How about it folks a Spartan XL would be Awesome Imho. I really like the Spartan but the blade seems a tad short. What you say?
 
the spartan was the first CS i bought, because it looked mean. I've since learned I'm a lover not a fighter, so it sits in the drawer. I think the rajah would be a fine spartan xl.

I've got that one and it's a fine knife for sure. I like the Spartan style blade it just seems stubby to me. Maybe I've been Carrying the XL's too long. The flavor of the month is the Talwar XL. Have a knife day. 😁
 
The Rajah II came to mind immediately, but then I thought about what it would be like to keep the shape of the Spartan and make it 6" instead of 4" - one of those, "probably don't need it, but..." Love my Rajah II and use it regularly.
 
I don't have a Spartan I never really like the looks of them. And the blade is kind of short and kind of small for what I'm used to carrying. I mostly use my XL models. But I have no first hand experience so I'm only going by conjecture. Certainly looks strong though. I was always curious as to how them handle slabs feel. They seem awkward.

It feels pretty good in hand and your hand actually locks into the handle quite well unless you have hands like a gorilla. Then again, an XL would be in order.
