The store is small and crowded with equipment and outdoor products. the first time it was a busy Saturday and the employees in there seemed a little bit frazzled when I was asking for help with an item. My last visit wasn't much different except I was the only one in the store and the woman there didn't seem interested in helping me when I was asking her about hiking shoes. She quickly dismissed my inquiry and told me she didn't think I'd have anything that would work for me. I purchased over $300 of apparel for an upcoming trip but walked out without the one thing that I needed. I strongly believed that if the woman would've taken a minute to show me the room with nothing but hiking and outdoor shoes I would've found something. Not sure if she was the owner, but I couldn't imagine an employee brushing off perspective buyer. Not sure I will return . I went to Halfmoon outfitters and they were very accommodating and assisted me with purchasing other items I needed for my trip.

I ordered my first Spartan Harsey Folder back in 2019, and ever since then it has gone everywhere…read morewith me. As an avid outdoorsman, I depend on my gear, and my Harsey has never let me down. The craftsmanship, reliability, and attention to detail are second to none. My original knife came with S35VN steel, and after years of hard use it still performs incredibly well. Fast forward to 2026 -- my daughter is graduating high school, and she has always admired "Dad's favorite knife." She's an outdoorswoman herself, so I wanted to get her something meaningful she could carry for years and eventually pass down herself. I found a beautiful Spartan Harsey Folder with the paisley pattern online and called Spartan Blades to place the order. Kim was unbelievably helpful and had the knife turned around in just a few days. When it arrived, I realized it was the smaller version, and I knew my daughter really wanted one like mine. Here's where Spartan Blades proved why they are in a league of their own. I called on a Monday. Graduation was Thursday. Kim immediately went to work, had the correct knife built, personalized with my daughter's initials just like mine was, and shipped it out immediately. It arrived the DAY of graduation. That level of customer service simply does not exist anymore. Not only was the service exceptional, but the new Magnacut steel on her Harsey is incredible. The edge retention and overall performance are a major upgrade and show that Spartan Blades continues to evolve and improve an already world-class product. From the quality of the knives to the people behind the company, Spartan Blades represents everything American manufacturing should be. Knowing the company was founded by retired Green Berets Curtis Iovito and Mark Carey makes the story even better -- these knives are built with purpose, discipline, and uncompromising standards. Spartan Blades doesn't just make knives. They make heirlooms. In my opinion, this is the finest high-end knife company in America, and I will proudly carry Spartan Blades for the rest of my life.

I purchased the Enyo knife some years ago and I have to say the quality is amazing. It has lasted…read moreme through years of service in the military and is still going strong. I just purchased the Phrike in the last week and again, the quality is amazing. The knives are a bit pricey but to get a really good knife that will stand up to rigorous use is worth paying for it. The customer service here is amazing as well. I ordered my knife online and time was taken to write a personal thank you note on the invoice before it was shipped out to me. You can't find places that do this very often. As a veteran I am proud to support a veteran owned business like spartan blades, especially since they make quality cutting tools for everyday use and for combat. I will be bringing my business back to Spartan Blades in the future, and thank you for everything you all do everyday!
