Spartan Ares — Fighter / Combat Utility Knife
Inspired by the raw power of Ares, the god of war, the Spartan Ares is a purpose-built combat and utility knife engineered for modern operators and serious collectors alike. Developed with decades of knife-making expertise and input from U.S. Special Operations practitioners, the Ares blends battlefield-proven design with premium materials to deliver a reliably lethal, mission-ready tool.
Designed for the demands of combat and utility use, the Spartan Ares offers a balanced, lightweight profile that excels in both hard-use tasks and precise control work. Its fixed drop-point blade geometry delivers strength at the tip while maintaining an efficient cutting curve — ideal for tactical breaching, field tasks, and close-quarters applications. Finished with durable SpartaCoat® PVD coatings and fitted with rugged CE Canvas Micarta® handles, the Ares is built to perform and endure.
The Spartan Ares is the embodiment of warrior craftsmanship — a precision-engineered, mission-ready fighter/utility knife designed for operators and collectors who demand excellence. Built for combat, utility, and enduring performance, the Ares is the ultimate testament to Spartan Blades’ legacy of quality
Every Spartan knife feels purpose-built — no gimmicks, just precision. Their MagnaCut lineup especially shows how tactical design can meet real-world performance.
This is an excellent blade to carry for self defense. Many knives you can buy off of other platforms are made with cheaper steals. You will see them made with D2, Elmax, 8Cr13MoV, VG10, etc. While being good steels for various purposes, I love the fact that Spartan Blades upgraded these pro grade blades to Magnacut steel that has a great balance of edge retention and toughness that other steels don't have. The design of the Ares Fighter where the blade is tilted forward gives it an aggressive profile built for knife fighting. I typically wear a large glove size and this knife fits like it was made for my hand. This is probably my third favorite knife I have ever owned. The first two ranked blades are also Spartan blade knives. For anyone that is getting into combat knife fighting or has been in the community for any length of time, I highly recommend this knife being a part of your collection, not just for the aesthetic beauty of the blade, but for the applicable use of this blade in a the worst of situations.
Shipping was super fast. The knife feels great in the hand and came in perfect condition.
This knife is well made, fits perfect for my hand size large. Well balanced, feels quick to maneuver different strikes when using as an offensive/defensive tool. Have not used it as a field tool yet but it feels like it will handle the mission nicely.
The Green Berets will forever be my heroes. To own a knife made and designed by them is a dream come true.
Another outstanding knife from Spartan Blades that I have purchased.
매우 아름다운 외모, 무서운 능력, 아레스의 찌르기는 두려울 정도로 효과가 높습니다.
The Ares knife is a nimble self defense blade. Lightweight and comfortable and in the hand. Perfect for the urban survivor or soldier looking for a solid fighting blade.
Amazing knife love the angles and the mikarta and color
A little dissapointed with quality control for this level of knife. It arrived with damage to metal as well as poor finish quality that is not up to the standard. Big fan of Spartan Blades. Not sure how this one made it out of the factory in this condition.
