[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Got my Spartan Blade's Enyo...PICS

Posted: 1/5/2014 2:59:37 PM EDT

My Spartan Blade's Enyo arrived yesterday and I finally got around to taking some pictures. First off let me say this is the sharpest knife I've handled. After wrapping the handle with paracord provided with the knife, I found the palm of my left hand had several cuts, I thought I was being careful but still managed to get a few nicks. I tried a few of the paracord wrapping methods I found on youtube but ended up just doing what worked for me. This will be my EDC once I figure out how I want to carry it. Tried neck carry yesterday but not sure how well I liked that. Will try IWB next. Here's a few pics I took. Please excuse my poor knife handle wrapping.

This is how I wrapped mine. I like it.

Nice, I might try a different style but for now this seems to work well. How do you carry yours, neck, IWB or something else?

I carry IWB with the holster shown at 3 o'clock. Just in front of my carry pistol at about 4/5 o'clock.

I have one that I used overseas. Great little knife. Lost the first one and the dudes at Spartan gave me an extra 10% off a new one.

I'm definitely going to buy another Spartan. I want to get the Ares.

This is why you wrap the handle with the knife in the sheath. If the sheath covers too much of the handle, you can tape 2 pieces of cardboard together around the blade.

Nice knife.

Enyo is a fantastic blade, mine has seen substantial use and continues to be carried every single day. Old picture..

Without looking for ways to wrap it, I came up with this.

Sandman,

Why did you wrap your Harsey? Was the Micarta handle not big enough? And please share your impression of the knife; I'm torn between that and a CRK Pacific.

Very nice! The Enyo is the only small fixed blade that makes my pulse increase.

. I'm soooo looking forward to adding one of those to the mix. Those Vets over at Spartan Blades sure do make some good stuff.

I take nothing away from CRK, his products are exceptional. I too considered a Pacific, but went with the Spartan Harsey II, because I liked the blade profile better and the jimping, it's just so rock solid and locks into your hand like a glove.

I've always thought the Enyo was one of the best looking neckers out there, just wish it was about 25% larger.

I think increasing the size would severely degrade its functionality. I tend not to use mine as a utility blade, use as last option type of thing. With that said, I had no issue puncturing through a cars sheet metal roof when the need arose.

I've never even bothered to wrap mine. I'll be sticking it on my war belt soon, but I wish they sold separate Enyo sheaths so I could get extras.

Okuden makes the sheaths, they would probably sell one/

I was set to buy one. Happened to be in a store that had one in stock about a week before I got paid so I asked to see it. I'm glad I did, it just wasn't large enough for me.
