You couldn’t had picked a better knife!“I do not stop when tired, I stop when done”
I recently acquired a second Spartan Harsey with the runes and staves. The first example I own is the Plague Doctor edition that is more or less a safe queen. I love the design - it is for me the perfect love child of a CRK and to a degree a Hinderer. It does admittedly feel a bit adulterous for me having had a CRK in my pocket mainly for the past year or so. However as the two founders of Spartan were actually tutored by Mr Reeve himself; it stands to reason that a great many similarities exist - and dare I say improvements are to be found.
The quote at the beginning of my post is actually inscribed in Icelandic on the inside of the show scale - you can maybe make it out in the last pic below.
I have committed to carrying this knife for the next year, exclusively. This has been a bit of a trying year for me - mostly work related; and without waxing too poetic; I’m tired. Anything can “cut” but to me this is a fine example of cutlery and I will be reminded to never stop and never quit on a daily basis. I greatly look forward to putting it though the paces, I have little doubt it will prove itself a worthy companion.
The Blur is the knife that got me started!!Kershaw Blur… s30v… I changed out the standoffs from black to satin, and added the MXG deep carry clip so now the rough grip texture doesn’t chew up my pocket as much.

Today I got a new, small, tanto, fixed blade. Made by EGO Knives from Bulgaria, my second blade from this guy.
Excellent work on the first one, as well as the one I got before, very happy with his HT of the D2 blade.
He got a small FB site, worth googling it, very nice designs, impeccable work.
Pictured by a large Griptillian for size comparison.
I didn't get the knife yet, waiting for the Holiday craze to go away, before we ship it from Bulgaria, it is complicated anyway as some of you guys know...
Still, very excited about this little guy, I have a feeling it will be one of the most carried fixed blades, and I don't carry much fixed blades except in some rare occasions.
Special thanks to my friend from Bulgaria V VESO RAD , who is essential with the logistics of my purchases there !
