Brand new directly from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: Equipped with a two-tone, black DLC coated finish, the Spartan Tanto point dagger has two standard plain cutting edges. The dagger is extra pointy and built from Bohler Elmax, a high performance stainless steel. The center fuller groove is DLC coated bordered by subtle, satin flats the give a pinstripe look. The just over 3 inch blade features a double action opening and retracting mechanism. Simply move the thumb slide on the side of the handle up to deploy and down to retract. An internal spring remains at rest in both the open and closed position to reduce wear. The action is smooth and fast. 

Handle: Smooth, black coated 6061-T6 aluminum creates not only a comfortable feel in-hand but a smooth transition in and out of your pocket. There are several areas of machine-grooved texturing around the outsides aiding in grip. This lighter more ergonomic grip is easy on the hands and eyes. The handle’s construction is completed with Microtech’s proprietary hardware, glass breaker end and black coated pocket clip with individual serial number/date of production and “GXI”. The front side of the handle is complemented by a laser engraved USN Logo. 

Bohler Elmax: Elmax has become an extremely popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its extreme edge retention. Elmax also has a good corrosion resistance, meaning most users can avoid corrosion (rust) by simply wiping off their blade after each use. Another great feature of this steel is its ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Elmax has very similar performance to M390 and is used interchangeably by Microtech.
