Knife Spartan — KA-BAR

Combat fixed blade knife — simple design, reliable in the field.

The KA-BAR Spartan is a classic fixed blade combat knife in the KA-BAR lineup, designed for real-world field use: simple, robust, and comfortable in combat and for utility tasks.

Description:

The Spartan is a "no surprises" knife, intentionally designed for use under stress: full tang, a combat-shaped blade (clip/drop point), clear working geometry for cutting, stabbing, and chopping, and a non-slip textured handle. The knife is designed to withstand repeated loads, impacts, and aggressive use – what a modern fighter expects from their cold weapon.

Specifications:

• Type: fixed blade knife, full-tang

• Blade shape: Clip / Drop point — universal combat geometry

• Blade steel: 1095 Cro-Van (carbon 1095 with alloying elements) — KA-BAR classic: easy to resharpen, excellent edge retention, high impact strength

• Blade finish: stonewash / satin (depends on the release) — for reduced glare and corrosion visibility

• Blade length: ≈ 7" (≈17.8 cm) — combat size for a wide range of tasks

• Overall length: ≈ 11.5–12" (≈29–30 cm)

• Handle: ergonomic, made of non-slip polymer/thermoplastic material or variants with leather washers in a classic design

• Lock/retention: full-tang construction — maximum strength, no articulated joints

• Sheath: rigid sheath (Kydex / leather) for combat retention and quick access

• Color: tactical black / stonewash blade + dark handle (variants depending on the edition)

Advantages for combat and field tasks

• Reliability under stress: Full-tang construction — operation without risk of joint breakage.

• Versatility: blade for chopping, cutting, stripping, and surgical operations in the field.

• Easy maintenance: 1095 steel is easy to sharpen and cuts in the field; quick edge touch-up if needed.

• Tactical compatibility: low glare and reliable sheaths for belt or gear carry.

• Durability: minimum complex elements — maximum resources in field conditions.

Recommendations for use:

• To maintain corrosion resistance, regularly clean and lubricate the blade — carbon steel is more vulnerable to rust than stainless steel.

• Practice draw/grip techniques and compact carrying — proper sheath fit minimizes injuries and speeds up access.

• Use the knife as a tool: cutting rope, preparing camp, processing ammunition — but avoid using it as a levering tool (corkscrew, crowbar) to prevent overloading the blade.

Order the KA-BAR Spartan — a combat knife proven by simplicity and reliability. Ideal for special forces, tactical instructors, hunters, and anyone who needs an uncompromising work tool. Add to cart, choose sheath option, and get a reliable cold weapon ready for the mission.
