Spartan Blades KA-BARHistoric designwith Magnacut bladewith Kydex or leather sheathThe storyLet me take you into the world of: Spartan Blades KA-BAR - A tribute to history and at the same time a step into the future.
Featuring a historic design and a Magnacut blade, this knife gives you the choice of a Kydex or leather sheath.
The story begins on December 9, 1942, in the middle of World War II. KA-BAR submitted a knife to the U.S. Marine Corps, hoping it would gain wide recognition in that military branch. Working with the Marine Quartermaster Department, the original design was revised and production began on an improved combat and utility knife for the Marines.
As the war wore on, the United States Marine Corps (USMC) KA-BAR knives gained such a reputation for quality and were produced in such quantities that "KA-BAR" became synonymous with this knife design - regardless of whether the knife was actually produced at the KA-BAR factory.
The USMC KA-BAR was valued and used not only by the Marines, but also by the Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Underwater Demolition Teams.
Decades after the end of World War II, the KA-BAR knife remained a preferred choice for soldiers serving in global conflicts around the world. In 2019, KA-Bar expanded its horizons and mergedwith Spartan Blades, LLC to form Pineland Cutlery, Inc.
Under the leadership of John Stitt, the CEO of KA-Bar and Pineland Cutlery, the desire to create a version of the renowned "KA-BAR" knife that features increased edge retention, ruggedness and corrosion resistance was born. During the development and research phase, a metallurgist named Dr. Larrin Thomas came across a particle-based metal that offered just the improvements he was looking for. This steel, known as CPM MagnaCut®, was exactly what this new knife needed.
So experience a symbiosis of tradition and innovation with the Spartan Blades KA-BAR..

Spartan Blades Alala - Silver Grade Silver Grade = middle price segment, with 1095 Cro-Van steel (powder coated and manufactured by KA-BAR with plastic sheath (injection molded), with thumb lever Micarta handle scales Absolute beginnerLooking for an ultra sturdy, compact fixed that just works? Spartan Blades has created the Silver line thanks to the cooperation with KA-BAR. The goal is to offer knives in a lower price segment that meet the high quality standards of the manufacturer.
The Alala is the smallest fixed in this series and is intended as a rather compact all-round knife.
Whether for use on a hike, hunt, or a larger outdoor adventure, the Alala cuts a fine figure in almost any scenario.
While the Gold Series knives are produced primarily from powder metallurgy steels, the Alalader uses 1095 tool steel.
This low-alloy steel takes on an incredible sharpness that can be restored with the simplest of means.
By the way, this steel is produced in Germany, while the knives are made directly at KA-BAR in the USA.
The handle scales made of heavily textured canvas micarta offer you a very secure handling of the knife, which is further supported by the pronounced thumb ramp. The black powder coating on the blade gives the Alala a more tactical look, just like you know it from Spartan Blades.
Together with the plastic sheath, you get a super user with the Alala, which literally screams to be allowed to work really hard.
Spartan Blades Harsey DifensaS45VN steelWith Kydex sheath 3D milled micarta handle scalesBill Harsey DesignThe flagshipThe Difensa is THE knife among the fixed from Spartan Blades.This collaboration of Spartan and knifemaking legend Bill Harsey has it all - externally but also historically.The origin of this mighty fixed goes back to a commission from the Canadian Special Forces units. Spartan Blades were asked to design a knife that would serve this unit both in urban environments and in the deep forests of Canada.The result is a massive, almost 29 cm long fixed blade that weighs 330 grams and fits securely in the hand.
The flat ground blade made of CMP S45VN runs to a nasty point, which thanks to a long swedge looks a little more racy.To prevent reflections from appearing on the blade, a choice of brown or black PVD coating has been applied.
This type of finish is very thin, but at the same time incredibly abrasion resistant.Really spectacular is the handle of the Difensa: here you get a fabulously good hand position!
The 3D-milled, screwed Micarta handle scales lie very securely in the hand thanks to the structuring of the surface, so that you do not run the risk of slipping even during harder work in the forest. So that you do not slide on the blade during a thrust movement with the hand, wasdeder handle designed so that a kind of guard is formed in front of the cutting edge.The continuous tang provides maximum stability for the entire construction.So that no misunderstandings arise here: the Spartan Blades Difensa is NOT a practical, compact EDC fixed. Here you get rather the opposite: an ultra-massive, large, tactical-oriented knife that still performs mercilessly even under the most adverse conditions. The name, by the way, is a good indication of the orientation of this knife.
History nerds take note: "Difensa" refers to the victory of the Canadian Special Forces over the German troops in the Second World War in Italy.
This decisive battle went down in history as the "Battle for Monte la Difensa".
The Difensa comes with an initially very tight ( = secure) Kydex sheath. This is intentional: the knife should sit absolutely tight and secure so that there is no play even over a long period of use. Simply carry and use the knife a few times - the Kydex loosens a little, but still remains tight enough.

