Spartan Field Grade Talos…….in CST-XHP…….is this knife any good?

Published: 2 years ago

*from BladeHQ,com:

Similar in design to the incredibly popular Harsey, the Talos features the same rugged build quality, but is part of the Field Grade line. That means it's built with excellent materials, and every bit as tough as a Spartan knife, but comes in at a steal of a deal. This one features a stonewashed CTS-XHP blade and a black G-10 handle.
Each of Spartan Blades' Bronze (Field) Grade folders features their Oil Infused Bronze Bushing System (OIBBS). The OIBBS boasts sintered bronze bushings that are impregnated with oil, reducing friction and providing tight—yet buttery smooth—pivot action.

G-10 handle with recessed steel liners
