Worth it!
I proudly purchased this blade because I’ve wanted a spartan blade for a while and this was a great first one. It feels great and is really well balanced. It is a bit pricey but in my opinion it very much worth it.

Shipped fast, very balanced knife, feels great in the hand. Fit and finish were awesome, came sharp. Like the sheath, wish it came with different attachment options.

great blade and support, poor quality control.
upon unboxing the knife it seemed like there was some oil on the blade, but as i looked closer it was clear that someone had messed up the dlc coating and it was smudged and then dried, which didn't look good at all. on top of the poor coating, there were scrapes on the blade that let the silver steel color show through. all of this was straight out of the box as well, I just expected ordering a knife directly from them at this price point to have perfect quality control.
despite all that, their customer service has been outstanding, sending me a return label so i could ship it out to them and they'll ship me a new one. as of writing this review i am waiting for them to ship that new one out.
even with the cosmetic defects the knife was absolutely amazing, so i can only imagine what it'll be like in perfect condition. I recommend anyone looking for a good fixed blade purchases this one. If you get unlucky like me, at least you can count on their customer service to right the wrongs.

More than I was expecting, sits and moves well in the hands, nimble and fast, like a pen it goes where directed. Very nice blade.

Best Knife I Own
Subject speaks for itself! Hands down the best knife I have purchased. Thank you Spartan and Ronin Tactics for making this gem!
