Spartan Blades Difensa FDE / Black - Tan Nylon - MagnaCut

This Spartan Blades Difensa in FDE blade and tan MOLLE sheath takes its name from the 1943 Battle of Monte la Difensa in Italy, a defining moment for the First Special Service Force. The 6.25-inch CPM MagnaCut blade has a SpartaCoat PVD finish in flat dark earth that provides a matte, non-reflective surface. The 3D-machined black canvas micarta handles deliver a very positive grip that Harsey refined through decades of professional collaboration.

The FDE and tan colorway gives this Difensa a desert-ready aesthetic while maintaining the same combat-grade construction as the black version. The spear point blade geometry provides penetrating capability along with enough cutting edge for serious field utility. The tan MOLLE sheath attaches to plate carriers and tactical belts for secure, accessible carry in the field.

Designed by knifemaker William Harsey Jr. with Spartan Blades and Canadian special forces, the Difensa puts CPM MagnaCut into a purpose-built combat and field knife. The SpartaCoat PVD coating adds durability and corrosion protection beyond what bare MagnaCut already offers. Spartan Blades founders Mark Carey and Curtis Iovito brought decades of Green Beret field experience to every detail. Made in the USA.
