Spartan Blades and William Harsey collaborated to create a knife specifically designed for the Canadian special operations force. This knife, called the Difensa fixed blade, is versatile and suitable for use in the rugged north woods of Canada as well as on global deployments. The handle of this model is made of black micarta, while the blade has a flat dark earth color.
The Difensa fixed blade is named after the renowned battle fought by the Canadian and US First Special Service Force during World War II in Italy. It is an exceptional choice for various field or battlefield applications. The blade features a spear point profile that is flat ground, with a tapered top edge. This design ensures a sharp cutting edge, excellent tip strength, and balanced penetration.
The Difensa knife has a full tang construction, meaning the blade extends throughout the entire handle for enhanced durability. The handle itself is made of ergonomic and textured canvas Micarta, which has been modified from the Model II. This handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, whether the user's hands are wet or dry.
