Spartan CQB Tool – Close Quarters Battle Companion
Engineered for speed, retention, and lethal efficiency, the Spartan CQB Tool is a purpose-built ring dagger designed for Close Quarters Battle (CQB) and transition work. Compact and slim, it stows easily behind front pouches or magazines on MOLLE/PALS platforms, or on the belt/IWB for rapid access. The included Kydex sheath is contoured to the ring form for lightning-fast draw and re-stow in high-stress environments.
Developed in collaboration with Greg Thompson, founder of H2H/Team ROC, Curtis Iovito, Mark Carey, and a former Special Forces unit at USAJFKSWCS, the CQB Tool is shaped by battlefield experience. This tool is designed as a “transition tool”—a slim, fast-deploying implement intended to break grips, gain control, and quickly return to the primary weapon system. Built from proven materials and treated for battlefield durability, it blends functional design with tactical practicality into a mission-ready package.

The Spartan CQB Tool is a mission-ready close quarters battle companion forged from battlefield insight, engineered for speed, precision, and reliability. Compact, durable, and designed for fast deployment, it is a testament to Spartan Blades’ commitment to excellence.
The edges is only sharpened for 40% of the blade. For a pure stab this might be adequate, and the operative word is 'adequate', this is a premium product. I expected more. Sharpen 80% of the blade length and you have a winner. Not in it's current spec.
This is the 3rd one I have bought and they are wonderful tools. Kept one for myself and the other two are gifts for friends. Thank you for your efforts.
I love this knife. The grip in the hand, the length of the blade and the fact it is a 154CM steel make it a top of the line self defense tool. I love the fact it is a double edged blade making it more versatile in slashing in both directions. Fantastic blade. Thank you Spartan Blades.
I love anything Spartan knives makes!! It’s top of line Quality!!
Great product. Perfect finish and well balanced. Sheath is top quality as well.
lightweight very comfortable in my hand. easily concealable. well built. walk with confidence.
I'm not an expert using a CQB Tool, so this is what I see. The point is sharp, very sharp and has a small dagger edge to about 1/3 of the blade. I don't see any need to sharpen it at all, since it's appears more worthy of stabbing or a thrust at a pointed weapon. It's extremely light weight. I made a necklace from para chord 550 and I wear it around my neck on top of my chest. It is easy to deploy. I may buy another, since I'm carrying it everyday.
Tool with blade....
Very well made. Nice fit in hand
I owned the cheaper version from another company a few years back and although it was serviceable I gave it away. This is very well made and definitely a keeper. It’s my second Spartan to date.
