Forged from the heritage of its namesake, the Spartan Blades Ares Fixed Blade is a combat-proven tool designed to serve the most demanding professionals. Inspired by Ares—the Greek god of war—this knife is built with a singular purpose: to dominate in both the field and the fight. Whether you're on active duty, deployed in harsh terrain, or simply demanding the best from your tools, the Ares is engineered to deliver uncompromising performance in any situation. The Ares features a 5.375-inch drop point blade crafted from premium CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, chosen for its outstanding toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The blade's geometry places the point in line with the user's hand, offering powerful thrusting control while maintaining an aggressive cutting curve. At 0.187 inches thick and hardened to 61–63 HRC, the blade is robust enough for both combat and utility applications. Finished in Flat Dark Earth SpartaCoat PVD, it resists reflection and wear alike. Its full tang construction is matched with CE Canvas Micarta handle scales in rugged green, offering reliable grip in wet, dirty, or gloved hands. Balanced and lightweight at just 6.75 ounces (0.422 lbs), the Ares offers exceptional maneuverability without sacrificing durability. The ergonomic profile and finger groove allow for instinctive indexing and confident control in high-stress environments.
Designed by Curtis Iovito and Mark Carey, both founders of Spartan Blades, the Ares reflects firsthand experience with U.S. Special Operations Forces. It’s no surprise that this blade is carried and trusted by elite military units across the globe. Each Ares includes a custom-molded Kydex sheath compatible with MOLLE mounting and supplied with a paracord lanyard, ensuring secure and accessible carry options whether you're on a plate carrier, belt, or pack. Proudly made in the USA, the Spartan Ares represents the highest standards of American craftsmanship, precision machining, and battlefield reliability. It's more than a blade—it's a mission-ready tool made to serve and endure. Get this combat tool from Spartan Blades at SMKW!
