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.

    Spartan CQB Tool

    This is my third or fourth Spartan Blade. I carried one overseas and have no idea why I waited so long to get this one. It's the perfect "get off me" blade.

    I was disappointed that Benchmade changed their discounts for military and first responders. As a result, the SOCP was ridiculously expensive. Spartan's ACB tool is the perfect alternative for $100 less. I am delighted with the weight, feel, and appearance. It is a gift for my son in Texas DPS

    CQB

    Excellent fit and finish. Sheath is amazing and retains the blade at just the right amount of tension. It won’t fall out hiking or running, but accessible if needed. No yanking on it . Razor sharp in my test cuts. This is the first of three of my Spartan Blades. American made is the cherry on top. .

    Better steel and quality for the same price!

    Published by A Non on Sep 18th 2023

    If you know what this is for then you know there is a cheaper quality option out there. Spartan goes the extra mile and has the best customer support! Shout out to big Jake in the back for hooking me up with a single edge version I can carry in my state. Buy this one over the other one!