Das KleineWie ein Difensa nur in ganz klein. Geht nicht? Geht doch!Ok, natürlich bekommst du hier kein ausgewachsenes Fighter-Messer.

Der Griff wurde so konzipiert, dass das Enyo auch bei größeren Händen immer noch bequem als Drei-Finger-Messer genutzt werden kann. Durch ein Lanyard kannst du den Griff auch noch ein wenigverlängern. Für das Design ist übrigens Firmenchef Curtis Lovito persönlich verantwortlich.Das Enyo ist die perfekte Ergänzung zu einem der größeren Spartan Blades. Während Modelle wiedas Difensa, das Morkos oder das Horos für die richtig groben Arbeiten zuständig sind, kann dasEnyo dort punkten, wo die großen Messer zu sperrig oder einfach unangebracht sind.

Spartan Blades Harsey Nessmuk - Silver GradeBill Harsey DesignMade in USA (by KA-BAR)Spartan Blades and Bill Harsey Jr. have collaborated to launch their latest knife model: the Spartan-Harsey Nessmuk. The design of the Spartan-Harsey Nessmuk is based on a classic American design made famous by George Washington Sears (1821-1890), as well as the more moderate ergonomic designs of William W. Harsey Jr.
George Washington Sears was taught by a member of the Narragansett (indigenous people) called Nessmuk and learned from him the skills he needed to survive in the wilderness.He later adopted Nessmuk's name as a pseudonym and wrote many letters to Forest and Steam magazine under the name "Nessmuk" popularizing canoeing, the lakes of the Adirondack, and self-guided canoe trips. He preached the wonder of wilderness and warned of its potential destruction by man and progress. Sears wrote more than 90 articles for the magazine, teaching readers in blunt prose how to survive in nature and the importance of conserving natural resources. His book Woodcraft was a great success and his articles "The Log of the Bucktail" also became popular. The magazine published a collection of his poems called Forest Runes in 1886. Sears was an experienced outdoorsman and understood that nature can be harsh and that the skilled woodsman must accept the realities of nature. Made in Olean, New York, in collaboration with the talented staff of KA-BAR knives.

Whether you need to prepare a small meal in the field or carve somewood for a campfire, all of these tasks are easily accomplished with the Phrike.From a purely visual standpoint, this knife is also based on classic American fighter designs,although the design signature of Spartan chief Curtis Lovito cannot be overlooked. The thumb rampand the very long swedge, in conjunction with the PVD coating, give the Phirke a tacticool look.The Phrike is part of Spartan Blades' Gold Series.

One size smallerNo question: the Difensa is certainly one of the coolest fixed blades that are currently available. Butit's also a huge hunk. If you're looking for a similarly tacticool knife, but would like to take it downa notch in terms of size, then the Tactical Trout would be a good choice. The design and aestheticsof this knife go in a very similar direction to its big brother: coated, tapered blade, a super securehandle with screw-down micarta handle scales, and an ultra-tactical design by Bill Harsey.The Tactical Trout is meant to be an all-rounder: whether it's a great EDC fixed, do-it-all outdoorand hunting knife, or a tool for tactical use, the TT handles all of these tasks with flying colors.Besides the all-black version, you also get a variant with a FDE (Flat Dark Earth) coating andblack/brown Micarta scales.Like all Spartan Blades Fixed, the TT also comes with a very tight (=secure) Kydex sheath, which"plays in" with the second something.
