Spartan Blades Spartan Ronin Shinto Fixed Blade Knife FDE-BLK 5.62In. CPM S45VN Recurve SB47DEBKKYTN

The Spartan-Rōnin Shintō is a knife that bridges ancient warrior tradition and modern tactical needs with bold precision. Designed by retired Special Forces veteran Tu Lam and Spartan Blades co-founder Curtis Iovito, this fixed-blade knife is a direct result of real-world experience and deep respect for traditional martial values. Its name—Shintō—represents the blending of old and new, a concept carried through in both its aesthetic and performance-driven construction. This combat-grade tool features a 5.62-inch recurve blade forged from premium CPM S45VN stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The blade is finished with a durable PVD coating Flat Dark Earth giving it a rugged, non-reflective appearance suited for tactical operations and field use. A deep cryo-heat treatment boosts the steel's hardness to 59-61 HRC, ensuring a keen edge and reliable performance under pressure.

The handle is crafted from black CE Canvas Micarta®, offering a comfortable, slip-resistant grip even in wet or gloved conditions. Its ergonomic contouring supports precise control in close-quarters situations and extended use. With a full tang construction and solid weight of just 8.93 ounces, the Spartan-Rōnin Shintō is balanced for both fluid movement and brute strength. Tu Lam's background as a “Green Beret” and founder of RONIN Tactics, Inc.—an elite training organization for military and law enforcement—infuses every detail of this knife with intentional design. Whether you're on deployment, in the field, or demanding top-tier gear as a civilian, this blade answers the call. For carry options, the Spartan-Rōnin Shintō comes with a low-profile Kydex with belt loop Coyote Tan. Both sheath options offer secure retention and versatile mounting configurations. Proudly made in the USA, this blade isn't just a cutting tool—it's a reflection of purpose, performance, and professional-grade reliability.
