COLD STEEL 21S SPARTAN FOLDER GRIVORY HANDLE
 |
|
|
The word Spartan conjures
up the vivid history of the battle of Thermopylae, a story of enormous courage
in the face of devastating odds. The Spartans were a tough breed, trained from
childhood in the art of war and inured to most privations, both mental and physical.
Engaging them at close quarters was something to be feared and avoided, as their
famous Kopis swords struck off arms and legs like a scythe in a wheat field!
Designed by Andrew Demko, the Cold Steel Spartanâ„¢ is a folding Kopis scaled
down to accommodate the demands of a tamer, more sophisticated world. The 4"
blade evokes the classic Kopis of the ancients with its characteristic recurved
edge, big belly and sharp, acute point. It’s hollow ground from Japanese AUS
8A stainless and has some similarities with a Kukri. Like the Kukri, the Spartanâ„¢
always presents its edge at an angle to the material being cut to produce a
deep sheering effect. However, since its point is narrower and more acute than
most Kukri blades, it stabs almost as well as it cuts. The Spartanâ„¢ also echoes
the ancient Kopis in its handle. It’s designed to help the hand resist the pull
of centrifugal force and to retard forward momentum, when stabbing, or backward
movement, when hammering or smashing with its pommel. Injection molded out of
Grivory with steel liners for strength, it’s heavily contoured for comfort and
features irregular fluting and a heavily textured surface finish for an exceptionally
effective grip. The Spartanâ„¢ has dual pocket clips to assure ambidextrous carry
and for quick draw opening, it features a thumb plate that can be used to open
the knife like a conventional "one handed opener" or be snagged on the edge
of a pocket during the draw stroke and opened automatically. Additionally, the
Spartanâ„¢ incorporates our Tri-Adâ„¢ locking mechanism, which has proven, under
torture testing to be almost impervious to stress, strain and shock. It’s almost
impossible to overcome and offers a huge margin of safety not found in our competitor’s
folders.
