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.

    Spartan Difensa

    Posted by Jez on 31st Jan 2025

    I bought one of these because a William Harsey designed knife is always very nice indeed to hold, the contours of the grip have been very well thought out and crafted. The quality of the engineering of the knife is second to none, and on the battlefield would be a perfect tool for the job. Mine is purely for my collection, it will never be used in anger but I noticed that several special forces personnel had them strapped to themselves as they boarded planes going to the middle east, if I were still in the military I would take it with me. The balance of the knife is perfect as is the blade, and the grip being so secure makes it very easy to use, whether for woodsman activities or anything else. ***************** £500 you are paying for the superb engineering, which gives me great satisfaction, as having been involved in engineering I really appreciate the quality level of the skill involved. If this is what you want from a knife - quality, then I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. Highly recommended.
