But beginning in 2019, Spartan Blades was purchased by KA-BAR and expanded their product line to include the more affordable Field Grade models. Spartan Elite and Pro models are manufactured in the USA, but their Field Grade line is made in Taiwan.

They are making time to head to the range, polishing discipline and practicing concentration while spending time with real friends. Here’s a quick look at the growing trend.
