Spartan Blades Horkos FDE/black, with Nylon sheath black - Type SB4DEBKNLBK
In
Greek mythology, Horkos (or-kos) was the personification of the curse
that would befall anyone who broke a sacred oath. The Greeks considered
Horkos to be the demon-protector of honor, and honor was everything to
the ancient Greeks.
The Spartan Horkos custom combat knife was
commissioned by the Combat Weapons Team of the United States Military
Academy in West Point, NY, with custom etching to honor their graduating
class. As all graduates of West Point are defenders of our freedom and
take a sacred oath to protect the U.S. Constitution, we chose Horkos as
the name of this formidable combat knife.
The Horkos is designed
as an excellent all-around combat and utility knife. It’s intended to
see its user through a variety of tough situations, and is crafted with
reliability, durability, and functionality in mind.
