Spartan Blades CQB Close Battle Combat Tool Fixed Blade Knife FDE Flat Dark Earth SB9DE

The Spartan Blades CQB Tool in Flat Dark Earth delivers the same compact performance and uncompromising construction, now finished in a tactical earth tone that blends durability with a distinctive appearance. Precision machined from a single piece of 154CM stainless steel, this fixed blade is built for strength, corrosion resistance, and dependable edge retention in demanding environments. Its 2.87-inch dagger profile offers balanced geometry, giving you controlled penetration capability and confident handling in close-quarters applications.

The Flat Dark Earth finish replaces the traditional black coating, providing a refined, low-reflective surface that stands up to wear while offering a unique visual signature. It’s applied to enhance durability and maintain a professional, field-ready look. Full tang construction runs through the entire design, ensuring maximum structural integrity and eliminating weak points. This is a tool engineered for reliability, not excess.

A prominent finger ring allows for secure indexing and rapid deployment, enabling a lightning-fast draw from the included Kydex sheath. The sheath retains the tool firmly during carry, yet releases smoothly when needed. At 6.93 inches overall and weighing just 2.01 ounces, the CQB Tool remains exceptionally compact and easy to integrate into a kit, vest, or everyday loadout.

Designed by Greg Thompson, this model reflects thoughtful attention to real-world functionality and close-quarters efficiency. It’s proudly made in the USA, built with strict standards and dependable craftsmanship.
