It holds a sharp edge longer than most steels while remaining easy to sharpen when maintenance is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow should I maintain the SpartaCoat finish?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tungsten DLC coating requires minimal maintenance. Clean with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. The coating resists wear and corrosion, but avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the relieved distal spine design accomplish?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe relieved distal spine reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity. Combined with the tapered drop point, this design creates a strong tip that resists breaking during heavy-duty tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this knife suitable for everyday carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 10 7\/8 inches overall length and 0.556 pounds, the Horkos is designed for tactical and utility applications rather than pocket carry. The included nylon sheath provides secure belt carry options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the significance of the West Point connection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis knife was specifically commissioned by the Combat Weapons Team at the United States Military Academy. The design meets their standards for a combat utility blade, with custom etching available to honor graduating classes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spartan Blades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43773886955619,"sku":"27190","price":330.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7546\/5827\/files\/27190.jpg?v=1760239449","url":"https:\/\/tacticaledge.com\/products\/horkos-combat-utility-knife-fde-blade-green-handle-tan-nylon-sheath-27190","provider":"tacticaledge.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
