The Best!
One of the nicest fixed blades I own, I love the design, balance, and weight, another winner from Harsey (and Spartan). Feels like I can pry a door open with the full tang. It's the one blade I keep by the bedside.

Lasted through many deployments
Always a pleasure to have a close "friend" you can trust! This knife stayed at my side through my deployments to Iraq, and Afghanistan. Until...some douche stole it from me... You never quite get over losing a "friend!" Great build, and craftsmanship...my goto purchase when I want to maje a lifetime investment.

Spartan Harsey Difensa
Amazing fixed blade knife, quality is off the charts and completely worth every penny.

This is my number 2 pick in these blades
I have to admit that I was surprised at the design of the Difensa. The grip is excellent, the blade steel is very high quality, and the thick design makes it incredibly tough. I highly recommend this knife for your combat training.

Next level knives
I have many knives, but this one is in a class by itself. The Difensa is a great sturdy blade made in Magnacut steel for a great balance of edge retention and toughness you won't find in other blade steels. The grip designs are near perfect. Spartan Blades has earned my respect as a knife fighter and collector.

Harsey Difensa
This is one of the best knives I have ever bought. I just recently discovered the Spartan Blades line. I have many knives from many different makers. The Difensa grip is outstanding. It fits perfectly in my hand, the weight is great, the blade length is within the perfect range for a combat knife, and the Magnacut steel is, as of right now, the best balanced steel for toughness, blade retention, and corrosion resistance. Spartan Blades has made me a loyal customer with their elite line of knives. I look forward to buying all of these knives and training with them in the future.

The best Ever Made
I love this knife. It’s the best and the Horkos is the best. They are both my favorites.

Only one regret i have is not buying Difensa way sooner. Photos don’t do justice to this masterpiece. I have many high end knives even with double price tag. But nothing is even close to perfection of this knife. It feels in hand like nothing before
Thank you especially to Ms Kim for outstanding customer service and pure kindness.

Difensa Mag
Company: packed knife appropriately for shipping then shipped knife promptly. Knife: No QC issues. It would be good if spacers were available for a thicker grip. The grip is slightly narrow for my average size hands but that's just me being persnickety. The knife easily takes top spot in my collection.
