I'm first assuming you mean DID as the spartan empire was effectively disbanded around 192 BC (correct me if i'm wrong Greece!) And, I will also note, the movie "300" is a very poor representation of Spartans. Yes, they were taken from their mothers at 7, and taken to the Agoge which forced them to steal, fight, and trained them to become excellent warriors, yes the babies were discarded if they were deformed, and they did hate the Athenians. But the rest of the movie is largely inaccurate. To answer your question, if they were in the Agoge they would have probably used any stone "knives" they could make, or sharpened sticks for spears, or weapons stolen from any guards or leaders. (for which they would have been badly punished).
