The Spartan Blades Machai is an impressive cutting tool whose name fits its function perfectly. Inspired by Greek myths, it represents the daemons (spirits) of battle and conflict. With a robust construction, a sharp recurve profile and a flat-ground blade, the Machai makes an excellent versatile wood chopper.
The design is by Curtis Iovito and was crafted by the talented folks at KA-BAR Knives in Olean, NY, USA. The quality and precision of the Machai are reflected in its dimensions: with an overall length of 29.8 cm and a blade length of 16.8 cm, it offers an appropriate size for a variety of tasks. The 4.7 mm thick blade is made of 1095 Cro-Van steel of German origin and features a hardness of 56-58 HRC. Thanks to the black powder coating, the blade is not only visually appealing but also protected against corrosion and wear.
The Machai has a full-tang construction and an ergonomic handle made of textured canvas micarta. This handle provides excellent balance and sits securely in the user's hand in both wet and dry conditions.

Spartan Blades impresses knife enthusiasts with high-quality, unique pocket knives and fixed tactical knives. The sturdy knives always come in a wide variety of designs with top workmanship and a good choice of materials. Instead of stainless steel and 420, you get real performance for your money here: from Japanese AUS-8 steel to 1095 Cro-Van to powder metallurgical CPM steel and MagnaCut, everything is included! The company was founded by retired US Army Special Forces Mark Carey and Curtis Iovito. With an unrivaled expertise that comes from 40+ years of professional experience, the two designed and manufactured their first custom knives while still in the military. In 2008, they recognized their potential and decided to produce tactical and outdoor knives on a larger scale. Spartan Blades was born.
The beginnings were spent making knives in an old pre-war barn, and the customer base consisted of friends, acquaintances, old colleagues and absolute knife fans. Today, the still young company can look back on a number of successes and awards won by Spartan Blades with its unusual ideas and excellent designs. The company now delivers worldwide and produces at several locations.
The grading of the knives in the different classes is also definitely interesting:
The Elite Grade with the golden logo only features knives that are actually still made in Southern Pines, North Carolina. They are equipped with the most exclusive materials and will knock the socks off any knife connoisseur.
The Pro Grade with the silver logo are produced in collaboration with Ka-Bar under Pineland Cutlery. Also “Proudly Made in USA” and also high quality, sturdy knives that are not afraid of any outdoor work.
The field grade, underlined by the bronze logo, is suitable for all knife fans who do not have such an open budget. Production takes place abroad. This means that the knives can be offered at a lower price. Despite the good prices, cheap material has not been used here: AUS 8 and CTS-XHP steel are used as well as G10 or carbon fiber.
Whether you are a collector, bushcrafter or blade enthusiast, a Spartan Blades knife is the right choice for everyone!
