ZEUS

The ZEUS is 10.5" of 3rd Generation LaTrobe Dura Tech 20CV powdered metallurgy. It is hand-ground with a handmade dual-layer self-draining G10 DRED handle and custom sheath. Ceramic coated.

 

When we designed the Zeus knife and cut the first one and ground it, fired it at 2100 degrees and handled the finished product, we had no idea that this perfectly balanced knife had been made before. After all, we used some suggestions from Special Operations folks to improve upon the already excellent qualities of our CQBT series below.

 

Then we saw it as decoration in an ancient piece of artwork. Our new ZEUS Z1 is not new at all. It is literally the same design as the Spartan "Xiphos" - one of the weapons used at Thermopylae.

 

The ZEUS combat knife essentially marks the return of the Spartan Xiphos to the battlefield.

 

If you want the ultimate combat knife for yourself or a family member - and especially a troop in the field today, there is simply nothing else like the Zeus knife available to modern troops - anywhere.

 

That is because, at DS&S, we make gear for legends.
