CQB Tool

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.
