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Originally made for USSOC's SOC-P Program
The Spartan CQB Tool is a mission-ready close quarters battle companion forged from battlefield insight, engineered for speed, precision, and reliability. Compact, durable, and designed for fast deployment, it is a testament to Spartan Blades’ commitment to excellence.
Very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. This is more than a functional tool for your kit, it is knife art.
I previously had a benchmade SOCP, the Spartan CQB Tool is FAR superior. The steel is much better, the finish is superior, the knife out of the box was sharp, tool machining is superior, the edges are nicely beveled whereas the BM version they are edgy and unfinished. The sheath is superior as well. I carry mine IWB with two belt loops in a canted vertical position at left appendix opposite to my carry gun. Don't go a day without carrying this now. Where the SOCP feels like it was stamped and painted by a 12 year old kid at a press the Spartan Blades CQB tool feels like a quality blade. This blade belongs and will stay right next to my Emersons and Striders.
Spartan Blades CQB Tool was my first Spartan Blade in an attempt to add some new gear and replace some old gear. Beautiful craftsmanship, sweet design, a functional gtf off me tool. Multiple orders impending.
I wear this gem horizontally on my left hip, ring to the inside making for a quick acquisition in an emergency. Fantastic design .. a LOT of thought went into making this knife. I can't recommend this highly enough if you're looking for something to ward off an attack close in, allowing you time to access your primary weapon.
In a tight spot. This will get you out. Great workmanship.
If it functions and holds up as well as it looks, and I have no doubt that it will, I've made a great purchase. Good job guys.
The quality & sturdiness of this cqb tool is outstanding. The user will feel confident in its use knowing its deadly capabilities. The craftsmanship of this tool is unparalleled & evident. Spartan blades are made to do the job when it's needed. De oppresso liber.
The Spartan CQB is my third Spartan knife. I can never say enough about Spartan Blades. As always, the quality is obvious right off the bat. I showed my 14 year old son the knife (without telling him the brand). He knew right away that it was a Spartan. He loves my other Spartan's and recognized the finish and commented on the clean lines. As usual, my biggest problem is figuring out which one to get next!
Tool has a good clean look and is light weight in your hand. It fits in your hand easily and penetration is awesome (tried it on a melon). Durability looks like it should last a lifetime.
Awesome product! High quality also. Got a personal note with product which was pretty cool too. Keep up the good work. I will be buying more blades from Spartan Blades.
