SPARTAN HARSEY DIFENSA
Great knife! Nice size, handle is very comfortable. Great profile, and scary sharp! My only suggestion would be to add some jimping on the spine. When you choke up using index finger indent at the choil it would add to the control for fine work.

As a machinist/fabricator I appreciate the flawless build quality of every aspect of this tool. The balance and fit in the hand are perfect for me as well.

Spartan Difensa
I was expecting a good knife out of the box, but this blew away my expectations. The workmanship was excellent. Blade wicked sharp. This is a knife I could bet my life on. I am awaiting on the Harsey folder in SVN45 next!

I Love Holding This Thing!
I haven’t made it into the backcountry with it yet so these are my first impressions. I’m 47 years old and have had a knife on my hip practically my whole life. That being said, this is by far my favourite knife of all time. I won’t go into long details about the lines, weight, balance, and grip, I’ll simply tell you this knife feels amazing in your hands! It really just becomes an extension of yourself. It feels like it has some life to it, it hums. Why 4 and not 5 stars then? What could have been a perfect knife (and at this price point it damn well should be) was ruined by how poorly the knife’s edge/grind was applied. From tip to heel you’ll get 2mm at one end thinning down to 1mm at the other. This unevenness flips on the reverse side. The result is an asymmetrical tip that I will eventually have to balance out. Truly disappointing in that regard but if I had to leave my house today, and was only allowed to keep one of my personal possessions, I’d take my Difensa.

About a week after the knife arrived I was on a plane to teach a Jungle survival course. This was going to be a great test of the blade. The Spartan Harsey Difensa knife perform exceptionally well on the jungle tasks. Including shelter construction, bamboo fire saw, snares and firewood gathering. The knife fits my hand which made easy to cut and chop on hardwoods and softwood as well as Bamboo. I have used 100’s of knives in my career and the Harsey Difensa knife is the winner. Exceptionally sharp and ready for any tasks.
