The Spartan Sword is an exceptional addition to Honshu&&';;s rock solid tactical weapon line. Always innovative and always at the forefront of the industry, United Cutlery&&';;s blades are meant for real world use so, their construction has a strength and quality that cannot be matched! This reimagining of an ancient weapon has a full-tang, 16 1/2" 7Cr13 stainless steel blade that has a phenomenally sharp blade, which features a classic blood groove and modern, weight-reducing thru-holes in the spine. The hefty stainless steel guard is curved back toward the handle, giving your hand a sturdy buffer and assisting in firming up your grip when using the knife. The ergonomic, TPR injection handle is tough and grippy with finger grooves and a textured pattern. The 23" overall length Spartan Sword snaps securely into its heavy-duty leather belt sheath for storage and carry and the handle has a brass lanyard hole to give you another storage or carry option.
