Great EDC
This is my first knife from them and I am very impressed by how well this was designed and made. The collaboration with Tu Lam resulted in a great EDC knife.

Incredible
I was initially unsure about ordering this, but when they came back in stock, I knew I had to pull the trigger. This blade is everything I ever wanted. Its very clear the level of craftsmanship that went into it. Smooth, fast, sleek, incredible. Looking forward to carrying this for years to come.

Ronin Shoto Karambit
Exactly what you think coming from Tu and Spartan! Pure excellence from guys that have sacrificed so much. The draw stroke on this knife is a bit different then old carry, so that's going to take some practice. Semper Fi

Overall the design is beautiful and practical I wish there was a functional mechanism for the blade itself so that it may retract out of resting position for quicker use. Otherwise, a great and stylish blade with a reasonable weight.

I truly love this knife. It can fairly sharp out of the box and with minor honing I had it razor sharp. It’s quality build throughout but I do have several small gripes about it. When I first got it the liner lock was only engaging the blade about 1/3rd the thickness of the liner and was not fully (safely) locking. It was an easy fix taking it apart and just bending the lock a little more in for a more solid engagement, another issue I have is the blade action is stiff and it just seams that way naturally I’ve played with the tension on the axle screw and it’s just always stiff, not enough to interfere with the operation but the blade definitely won’t fall closed with the lock opened …. All that being said I truly love this knife and am seriously thinking about getting a second just so I have one should anything happen to this one

Excellent High Quality
This knife is excellent, didn't know how it worked at first till I took it out of my pocket and the blade lip got caught on the side and instanty open wow, I was wondering how he was opening it that fast in the video. Ingenious but very simple invention, this is the fastest opening knife, I really like it you can't go wrong and at a reasonable price high quality self defense knife.

It has a good weight to it but not enough to weigh down your pockets and feels natural fit in your hand. Whether you are Military or Public safety this knife is for you! This is my first Spartan Blades product and I'll say that they made a lifelong customer out of me. Very pleased!
