Spartan Blades “Nymph” Integral Frame Lock Slip Joint Folder

It almost looks like you could make one straight cut and eliminate that triangular hole and wave it at the same time.

I checked out the Nymp when I was at Blade. It is a little different than a lot of the integral folders I've seen, and I like the lateral support they added in. I'm going to pick up a blue one for my wife later.

It's a little small for me I think, but having put a few of their fixed blades through a lot over the last three years or so, I picked up an Akribis and love it though. It compliments the others I have well, and I finally have a knife made by one of my favorite knife companies that I can edc even when I take my daughter into the city to the museum

I think so too, and smooth as silk. I love the fact that it is solid, has heavy duty stop bar and pivot, but doesn't try to be a folding fixed blade that feels like a boat anchor in my pocket

Excuse my ignorance, but why don't I hear more about "Spartan Knives" here on BF???

Is there something I'm missing?

I've not seen a lot about them here either. From what I have seen in most of their customers is a lot of time camping in foreign lands and not a lot of time for forums I know when I asked them at Blade the guys that own Spartan said they really didn't have time to start a sub forum here with all everything they have going on.

I did post a review of the Spartan knives I had a while back.

Spartan Blades makes great knives. I have one of their smooth, tough and classy Akribis folders in Meteorite Gray Carbon Fiber: Spartan Blades Akribis folders with 3.5" blade of S35VN.

Remember they won two awards at the 2014 Blade Show:
