Why Choose the Spartan Mini Real Damascus OTF?
OTF speed, one-hand control: Straight-track deployment and secure lockup for instant readiness (where legal).
Real Damascus blade: Genuine pattern-welded steel creates unique flowing lines—no two blades are exactly alike—while delivering a keen, durable working edge.
Do-it-all geometry: The drop point gives you a centered tip and generous belly for clean slicing, notching, and light pierce tasks.
Pocketable leverage: 2.75" blade + 4.25" handle = precise control without pocket bulk—ideal for daily carry.
Modern, low-glare aesthetic: The black alloy frame keeps things sleek and professional while letting the Damascus pattern take center stage.
Legal note: OTF/automatic knives are regulated in many jurisdictions. Know and follow your local laws before purchase, carry, or use.

How to Get the Most from Your Spartan Mini
Sharpen smart: Maintain a consistent angle along the drop-point belly and toward the tip; finish with a light strop to refine the edge.
Protect the blade: Wipe dry after use; apply a thin coat of oil before long-term storage—especially in humid climates—to highlight the Damascus pattern and resist oxidation.
Keep the action clean: Blow out lint/debris periodically; add one small drop of quality lubricant to the OTF internals—avoid over-oiling.
Use responsibly: It’s a cutting tool—avoid prying or twisting to preserve the tip and mechanism.

FAQs
Q: Is this real Damascus or a printed/etched look?
A: This model uses real, pattern-welded Damascus steel—the layered lines are integral to the blade, not just a surface graphic.
Q: How do I care for a Damascus blade?
A: Keep it clean and dry, apply a thin oil film before storage, and avoid harsh abrasives that could dull the visual contrast of the pattern.
Q: Is it suitable for food prep?
A: For light tasks, yes. Wipe thoroughly before/after food contact and avoid prolonged exposure to acidic residues.
Q: Any special care for OTF knives?
A: Keep the mechanism clean and lightly lubricated; minimize exposure to grit/sand and avoid firing the blade against hard objects.
Q: Is the blade double-edged?
A: No—this is a drop-point plain edge (single cutting edge). Always confirm local compliance before carry.
