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.
Originally made for USSOC's SOC-P Program

Very nice; a great buy all the way around! Kimberly in their customer service did a great job to ensure all was as I wanted; a great personal touch, if you're sick of the big manufacturer's lack of service. They added an unexpected discount for retired mil/LE. The blade is a perfect edc anywhere, but especially in hot & humid coastal SC. Light as a feather & disappears carried IWB. Jake perfectly ground my blade sharp all the way back on one side & dull on the other, to comply with blade laws in most places. The sheath is a cut above, but you'll want to attach a clip of your choice for IWB carry. This is the knife you'll have on you in shorts & a t- shirt, when it's too hot for anything else. For the slight price difference, you'll never be sorry for buying this over the mass-produced factory knives of similiar design. Always a pleasure to support fellow Vets @ Spartan Blades, I highly recommend them!
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
Overall, fantastic.
Great feel look and quality. Fast shipping, good and pointy, should do the job!
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. .
The knife is as described and of sound quality. Worth the price for a tool that could save your life.
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!
Very good & easy carry & access
Fantastic product. My ECC at work or relaxing.
