Spartan Blades

On December 9, 1942, during the Second World War, KA-BAR presented a knife to the United States Marine Corps hoping it would become the standard weapon. In collaboration with the Marine Supply Department, the project was revised, and production began on an improved combat and utility knife.

During the war, USMC KA-BAR knives gained such recognition for their quality and abundance that "KABAR" became the common name. It was adopted by the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Underwater Demolition Teams. Years later, many KA-BAR knives were reactivated in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2019, KA-Bar partnered with Spartan Blades to form Pineland Cutlery. CEO John Stitt aimed to create a "KA-BAR" with improved strength, robustness, and corrosion resistance. During development, metallurgist Larrin Thomas identified CPM MagnaCut® steel with the desired qualities.

CPM MagnaCut® is a sintered high-carbon steel produced by Crucible Industries and specifically designed for blades. Spartan Blades developed the Spartan-KA-BAR using CNC machining, cryogenic treatment, and PVD coatings.

Produced in Olean, NY, in collaboration with the skilled people at KA-BAR knives, the Spartan-Harsey Fighter is born from the partnership between William W. Harsey Jr. and Spartan Blades. The intention behind this knife was to combine the blade of a US military combat/utility knife with the contoured handle that has become a hallmark of Mr. Harsey's designs. This knife is a no-nonsense combat blade.

The Spartan-Ronin Shōtō is a folding karambit knife with a liner lock. This blade is the result of a collaborative effort between Spartan Blades and TU Lam of Ronin Tactics, our former Special Forces colleague and dear friend.

Having worked throughout Asia and in Indonesia, both Tu Lam and Spartan hold a great respect for the Karambit style. This blade was designed to be incorporated into various martial arts systems.

It features a blade made of CTS-XHP, "Emerson Wave" function for easy opening, and a reversible pocket clip for left-hand carry; the black and red G10 grips ensure a secure grip. Please check this link to Ronin Tactics HERE.

All our Bronze (Field) grade folding knives incorporate our new "Oil Infused Bronze Bearing System" or “OIBBS”. Our sintered bronze bearings are oil-impregnated, thereby reducing friction on the blade, offering you a tight but smooth blade opening.

Produced in Olean, NY, in collaboration with the skilled people at KA-BAR knives, the design of the Spartan-Harsey Nessmuk is based on a classic American concept popularized by George Washington Sears (1821-1890) and the more moderate ergonomic designs of William W. Harsey Jr.

Under the guidance of a Native American from the Narragansett tribe named Nessmuk, George Washington Sears embraced the natural world, learning survival skills. Sears adopted "Nessmuk," meaning "wood duck," as his pseudonym, reflecting his love for forest life. Writing as "Nessmuk," he contributed to Forest and Stream magazine in the 1880s, promoting canoeing, the Adirondack lakes, and environmentalism.

Sears' diverse experiences led to his writings on the wonders of nature and conservation. He advocated minimalism: lighting fires, setting up tents, and more. He emphasized respect for nature, leading to a call for conservation.

Sears authored "Woodcraft" (1884), offering practical advice and introspection. The "Log of the Bucktail" series and poetry followed. Illness couldn't weaken his love for nature. He passed away in 1890, with Nessmuk's legacy enduring in Wellsboro.

A supporter of thin and sharp knives, Sears' ideals are reflected in our Nessmuk design.

Produced in Olean, NY, in collaboration with the skilled people at KA-BAR knives, the Spartan-Harsey Kukri knife has been designed to be a highly durable hiking knife. The kukri features a blade of over 22cm, making it an all-around tool due to its center of mass, allowing the user to slice while cutting to even penetrate thick objects.

While this blade is primarily famous for its military use, the kukri is more commonly employed as a multi-purpose tool in fields and homes across Nepal. Its uses range from construction, clearing, cutting firewood, digging, butchering animals for food, slicing meat and vegetables, skinning animals, to opening cans.

It can function as a smaller knife using the narrower part of the blade closer to the handle. The heavier and wider end of the blade, towards the tip, functions as a hatchet or a small shovel.

Notes: Design by William Harsey

In 1943 a battle was fought between the U.S. and Canadian First Special Service Force and German troops in Italy. Known as the Battle of Monte la Difensa, the courageous performance of the U.S. and Canadian forces on this occasion was essential to the final Allied victory in Italy.

When Canadian Special Forces commissioned Spartan Blades and master cutler William Harsey to produce a blade for them, we knew we wanted to create something special. Our goal was to create a knife that would serve the Special Forces for years to come, both in the northern woods of their homeland and in missions around the world. The result was the Spartan Harsey Difensa, named after the infamous and hard-fought victory achieved through cooperation between Canadian and U.S. forces.

The name refers to the excellent use of this custom tactical knife in the field and on the battlefield. The spearhead profile of this handcrafted knife is flat, with a tapered top edge that provides excellent tip strength, balanced penetration, and cutting power.

The full tang and handle of the Spartan Harsey Difensa allow for neutral balance in the user's hand. Combined with the ergonomic Micarta canvas handle, modified from our Model II, with no rear joints, this custom combat knife provides the griper with a comfortable and secure grip in both dry and wet conditions.

After more than 40 years of service in the U.S. Army Special Forces, Curtis Iovito and Mark Carey founded Spartan Blades LLC in North Carolina. Curtis, who had already been designing and drawing knives for his friends in the Special Forces for years, and Mark, who had always been involved in military and tactical equipment when he served in the "Green Berets," decide to combine their skills and passion with the goal of building innovative and functional knives using the highest quality materials and made entirely in the United States.

This small titanium folder is the result of a desire by Spartan Blade to produce a high quality slip joint folder using as few small moving parts as possible. While attending the 2012 IWA Show in Germany, we spoke with several people who simply couldn’t own one of our larger folders due to the restrictions of knives with locks, one handed opening, and long blades. During the show, Mark and Curtis were visiting the Nuremburg Toy Museum and were impressed by some of the very small high-tech mechanisms used to make toys. It was then the idea hit them to make a slip joint that didn’t require several small fine blanked parts, allowing for a more modern look and function than the classic slipjoint. Now they had a great idea but not the full mechanism to make it work.

Later, Spartan met with Les Halpern of Halpern Titanium and explained their idea for a small modern slip joint. He became very excited as he had an idea for a similar knife using what he called “A good idea” for a mechanism. Les did some drawings explaining his idea for eliminating the traditional back spring. Normally, slip joint blades are held in position by a strong "back spring" which assists them with bias to the open or closed position. Les’ idea was to make the frame the spring with the same bias in open or closed position.

This folder eliminates the need for a back spring by using what we call an “Integral Frame Slipjoint”, the dorsal side of the frame is cut to work as a spring and holds a pin that creates a bias to close and open. The blade is opened by pushing on the tab on the blade (it is not a flipper tab!) with one hand and pulling with the thumb and forefinger on the triangle cut-out of the opposite side and hand. Additionally, the pin "locks" into the blade when held firmly by the users thumb and forefinger in in position of use but is free to rotate upon release of the frame handle.

Daggers have come to symbolize the elite of our military special operations units and agencies since the forming of the OSS. In that spirit, we worked with Kim to create a fighter/dagger that could be used while conducting missions on the modern battle field.
The blade allows for deep penetration, all while allowing the user to index the blade by touch and feel. The ergonomic and textured micarta handle is specifically designed with comfort and confidence in of grip.
Note: Double edge may be ordered with an unsharpened on top edge to comply with some state and/or local laws, please insure you follow the laws of your state and locality when ordering this knife.
