History of the Spartan 300:
In 480 B.C, during the Persian-Greco Wars, Leonidas lead 300 Spartans and thousands of allies in a mission designed to slow down the Persian military advance toward the heart of Greece. It was considered to be “a suicide mission”. When the battle seemed hopeless King Leonidas, dismissed their allies, leaving only him and 300 other Spartans to hold off thousands of Persian warriors. They were literally outnumbered One Thousand to One !! Yet, they manage to hold the Persians at bay for days. By all historical accounts, the 300 Spartans and King Leonidas fought with their last breath, but was eventually overpowered and killed.

I haven’t started Rockwell testing my blades yet. Some day in the future, I may. Right now I use a file to test hardness and my files bounce over my steel. The file, Barely, if any leaves a groove. I would have to press pretty hard.

Thanks for the great words, brothers! This is probably my favorite one so far. I really enjoyed making this. I know I changed the handle from the original, but that’s just me. I actually got an order today for a black marcata handle Spartan 300 sword. I think that’ll look sweet also. I like full tangs. They feel stronger.
