Nice collection Czechmate, is that bone handle on the 3rd knife from the left ? Anyway it's sweet looking.Nice score on the Spartan!
Any knife with dual/double edges turn my crank LOL...
My small collection of DE blades; two custom dags left and right of center.
That looks pretty sweet, except I'm not into the serrations. Any idea of what the blade is made from ?My boot knife is an Eickhorn SEK-M. Eickhorn is a bit unknown in America, they're a German brand that from what I understand is very well respected in their home country. Some of their knives are standard issue in the German military.
The SEK-M is a marine knife, a navy knife, a diving knife. It comes with a forearm sheath. You can use some strips of double-sided Velcro to make extensions to be able to wrap the sheath around your leg. Or you can have a custom sheath made, which is what I did (from survivalsheath.com, their ankle sheath).
It's a bit shorter than the other knives being mentioned. It's also a bit less expensive. As far as I know, no US retailer imports and sells Eickhorn knives, but they're readily available new on eBay. The SEK-M is usually around $300. It's a very sturdy, high-quality knife.

I ordered my Spartan/EK in evening of 4-19, my order was shipped the very next day and was in my hands by 10am on 4-21. No complaints on the delivery service.
Thanks! It's mammoth tusk. :thumbup:

I ordered my Spartan/EK in evening of 4-19, my order was shipped the very next day and was in my hands by 10am on 4-21. No complaints on the delivery service.
The package was sealed up tight, wrapped in brown paper with the ends sealed up using Spartan stickers, making it obvious if anyone tried to tamper with the package. The knife itself was secured from bouncing around with bubble wrap and they included a hand written "Thank You" note in the package.
The knife itself is a beauty, a serious looking blade with a great feel and balance in my hands, it feels like an extension of my arm. I would be very confident this blade would keep me safe if need be. All in all a great purchase from Spartan. !'ll be getting one of their Silver Spartan Helmet beads and para-cord once they are back in stock.
This is a great looking and feeling knife that was made proudly in the USA from USA sourced materials by proud Americans. Bravo !!
I would definitely do business with Spartan Blades again.
Alongside my EDC which I used to open the box.
I went to photobucket.com and made a free profile. You can upload any pics or short videos you want to your collection and folders you make on the site. Then by simply clicking on the pic once it's uploaded you can copy and paste the url to the forum. It's actually real easy and totally free. Feel free to PM me if you need any help getting familiar with it.
Both of those blades look great and no slippage with those handles I bet. I hate to show my ignorance, but I'm still learning who all the real good knife makers are, who made your blades ?[/URL][/IMG]
Folder in the pocket. CT1 in the car. We can't conceal daggers here and I don't like strangers to know what I got.(besides random anonymous ones one the web haha)
