Blade made of CPM Magnacut steel
The blade of this Spartan Blades Clandestina, Gold – Elite Grade is made of CPM Magnacut steel, possibly the most revolutionary steel of the 21st century. MagnaCut offers an unrivalled balance between sharpness retention, toughness, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. Since the release of CPM MagnaCut in 2021, it has become one of the most popular steels in the world of knives. The MagnaCut blade of this pocket knife measures 14 cm in length.

History of CPM Magnacut
This type of steel was developed by Dr Larrin Thomas, a metallurgist who has dedicated his career to improving knife steel. He is the son of Devin Thomas, a famous damascus smith who supplied Chris Reeve Knives with steel for many years. Dr Larrin Thomas works in the automotive industry but is passionate about knife steels. He thought it should be possible to do better, and together with Crucible Industries came up with CPM MagnaCut.

The blade is finished with a DLC coating, which stands for ‘Diamond Like Carbon’. It’s a very hard coating that is even harder than the steel. This makes DLC very scratch-resistant, and this coating protects the blade against corrosion. DLC is very hard, but it is also only a thin layer: eventually, you will always see signs of use.

About Spartan Blades
Spartan Blades produces outstanding pocket knives and fixed-blade knives. Years of military experience, American craftsmanship and top-quality American materials come together in every Spartan knife. These knives are designed and built for people who truly need to rely on their tools. Made by veterans: people who know exactly what you need when it really matters.

The minds behind Spartan Blades are Curtis Iovito and Mark Carey, both former members of the US Special Forces with over 40 years of combined experience in the American military. While still in service, Iovito was already making knives for his fellow Special Forces operatives. After their time in the military, both men went into the tactical gear business. At some point, they realised that their military background, passion for knives and business acumen made a perfect combination. And so, in 2008, Spartan Blades was born. Since then, the pair have won several major awards and continue to build on their success story every day.
