Spartan Blades Pandia Flipper - Ronin Five Rings - Damascus

The Spartan Ronin Five Rings FIRE is the first release in the Spartan-Ronin Five Rings Project, a collaboration between Spartan Blades and Tu Lam of Ronin Tactics built on the Pandia titanium-framed flipper folding knife. Inspired by The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi, FIRE embodies decisive engagement, closing distance, taking initiative, and controlling rhythm. Made in the USA, this is the first in a five-knife series inspired by Musashi's elements: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Void.

Larry Connelley of KnifeArt.com: "This has all of the smooth flipper action of the standard Pandia with a limited edition handle and a stainless damascus blade. The laser and anodized handle really kicks this knife up several levels. The anodized pattern looks better in hand when you move the handle in the light."

The 3.25-inch spear point blade features a high flat grind in Chad Nichols Stainless Damascus. This American-made Damascus steel is known for its beauty, clean forged pattern, and stainless steel qualities. The high flat grind enhances slicing performance for smooth, precise cuts with minimal effort, while a thoughtfully placed sharpening choil helps ensure the edge can be maintained over time. Overall length is 8.25 inches.

The 6AL4V titanium handle delivers exceptional strength in a thin, lightweight form at just 4 ounces. The titanium frame features an image of Tu Lam portrayed as a stylized samurai in a modern context, a tribute to the enduring warrior ethos. A precision 3D-machined titanium pocket clip integrates seamlessly into the handle, preserving the Pandia's clean, uninterrupted silhouette. Deployment runs on IKBS bearings for quick, precise blade engagement via the flipper tab.
