Spartan Blades George V-14 durklas, FDE/Green, Tan Kydex

The Spartan-George V-14 Dagger is Spartan Blades first collaboration with the gifted and prolific knife maker Les George. Daggers have come to symbolize the elite of our military special operations units and intelligence agencies, since the forming of the OSS. We wanted to take a classic profile and improve it with better materials and thoughtful design. A full-tang design along with the 0.25 inch precision ground thickness makes for a very reliable blade. After hollow grinding 4 very symetrical bevels, each blade is vacuum heat treated, double deep cryogenically treated and double tempered to add to edge retention and toughness, thus curing a problem that has plagued past military daggers. The ergonomic and textured handle is specifically designed with comfort and confident grip. The handle is a divergence from tradition as it is oblong with flats on each side to assist in the indexing / use of the knife during hours of limited visibility. This is a real combat dagger!
