Steel River Knives SpartanMini 2.75" OTF Tanto Damascus Blade with Black Aluminum Zinc Alloy Handle$41.16
Availability: In Stock
The Steel River Knives SpartanMini is a compact out-of-the-front (OTF) knife built for shooters, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts who want serious cutting capability in a pocket-friendly package. With a 2.75-inch damascus tanto blade and a 4.25-inch handle, this is a working knife that doesn't demand much space—ideal for a truck, range bag, or pack. The damascus blade gives you both visual character and a reputation for edge retention, while the black aluminum-zinc alloy handle keeps things light and corrosion-resistant. Whether you're processing game, camp work, or everyday carry with purpose, the SpartanMini delivers a no-nonsense design without the bulk.
OTF knives have long been favored by those who need one-handed deployment and reliable, quick access. The SpartanMini's tanto profile—with its angular tip and reinforced edge geometry—excels at piercing and slicing tasks common in field work. The combination of damascus steel and anodized aluminum handles is a time-proven pairing: beautiful enough to keep, tough enough to actually use.
At 6.75 inches overall, the SpartanMini stays compact enough for EDC or pack carry, but the 4.25-inch handle gives you substantial grip even in heavier gloves. The black finish is practical too—no reflective shine at the range or in camp. If you want a damascus OTF that earns its place in rotation without hogging pocket real estate, the SpartanMini is worth a closer look.
| Blade Length | 2.75 inches |
| Blade Material | Damascus steel |
| Blade Shape | Tanto (plain edge) |
| Handle Length | 4.25 inches |
| Handle Material | Black aluminum-zinc alloy |
| Overall Length | 6.75 inches |
| Deployment Type | Out-of-the-front (OTF) |
| Model | MT616BRDAMT |
An out-of-the-front (OTF) knife deploys by pushing a button or lever, which shoots the blade forward from the handle. Unlike a folding knife, there's no manual opening—it's one-handed operation. The blade stays fixed in the extended position and retracts back into the handle when you press the release. This makes OTF knives quick to access and convenient when your other hand is occupied.
Yes, the SpartanMini features a real damascus steel blade. Damascus steel is known for good edge retention and attractive watered-steel patterns. The exact edge life will depend on what you cut, but damascus is a solid choice for field work and processing tasks.
The handle is constructed from black aluminum-zinc alloy, which resists corrosion and is significantly lighter than steel. Aluminum-zinc alloy is a reliable, practical material for outdoor and marine environments where moisture exposure is common.
At 6.75 inches overall with a 2.75-inch blade, the SpartanMini is compact enough for everyday carry in a pocket or sheath, and small enough to pack without adding significant bulk. It's large enough to handle real cutting tasks, making it a good compromise between portability and utility.
