    The knife appears well made BUT it arrived dull. I have bought $20 knives that arrived sharper.

    Excellent Quality FS Style Knife

    Ok for the cost of this item, they did very very well on this one. Wow. Flat ground, broad blade, good stock stickness, good tough hard polymer type handle scales, full tang. Awesome modern version of the Marine Raider Stiletto. I served 4 years in the USMC and where this knife proudly on my belt or chest rig. Do not sleep on these guys.

    Raider Dagger

    Posted by RedBeanie83 on Feb 7th 2023

    This knife is the gateway drug for the quality blades one might expect from Les George and Spartan Blades! I own a 3rd Pattern Sikes Fairbairn dagger from WWII and a Boker V42 and I think the Raiders and Commandos of Allies would have loved this knife. I also love the fact that George recognized that construction of the Raider is done by our allies in Taiwan. The construction is top notch and the sheath, while reminiscent of Cold Steel's SRK is just better built with no gaps and an excellent "snick" when the knife is firmly inserted thanks to a couple notches that secure the hand guard. Sharpness is comparable to the other daggers on the market but I did further sharpen once in hand for further utility. -Make no mistake this is a dagger used for penetration and it will excel at that task, whether piercing soup cans or sentries. Overall this is a great knife at a very fair price.

The Spartan-George Raider was designed by Les George, prolific Knife Maker and former U.S. Marine as an homage to the Legendary United States Marine Corps Raider Stiletto of WW II.  This sleek and durable dagger while holding to the overall design of the original knife takes advantage of a full tang design, injection molded handles, and modern SK5 steel. It is delivered with a knife specific injection molded sheath for a secure carry and protection. This is a dagger that any Marine or soldier would be proud to carry into a dangerous situation or raid

This dagger was designed hilt-heavy to lay in the hand reducing the risk of dropping. It has a double-edged blade with stiletto-sharp tip and diamond-shaped cross section, sharpened on both cutting edges all the way to its the oval cross guard. It has a slender symmetrical grip, with a middle convexity. 

The original stiletto hilts were die-cast using zinc aluminum alloy to create the handle but, over time it was discovered that the zinc ions in this alloy tended to leach out, leaving the casting extremely brittle. a result, more than half of the few Raider stilettos still in existence today have very fine hilt cracks or entire portions of the hilt missing, with pieces having simply flaked off; many more have replacement handles. Therefore, we chose a full tang design with durable injection molded handles.
