tool designed for both self-defense and utility use.

The Phrike features a small and lightweight blade, measuring 4.25 inches, specifically designed for easy carry and versatile applications such as self-defense and bushcraft. The knife's minimal inset handle adds to its comfort, slim profile, and high portability.

As an excellent utility knife, the Phrike is suitable for daily tasks and proves handy in various situations. Its outdoor capabilities make it a reliable companion for hunting and backpacking trips. Beyond its utility, the Phrike stands out as a handcrafted self-defense knife, ideal for emergencies and unforeseen circumstances.

The knife comes with a Kydex sheath that matches the blade color and is equipped with an IWB (Inside the Waistband) loop.

    Best Knife

    Published by CHEN ZHEN YANG on Aug 28th 2025

    This knife is really great. It has high-quality steel, proper heat treatment, suitable for concealed carry, and more importantly, excellent service. It fully embodies the American spirit: integrity, reliability and honor. I really love phrike and spartan blades.

    Spartan Phrike

    Published by Richard Quong on Aug 22nd 2025

    The Phrike is the perfect knife for a concealed EDC, with an IWB Kytex sheath. The spear point blade made of MagnaCut in the ultimate steel for a knife dealing with the elements. I am extremely satisfied with my new EDC.

    Best Neck Knife

    Published by Bob on Sep 23rd 2024

    I don't use my blades for more than one purpose nd this blade while diminutive in size is a highly effective defense tool. The ergonomics are can't be outdone. And the price isn't bad at all. If you want a quick and effective fighting neck knife get the Enyo.

    The Best EDC

    Published by Ed on Sep 15th 2024

    This is the best EDC blade I have, and I have 6 Spartan blades. It has a very thin profile but the handle is extremely grippy and the Magnacut blade cannot be surpassed. Or equally for that matter. You can't beat this knife for daily defensive blade.

    The Perfect Wet Knife

    Published by Alden on Sep 10th 2024

    I've now purchased this knife three times. Throughout the years, it has saved my life more than once, and has never failed me. The only reason I've purchased this knife again, is because the other ones were given away to good friends. This is definitely a one-job knife, and I would advise against using it for general purpose or bushcraft.

    I Forgot

    Published by Ed795 on Sep 3rd 2024

    I Forgot how cool this blade really is. I've had several Phrikes over the years and you couldn't ask for a finer EDC blade. Sharp, agile and handles beautifully in the hand. Well worth the money.

    Great CC Blade

    Published by Edward on Aug 28th 2024

    You won't find a better EDC knife. It's flat but the handles are very grippy so it stays right in the hand. Extremely sharp and agile. The belt loop it comes with is ok but not great. Overall an excellent investment.
