SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Spartan Pallas Folding Knife Stonewash represents the perfect balance of precision engineering, premium materials, and practical design. Crafted in the USA by Spartan Blades founder Curtis Iovito, this folding knife is built for enthusiasts who appreciate a high-performance blade with smooth operation, secure handling, and versatile deployment. From its robust construction to its refined aesthetics, every aspect of the Pallas is engineered for reliability, longevity, and effortless use.
At the heart of the Pallas is a 3.75-inch drop point blade made from CPM S35VN stainless steel, a premium powder metallurgy steel celebrated for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Heat treated to 61–63 HRC, the blade offers a keen, durable edge that holds up under demanding tasks. The stonewashed finish adds a low-glare, slightly broken-in appearance that conceals wear over time, giving the knife a well-used look that only adds character. Measuring approximately 0.153 inches thick, the blade strikes an ideal balance of strength and precision, ready for both tactical applications and everyday cutting needs.
Deployment is fast and intuitive thanks to the dual opening options. The Pallas features a flipper tab for rapid one-handed operation, while ambidextrous thumb studs provide controlled opening from either side. The alpha bearing pivot system ensures a smooth, consistent blade swing, making every deployment effortless. Once opened, the button lock provides secure, positive lockup while remaining easy to disengage for safe, reliable handling. Spartan Blades’ commitment to precision machining guarantees consistent action and dependable lock performance for years of use.
The handle is made from 6061 aerospace aluminum with a black mil-spec anodized finish, offering a lightweight yet strong frame. Ergonomically contoured, the handle delivers a comfortable grip for extended use without fatigue. Titanium hardware, including the arrow-style pocket clip, provides durability and secure tip-up carry, with reversible options to suit left- or right-handed preferences. The knife measures approximately 8.75 inches overall when open and 5.10 inches closed, making it compact enough for convenient carry while delivering a full-size feel in the hand. Weighing about 4.7–5 ounces, the Pallas maintains an ideal balance between substance and portability.
Every detail of the Spartan Pallas Folding Knife Stonewash reflects Spartan Blades’ dedication to quality and performance. The combination of premium CPM S35VN steel, smooth alpha bearing action, durable anodized aluminum handle, and secure button lock creates a folder that excels in versatility, reliability, and everyday usability. Its refined stonewashed finish not only enhances aesthetics but also ensures the knife maintains its tactical, low-profile look even after repeated use.
