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.

    The Best

    Published by Edward Shattuck on Oct 22nd 2024

    I buy no other knives. The people at Spartan are the best and you can't buy a higher quality blade. I wasn't certain what to expect when I received the dagger but it was great. The grip is much better than I imagined and the balance seems to be rearward. This is a great investment.

    Very Impressed

    I wasn't sure of the quality of this blade until I got it in my hand. It seems to balance rearward and the handle is very grippy. It was quite a pleasant surprise as I wasn't certain of the quality when I ordered it. I was wrong and I should have known better.

    This a solid knife. Out of the box super sharp and well bulit. Only reason it is not 5 stars is it not American made.

    Not what I expected

    Published by Craig on Jun 13th 2024

    The quality looks average and the knife looks much better on line than in real life. It looks like it might not hold up to field use. I might change my mind after I use it, but for now, the knife should have been half the cost of what I paid.

    A great dagger to add to your collection

    Bought this dagger from another website. Sharp at both edges, easy to deploy out and put back into the sheath. Compared to the V14, it is, in my opinion, equal to the George Raider dagger. A must have to your collection. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Greetings from Norway.
