Harsey Defensa Spartan Blades Fixed Knife.

Spartan Blades | Harsey Defense

In 1943, a battle took place in Italy between the American/Canadian First Special Forces and German troops. A daring performance by American and Canadian forces, known as the Battle of Monte la Difensa, was essential to the eventual Allied victory in Italy.

When Canadian Special Forces commissioned Spartan Blades and Master Knifemaker William Harsey to make a blade for them, we knew we wanted to create something special. Our goal was to create a knife that would serve their special forces well for years to come – both in the northern forests of their homeland and on global deployments. The result was the Spartan Harsey Defense, named after the infamous and hard-fought victory achieved by the cooperation of Canadian and American forces.

The name speaks volumes for the excellent all-round use of this tactical knife in the field and on the battlefield. The spear point profile of this handcrafted knife is flat ground, with a beveled top edge that provides excellent point strength, balance of penetration and clean cutting ability.

The Spartan Harsey Difensa’s full grip and handle allow for a neutral balance in the user’s hand. Combined with a textured, ergonomic Micarta canvas handle – modified from our Model II without back knurling – this custom combat knife offers the wielder a comfortable and secure grip wet and dry.
