Fantastic blade! You can feel the weight behind it as well. Definitely built to last and the handle grip is terrific! Love the engraving as well.

I own two of these and keep them on two different kits. They’re awesome knives and very comfortable in the hand, paired with a trainer, they are a very good self-defense option when breaking contact isn’t achievable. I highly recommend

Spartan blades are the best blades out there. The Ronin Shinto follows thier tradition and will not disappoint. I've had several Spartans and they have never failed me when I needed them!

The blade itself is great and the kydex is nice. Love the handle and all of its considerate ergonomics. I have had it for 2 weeks already and have broken the belt mount, but I have been working it hard. If you wear a lot of gear, and have to take it on and off often, it may hook up on the handle of the knife. Otherwise, the knife has never fallen out of the kydex. It holds firm. I have taken it on 2 weeks of infantry field ex now and I am impressed.

I haven’t actually cut anything with this knife yet, but just running my thumb across the edge definitely gives me the warm fuzzies. The shape is sexy af, the balance is perfect even though it looks like it would be front-heavy, and the weight in the hand surely inspires confidence. I’ve barely been able to put it down since I got my hands on it. On top of it’s obvious design as a fighting knife, I think the blade shape would make it an excellent knife for field dressing an animal, a hunch I intend to test soon. And the thickness of the steel also seems like this knife would serve well as a prybar if I need one. Great all around knife from what I can tell so far. Thanks so much!

This knife is insanely sharp out of the box and holds its edge very well. The balance is perfect and the Kydex sheath is well made and versatile. The knife's design makes it very useful. 10/10 would recommend, you're getting what you pay for with this one.
