Sidearms & Scatterguns Spartan Blades

[SeanRT]

Just wanted to see if any of you gentlemen had any experience with these knievs, what you think of the blade material, and the knife itself.

Re: Spartan Blades

They are made by Mark Carey and Curt Iovito, two close friends of mine. They got their start with the help of legendary knife makers Bill Harsey (designer of the Special Forces knife and 2010 USASOC Chuck Norris Match Champion) and Chris Reeve.

Mark and Curtis are both retired Special Forces noncommissioned officers. Mark was NCOIC of the Special Operations Target Interdiction Course (SOTIC, now Special Forces Sniper Course) and Curt was one of my snipers and also a SOTIC instructor and Camp Perry competitor.

Their knives are first-class tools. They will be introducing a folder shortly.

Re: Spartan Blades

I'd be in for an Enyo.

Re: Spartan Blades

I'd be in for an Enyo and CQB, and maybe Phobos, depending on price.

Re: Spartan Blades

I think I'm salivating now.

 

[SeanRT]

Re: Spartan Blades

Yeah, I'm going to be ordering the Ares Fighter.

I'm just waiting for them to get some more Kydex sheaths; they were out of stock this week and last week.

Also, these guys will give military personnel a 10% discount with a valid CAC ID.

However, please let me know if they would be willing to give a greater sicount on a group buy. Just PM me. Thanks!

Not tryting to hijack the thread but be careful about scanning a copy of your Mil ID, since UCMJ has stated copying/scanning of Mil IDs is a crime.

Re: Spartan Blades

I have an Enyo that I took overseas. I lost it during a patrol, and they gave me an extra 10% on top of the .mil discount towards a replacement. Great guys, and I love the knife.

Re: Spartan Blades

They make a great product and are very nice guys! Without stepping on any toes, I would love to host a group buy. This will be my first one and I'm ready to give it a go. It is a small company with very limited runs. The wait time varies depending on the model. Please PM or email to [email protected].

Thanks,
Matt D

Re: Spartan Blades

I'd be in on a group buy if I could get a Nyx. It's not shown on Matt D's site, though.

 

[SeanRT]

Re: Spartan Blades

So, I went ahead and ordered a Spartan Horkos and it should arrive either today or tomorrow...I HATE THE WAIT!

 

[SeanRT]

Re: Spartan Blades

Just got my new blade in the mail today. It's freakin' awesome; Curtis and Mark even sent me a hand-written note thanking me for the purchase. Great guys and a great knife company, hands down!

Re: Spartan Blades

Walked some of the same paths with Curtis in Iraq. Good dude, and I have no doubt his product reflects his standards well.

 

[PorkChop]

Re: Spartan Blades

I too just got an Enyo. It is one sweet little knife it is perfect for carrying. Awesome knife now I want more.
