- This is a review of the Honshu Spartan Sword distributed by United Cutlery. It has a full-tang, 16 1/2” 7Cr13 stainless steel blade, which features a blood groove. TPR injection handle is tough and grippy with finger grooves and a textured pattern, plus, it has a lanyard hole. 23” overall length. This blade can be purchased on Amazon, Bud k, and many other websites. This is my very first video. I will get better at it. Thanks for watching.
WARNING! For those of you interested in this blade please watch my update video.

This vid shows that my tests are not fake! I put all my blades through valid tests to show the strengths and weaknesses.
The Honshu Spartan Sword failed but not were you might expect. Thank you all.
Glad u showed that blade...I just got a budk catolog and I'm thinking bout getting one...now that u showed it is a good blade...thank u sir
I saw your other video where this blade didn’t do so well ,but I still like it for what you spoke about in regards to it’s design, it’s a good combat blade.
Sold! GREAT test... Thanks!!!
I believe u broke this blade in another video, lol. Very entertaining first video bro.
Sold me on it. Thanks for review.
Please watch my machete vid before you pull the trigger on this blade. It will be uploaded today.
Thanks man, I've been debating on getting this for a while.
I still use it and it is still holding up. I am going to do a machete shootout soon and even though this is considered a sword I am going to use it in the video. Thanks for watching!
Waiting for that machete shootout, like to see how this compares to a kukri too. Nice channel.
Screech me to just ordered one.
Would love too see a test with the combat commander spartan sword
I’ve been looking for some to to do a proper test on these weapons! Thank god it’s not just paper
Actually I was impressed by this test! It wasn’t a water bottle test like others do! I may pull the trigger on it now, but I’m waiting till they get their D2 version back in.
I'm curious about the d2 tool metal version, will plan on working it.
Is the d2 version out yet.?? Finally were able to pick up a cane sword after years of being sold out
👍👍👍Cool Test
Was thinking of getting the other combat commander spartan sword because it’s roughly half the price of this one right now but thinking the $85 for this one is well worth it
love those no BS and no water bottle just-cut-hard-thing videos
Time traveler here, you'll break that puppy on that very table in three years, sorry but I had to do it!!!!!
Nice lookin knife
Is there any significance between this blade and the D2 blade version from HongShu
Has anyone sampled the D2 of this blade?
I own this sword. It's a great shortsword, but it has its drawbacks.
Here's what I like about it: It looks great, and is intimidating to any would-be opponent. That's important. It IS mucho sharp, right out of the box. Nothing feels cheap about it, and everything, from handle to guard, to the tip of the blade, is solid. I am sure it will keep a decent edge and is as tough as it is depicted in this video. The leather sheath/scabbard it comes in is of very decent quality, although worthless for a fast draw. The lanyard hole in the handle is a huge, and I would even say, necessary, plus.
What I don't particularly like about it (and what's not shown in this video): It feels heavy and unwieldy for its size. The balance point on the sword is about 1/3 up the blade. That makes it a good chopper, but hard on the wrist in active defense or thrusting. This point-heavy aspect, plus the extreme sharpness and design of the blade make it somewhat dangerous for the user. It is not difficult to imagine, for example, the handle slipping accidentally from your hand and the point of this thing going right through your foot. Also, fast-draw with extreme caution, unless you want to visit the emergency room! Lastly, the blade is made out of 7Cr13 stainless steel, which is a high-carbon Chinese steel, often used in making knives and certain pieces of equipment. It is resistant to corrosion and very strong, but I have to wonder, because of the geometry of this sword's blade, if it might be likely to chip or splinter under certain conditions.
The bottom line is this is an excellent weapon for the price, but by all means, treat it with respect and don't be an idiot with it.
I am glad you have given this added information. It definitely goes beyond what I showed in this video. I know this type of stainless can be brittle and this short sword should not be used like I used it in this demonstration. I just wanted to see what this weapon could take under semi-extreme conditions... and I think it did quite well. Thank you for your in depth response. So glad you shared.
@@fit4knives882 Thank you. Great video!
Hpnshu are ok, I like their combat commander line better. Great content though brother.
I need to check that one out. Thank you.
@@fit4knives882 no problem. May want to steer clear of the "jungle toothpick" though. Kind of sucks but the gladius etc are all cool.
No wonder it broke. I want one
Very informative video 👍👌Do you think this is a good blade for self defense against intruders if guns are illegal?
Personally, I have it in my home for that very reason. I have many swords, and this one I keep by my bed. One thing this video doesn't really go into is the puncturing capability of this sword. I ran mine through a cardboard box the other day with so little effort it shocked me. Bear in mind, though, that a weapon like this is effective, or safe, in direct proportion to the skill of its user. A couple of other notes: For self-defense purposes, you might find the Cold Steel Gladius Machete to be a better option. Check it out. It draws faster, is significantly cheaper, more balanced, and is practically indestructible. In comparing the Honshu Spartan sword to an actual ancient Greek kopis, you see that the kopis had a sort of hooked section at the base of the handle in order to ensure that it did not slip from the hand of the person wielding it. Wave the Honshu around a few times and you will see why its historical inspiration had that additional necessary feature. In any case, a paracord lanyard is highly recommended.
The only draw back to this blade is the sheath imo. It is a split sheath so its a bit slow on the draw because of the snaps that hold it in. If it were kept unsheathed and near you in a situation where you needed it I would say it would be very lethal indeed. Be careful though any miss swing could be very harmful to you. As John Bridges said a lanyard would be ideal. God forbid you ever need to use it for self defense but if you do this blade is a beast with a razors edge! Thanks for the comment and for watching my friend.
I also bought it for self defense. Got cheap machete but it wouldn't stop someone as quick as this sword.
Any blade is only as good as the hand that wields it. Be honest with yourself, have you ever really fought with a blade like your life depended on it? Are you really sure you are going to be better than anyone that might attack you? I used to teach self defence in the Guardian Angels, one thing we would always stress, knife fights get very messy, very quickly, and a scalpel blade in the wrong place will kill you as quick as a katana. Best tip for surviving a knife fight?
DON'T GET INTO ONE!
@@christopherdean1326 Valid points. So what would you advise as a self defense weapon at home against intruders in countries where guns aren't allowed?
Why you gotta be so rude to that beauty
I finally got to test mine and it's a piece of shit. I just put 3 swings into old dry rotted wood and it destroyed my blade. Cracked on one massive dent, stress fracture on a second massive dent and broke the edge off about 2inches from the tip 🤦♂️
It's made for chopping meat sacks, not wood. You wanna chop logs..get an axe...
It's a sword not an axe dumbass, try slicing meat with a hammer
So I was just cutting weeds acedtly hit my Mammoth sunflower bent the crap out of the whole blade it folded.. I believe it's called. Biggest pile of crap ide ever. Seen
