Spartan Blades Phrike Green G10 Knife, Flat Dark Earth ZrN MagnaCut by Curtis Iovito and Mark Carey (SB17DEGRKYTN)
The Spartan Blades Phrike SB17DEGRKYTN is a slim fixed-blade knife designed by Curtis V. Iovito and Mark Carey with a focus on a lightweight, durable, and functional design. The Swedged Drop Point blade with MagnaCut, green G10 grips, and a full tang create a compact, low-profile knife designed for comfortable carry and everyday use.
The blade is 107.95 mm long, features a flat grind, and has a Flat Dark Earth ZrN finish. The zirconium nitride-based coating gives the surface its distinctive color and provides additional protection for the steel, while the slim G10 handle keeps the knife compact without sacrificing the full-tang construction.
MagnaCut – steel with very high corrosion resistance
MagnaCut combines very high corrosion resistance with good toughness and long-lasting sharpness. In the Phrike, it has a hardness range of 61–63 HRC, making it well-suited for practical applications where a durable cutting edge and high resistance to environmental conditions are essential.
Swedged Drop Point, Flat, and Flat Dark Earth ZrN
The Swedged Drop Point profile provides a functional tip and a versatile edge line, while the flat grind supports efficient cutting. The zirconium nitride (ZrN)-based coating gives the blade a Flat Dark Earth finish and creates an additional protective layer on the steel’s surface.
Green G10 and Full Tang Construction
The green G10 grips are mounted on a full tang, keeping the handle slim while providing solid support for the knife’s rigid construction. The knife comes with a Tan Kydex sheath designed for IWB carry.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for MagnaCut steel?
MagnaCut is highly corrosion-resistant, but it’s a good idea to clean and dry the blade after use. Regular maintenance helps preserve both the edge and the appearance of the ZrN coating.
How do you sharpen CPM MagnaCut?
It’s best to use diamond or ceramic stones, or a sharpening guide system. Due to its high abrasion resistance, sharpening may take longer than with simpler stainless steels.
What sharpening angle should be used?
The manufacturer does not specify a single mandatory sharpening angle for Phrike. The safest approach is to restore the factory edge geometry or adjust the angle to suit your own usage.
What is the ZrN coating?
ZrN is zirconium nitride used as a hard surface coating. In this model, it provides the Flat Dark Earth finish and additional protection for the blade surface.
What sheath is included in the set?
The set includes a Tan-colored Kydex sheath designed for IWB carry. Its form-fitting design stabilizes the knife and allows for convenient access during everyday carry.
