Brand new, direct from Spartan Blades, USA.

Blade: A classic, utilitarian drop point blade is made from CPM-S45VN with a top swedge and high saber grind for balanced performance and durability. Stonewashed for a rugged look that will hide everyday wear. Riding on reliable bronze washers the blade deploys fast and smooth via dual bronze titanium thumb studs. Aggressive jimping on the thumb ramp offers added traction and a point for indexing.

Handle:  Ergonomic handles have been constructed from custom anodized 6AL4V titanium with deep engraved graphics along with a Spartan engraved clip insert. Titanium barrel spacers, handle screws and custom pivot complete the construction. The back titanium slab forms an integral frame lock mechanism for reliable lock-up in hard use conditions with oversized pivot lockbar stabilizer.

Carries via a reversible, tip-up, titanium Spartan Arrow pocket clip.

CPM S45VN: An evolution in the S30-series of steels from Crucible, S45VN shows improved edge retention and corrosion resistance relative to S35VN a slight reduction in toughness. Also considered an upgrade to Elmax with similar edge retention but better hardness, corrosion resistance, toughness, and a finer carbide structure (better sharpness).
