SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for field use and refined for tactical precision, the Spartan Blades Harsey Tactical Trout is a compact, hard-use fixed blade ready for anything from backwoods survival to heavy-duty daily carry. Designed by renowned knifemaker Bill Harsey, this 9" fixed blade features a 4.5" CPM-S45VN stainless steel clip point blade with a black PVD-coated finish for added corrosion resistance and reduced reflectivity.

At 7.62oz, this knife offers plenty of heft without being cumbersome, making it ideal for pack carry or belt-mounted readiness. A tough black nylon sheath provides versatile carry options and keeps the blade secure when not in use.
Made in the USA, the Tactical Trout is built to Spartan Blades' uncompromising standards—purpose-driven, battle-proven, and built to perform wherever the job takes you. Whether you're field dressing game, cutting cordage, or gearing up for a mission, this blade stands ready.
