SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Spartan Blades CQB Tool Black is a compact, purpose-driven fixed blade designed for serious performance in high-stakes environments. Built from a single piece of 154CM stainless steel, it delivers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and edge retention in a streamlined platform that won’t slow you down. The 2.87-inch dagger blade provides balanced penetration capability with a symmetrical profile that’s optimized for control and precision.
A durable black PVD coating enhances wear resistance while reducing glare, giving the tool a low-profile finish that stands up to demanding use. Full tang construction ensures structural integrity throughout the entire design, reinforcing strength from tip to ring. There’s no unnecessary complexity here—just solid materials shaped into a reliable instrument.
The integrated finger ring supports a secure grip and enables a lightning-fast draw from the included Kydex sheath. That sheath holds the tool firmly in place, yet allows smooth, consistent deployment when it counts. At 6.93 inches overall and weighing just 2.01 ounces, the CQB Tool carries easily as part of a professional kit or personal loadout without adding bulk.
Designed by Greg Thompson, this model reflects a deep understanding of close-quarters utility and defensive readiness. It’s proudly made in the USA, built with the precision and quality standards expected from American craftsmanship.
