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.

    Fantastic knife and sheath was perfect. Just understand that this is not a all around knife, but used for self-defense as the name provides. Overall, excellent quality and perfect for the job!

    Exceptional Quality and Craftsmanship

    Published by Andy R on May 15th 2020

    To me, this knife represents the flawless execution of an excellent design. I had high hopes for it based on all the glowing reviews, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. Even the fit and finish on the sheath shows an impressive attention to detail. A utility knife this is not, but if you are looking for a blade for self defense, look no further. Quite frankly, I don't own many other objects that are as obviously well made as the CQB Tool. Knowing they are made about two hours from my house is an added bonus!
