Spartan Blades V14 Dagger Knives - Design by Les George

The Spartan Blades Les George V14 Dagger brings custom knife craftsmanship to a production price point through the collaboration between Spartan Blades and renowned custom knifemaker Les George. The V14 won the 2014 BLADE Show Collaboration Knife of the Year award.

The V14 is a true double-edged dagger with a 6-inch blade optimized for penetration and defensive cutting. Unlike utility-focused knives that happen to have two edges, the V14 was designed from inception as a combat dagger. Blade geometry, handle ergonomics, and overall balance all serve that singular purpose.

Les George brings more than 30 years of knifemaking experience and over a decade of service in the United States Marine Corps to his designs. He served as a Senior Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician and EOD Team Leader in Iraq, where he oversaw more than 300 EOD responses and rendered safe over 100 improvised explosive devices. His deployments took him to Iraq, South Korea, Thailand, Peru, Mozambique, and dozens of other locations worldwide. George designs knives based on how tools actually get used in the field, not how they look in a catalog. That real-world perspective shows in every detail of the V14.

The V14 features premium stainless steel construction with SpartaCoat PVD finishes in Black or Flat Dark Earth. The handle is oblong with flats on each side to assist indexing during low-visibility situations.

Available in Black/Black, FDE/Black, and FDE/Green configurations, the V14 offers serious collectors and practitioners a precision combat dagger with custom DNA at an accessible price point. KnifeArt carries it because collaborations like this represent the best of both worlds: production consistency with custom-level design thinking.
