New neck knife by Spartan Blades
Hey all,
Mcarey and I have had many requests for a neck knife over the last few months so we decided to do one. We finished up the design, some solid modeling and are planning for manufacture to be completed in May some time.
The plan is to offer it in three colors Black, Green, and Flat Dark Earth. Additionally, it will come with a quality kydex sheath from Okuden.
We would welcome your guys thoughts on this one as we haven't gone into production yet. We may be adding a type of depression to the front of the blade in order to help the kydex sheath "grasp" better.
We are pretty jazzed about this one 
Please see the attached PDF. (Yeah I know you can take the man out of the Army but you can't take away the .PPT skills)....LOL

Curt-
Looks good, in a familiar kind of way...
I'll test it for you while sailing...

Good looking blade. The single lanyard hole and widely spaced cut outs in the handle will make cord wrapping it a bitch, though.

Curt,
I don't understand why you would need to do this (but then again I don't design knives, just use them). I like the knife, just put me down for one and tell me when and where to send the money.

I'd imagine "civilian compromise" is not a consideration for your "knifes with intent" and that America's bravest are better off for it. But this is great news for those of us who can't carry a fixed blade of over 3 inches (w/o a permit->NY).

Eric,
We will have tham at Blade. We should put them up on our site and get the word out to our current dealers just before Blade.

I'm not an expert....except maybe with a scalpel....but rather than produce a knife that is so similiar to others already on the market, why not follow your theme of a different blade style like your Ares. Seems to be a great reverse grip knife and a smaller "neck knife" with the same functionality seems to make sense.
just my 2 cents ....from a complete amateur when it comes to these types of knives. I have a PS.com knife and yours would be "same but different' but in a market that has 5-6 similiar designs already, you may want to change the game alittle???

Kyex sheath
G,
Yep your right!! We decided not to go with the dimple in the blade. We are going going to run the kydex up to the first hole in the blade to ensure that the sheath retains the kydex. Good call!!!

Enyo design
Swatsureon,
Thanks for the feedback. Actually, I was trying to make the knife look similar to Ares and different from most of the others out there...LOL My intent was to avoid another neck knife with a bunch of holes in it.
Anyway, I hear you loud and clear.
Thanks again for your thoughts brother

Bring some to OKC in Eugene too, I need to look at them. I should have the cha-ching for a nice Ares...
I think Mr H could be persuaded to bring his knife signing machine with him - so you guys can scratch up the blade for me.
