In 1943, a battle was fought between the U.S. / Canadian First Special Service Force and German troops in Italy. Known as the Battle for Monte la Difensa, the courageous performance of U.S. and Canadian forces here was essential to the eventual Allied victory in Italy.
When the Canadian special forces commissioned Spartan Blades and master knifemaker William Harsey to produce a blade for them, they wanted to create something special. Their goal was to craft a knife that would serve the special forces well in the years to come, both in the northern woods of their homeland and on worldwide deployments alike. The result was the Spartan Harsey Difensa.
The name speaks to this custom tactical knife’s excellent all-around field use. The spear point profile of this handcrafted knife is flat ground, with a tapered top edge that makes for excellent tip strength, balance, and sheer cutting ability. This knife could be the centrepiece of your collection.
The full tang and handle of the Spartan Harsey Difensa allow for a neutral balance in the user’s hand. Combined with the textured, ergonomic canvas Micarta handle modified from the Model II with no rear jimping This custom knife offers the user a comfortable, confident grip whether wet or dry.
