Frequently Asked Questions
What makes S45VN steel different from other blade steels?
S45VN is a premium stainless steel that offers excellent edge retention and toughness. The steel is hardened to 59-61 HRC, providing a good balance between sharpness retention and ease of sharpening. It also resists corrosion better than carbon steels.
Does the Kydex sheath work for belt carry?
The included Kydex sheath features an IWB loop designed primarily for inside-the-waistband concealed carry. The sheath comes in black or coyote color options to match your carry preference.
How thick is the blade for heavy-duty tasks?
The blade measures 3/16 inch thick, which provides good strength for utility cutting while keeping the overall profile slim for concealed carry. This thickness handles most everyday cutting tasks effectively.
What handle color options are available?
The G10 handle is available in black, green, and coyote tan color options. The textured G10 material provides secure grip even when wet.
What is the SpartaCoat finish?
SpartaCoat is Spartan Blades' PVD coating system. This knife features Tungsten DLC coating in flat black, which reduces reflection and adds an extra layer of corrosion protection to the S45VN steel.
