Spartan Blades Ronin Shinto Fixed Blade Knife 5.63in S45VN FDE Recurve SB47DEBKNLMC

The Spartan Blades Ronin Shinto Fixed Blade Knife is the embodiment of tactical mastery merged with the timeless traditions of the samurai. Born from the collaboration between Tu Lam, former Green Beret and founder of Ronin Tactics, and Curtis Iovito, Spartan Blades co-founder and U.S. Special Forces veteran, this knife reflects the discipline, skill, and honor of warriors past and present. Every detail speaks to the heritage of those who live and operate by precision and purpose.

Drawing inspiration from the Shinto period of feudal Japan—an era when the sword was not only a warrior’s primary weapon but also a symbol of his soul—the Ronin Shinto translates that spirit into a modern battlefield-ready form. Measuring 10.5 inches overall, the knife features a 5.625-inch full-tang recurve blade crafted from premium CPM S45VN stainless steel. Its aggressive curvature is precision-ground for superior slicing performance and deep penetration, making it equally effective for combat, fieldwork, and survival tasks.

The blade’s ZrN (Zirconium Nitride) PVD coating in Flat Dark Earth delivers exceptional wear resistance, outstanding corrosion protection, and reduced reflectivity for discreet performance in the field. The warm earth-tone finish adds a modern tactical edge while nodding to the subdued elegance of its samurai-inspired heritage.

For an uncompromising grip in all conditions, the handle is fitted with black canvas Micarta scales, contoured and textured for both comfort and control. These scales are secured with stainless steel Torx hardware for lasting durability in the harshest environments. A lanyard hole with a cord lanyard offers quick-access handling, while the included camouflaged lined nylon MOLLE sheath provides multiple carry options—whether attached to a plate carrier, pack, or belt—making it adaptable to the needs of today’s tactical professionals.

Weighing 8.92 ounces, the Ronin Shinto is built for balance, speed, and resilience. Proudly made in the USA, it’s designed for those who expect their blade to perform flawlessly in any situation, from high-stakes missions to personal preparedness. For those who live by the ethos of the Ronin—independent, skilled, and unyielding—this knife stands as both a trusted tool and a symbol of dedication to the warrior’s path.

The Spartan Blades Ronin Shinto is more than a cutting instrument; it’s a battle-tested ally forged in the spirit of ancient tradition and engineered for the modern age.
