Spartan Blades Horkos FDE S45VN Black Micarta Fixed Blade

Horkos is the Greek personification of the curse that will be inflicted on any person who swears a false oath. The Spartan Blades Horkos was commissioned by the Combat Weapons Team of the US Military Academy (West Point, NY) to honor the graduating class and the oath they take. This is a streamline combat knife that delivers serious performance with a high-speed, low-drag design. This version comes with a Flat Dark Earth PVD coated blade of CPM-S45VN, black canvas Micarta handles and a tan Kydex sheath.

Brand new, direct from Spartan Blades, USA.

Blade: The CPM-S45VN harpoon blade has a mid-height saber grind with a tapered top swedge delivering a very strong tip for piercing with balanced cutting performance and durability. The durable FDE ZrN (Zirconium Nitride) PVD coating is both discreetly non-reflective and resistant to corrosion for enhanced performance. Jimping on the thumb ramp offers more control with a generous finger choil for a close grip for fine work.

Handle: The full tang extends through two contoured and cross textured canvas Micarta handle scales that offer a comfortable and ergonomic platform for a secure grip for serious utility and defensive use. A paracord lanyard is already attached for added security during heavy use while the exposed tang at the pommel can be used as an impact tool.

Sheath: Carries in a custom molded Kydex sheath with MOLLE compatible Pull-the-Dot soft loop backer.

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).
