Beautiful, Rugged, Top-Notch
100% satisfied with this blade. I got lucky and got one when they added a few more late at night and I must say, it’s all I expected from Spartan / Ronin and more. This thing is a piece of art. Beautiful, high quality, rugged, feels great, sharp as heck, and created by two amazing companies together. The attention to detail is completely obvious and design couldn’t be better You absolutely can’t go wrong and I recommend this to anyone and everyone. It’s almost a sin to NOT get one. Couldn’t be happier. Honestly. Great work to all involved and thank you very much!

RōNIN Shōtō Folding Karambit
As with all Spartan blades it’s a superior blade of master quality. If you’re trying to make up your mind, just buy it. You won’t regret it.

Stout
This was a Day 1 purchase. The Ronin Shōtō is a purpose built tool with a mind for practicality. The order was filled quickly and delivered ahead of schedule. This has replaced my every day carry. Its utility, size, and weight make it an excellent piece of kit. The Emerson wave design give a positive grip. The blade length and construction are practical.

Love the design!
Feels great in the hand flows well with the drills. I would give this 5 stars but if I am to be 100% honest I had 2 small quibbles with it. Firstly the pocket clip cover with the lotus only fit on one side and I had to rework the G10 to get it to fit flush and the second is mine was so super stiff to close it required 2 hands and a disassembly reassembly to get it working though I am quite sure over time it will work in. The wave feature works flawlessly and the edge profile was right on the money! The texturing on the G10 was perfect as well aggressive enough to hold fast yet not so rough as to blister the hands after some intense drills. The ring was smooth and large enough for my fingers to really go to work with it. I tried all the features and suggestions Tu had in the video release from batoning the arm drill with it closed to the forward punch drill and found it to be great for all of them. Aside the 2 minor minor issues I had, which I am quite sure are an early run issue, this Shoto is a beast and a great piece of kit to add for anyone who is serious about self protection and defence in CQB applications. Highly recommend it for sure.

Great Carry knife
I purchased this as a EDC knife. I already have a Spartan / Ronin fixed blade, and I knew the quality would be superb (it is). It is a little hefty for EDC, but it will be my go to carry when on duty. I am retired from Gov't work, but still do security duties and consulting, and I have a different set up when pulling duty. The knife is well balanced, easy to use (wave deployment is exceptionally smooth and easy). The knife appears to be indestructible. I have not torture tested it, but frankly I don't need to. This is a tough and utilitarian tool. This is one on which I would trust my life. Well done Brothers. (As Usual)
