The spartan difensa is a fantastic knife, very well made, high quality, super comfortable micarta grips, my only concern was not with the knife but the kydex sheath, when I received the knife and went to pull it out if the sheath I had to pull with everything I had to get it out , way too tight and there doesn’t seem to be a way to loosen it up, I’ve owned many knives and have never had one that tight before, also the sheath is so tight that it leaves scuff mark on my new knife, not good. I still gave the knife itself 5 stars but the sheath is a quality sheath bit extremely tight fit
Just received my Spartan Difensa today to add to my collection. It is very high quality and I like it alot. It should last more than my lifetime and be passed on to my heirs. I plan on acquiring a Spartan George V14 Combat Dagger as well.
What can I really say? I mean, just try picking up a Harsey Difensa, 'nough said.
Top quality.
Excellent fit and finish on this knife. Razor sharp and very sturdy blade. The Kydex sheath was way too tight, but Kimberly at Spartan sent me a replacement that is perfect. Outstanding product and outstanding customer service. I am really happy with this purchase.
This knife has it all for me. Great knife steel; comfortable and well designed handle, not-too-big and not-too-small size; great blade geometry; very sharp...tough. A pleasure to use and carry. I look forward to many year's use.
outstanding craftmanship
Great fit and finish on knife. Getting to be a Spartan fan boy. Fifth Spartan blade I have purchased. Quality comparable to some of the best custom makers. The Difensa is one of the best all around camp/survival/general purpose fixed blades on the market regardless of price.
