The clip for my pocket broke off because it got snagged on seat belt. Need to replace the clip. Only have had it for a week. Other than that the quality is excellent and the knife works fantastic.
I've wanted this blade for awhile, it's my 2nd Spartan blade and I love it, solid blade, good quality, very comfortable in the hand. The issue I have with it, I think the blade could've been a little sharper. Besides that great Knife!!!!
Amazing design and construction. Waiting for my cqb tool and enyo to add to my new collection. Never knew about spartan blades until I came across one of Tu Lam’s videos.
Really like this knife. Also have the Ronin Shinto, everything I’ve ordered from you guys comes fast. Love your products
This knife is of the same Great Quality of every other I have purchased from Spartan Blades. I love the quick open when pulling from pocket. The design is Well Done. Kudos to everyone at Spartan Blades.
Feels very sturdy, great EDC knife, only could have been a little sharper out the box but that can be fixed, still a 5/5 for me.
I ordered this knife as a gift for a friend. It arrived quickly and it was nicer than I expected. The handle is thick and sturdy. I like the large and wide ring. The blade is nicely finished and robust. I ordered another one for myself after playing with it for a couple of minutes.
Was a suggestion from a friend. Great pick my new every day carry.
Was a suggestion for my friend. Solid pick now my every day carry.
I see that Emerson just came out with a CQB-7 (I believe that's correct)Tanto/karambit design. While I'm sure it's a very fine blade, Tu Lam and Spartan thought it up first. Imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery.
