Designed by Andrew Demko, the Cold Steel
Spartan 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
Spartan 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 Spartan 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 Spartan 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 Spartan™ incorporates our Tri-AD 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. |
