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.

Very impressed by the workmanship and quality of thes tool. Had many compliments from friends and family. Thank you, Spartan Blades.
Great design weapon shared by a great warrior Tu Lam. Thank you for your service.
Absolutely the best enclosed self-defense weapon that I have come across I have been with the martial arts for 45 years and hold a 7th degree ranking. I would recommend this cqb tool to anyone
I've been looking for a good knife that could be easily deployed with my weak hand and not be too cumbersome. This fits that role perfectly. I can carry it horizontally on my weak side, and draw with either hand easily. It's also got a training blade, making the system easy to work in to current practice/training scenarios.
I have heard for years that Spartan Blades are some of the best out there. And being an Army veteran, I had heard of this design. The tool is constructed perfectly, has great weight and sharpness. And fits perfectly to my rig as well as casual civilian clothes. I knew this was the perfect choice for me. And I have not been disappointed. I will be a returning customer for years to come.
Outstanding, perfectly made and ready for use. Balanced perfectly and the sheath is top of the line. This is one of the top 3 knives I have ever owned. 2 of my top 3 are from Spartan Blades. Anything they make is the absolute best. This CQB Tool is no exception. If you are looking for your next EDC / load out / any out multi purpose and functioning blade then order this piece of art work.
This knife is pretty vicious. Comes needle sharp at the end. PVD coating is excellent. The sheath is very tight initially and needs broken in. You really have to rip at it to get it out of the sheath. I bought this to go on my armor ... but after handling it a bit I kinda want to get another for EDC so I wont have to remove it constantly. At fist glance it seems very small ... but it fits in the hand quite well, is lightweight, and concealable. It doesnt get in the way of my grip of my two main weapons at all when held during firing (P226 and AR). Compliments the loadout nicely.
I have just begun the journey of tools, and their ancestry. The Spartan CQB tool is light weight and slim. The sheath lashes consistently in cadence with my beltline. The synchronicity of tool and sheath operate fluidly. The sheath and tool have a very subtle locked, to unlocked operation allowing for stealth or explosive unsheathing. I have no weapons training. I am a gardener that enjoys a quality cut by a superior tool. Thank you for your dedicated hours to your skilled craft. Steven Thomas
Nice blade construction and functionality. Very quick to deploy with practice and training.
Gonna have to get one for my boys.
