Spartan Blades George V-14 black/black, with Kydex sheath black - Type SB27BKBKKYBK
WINNER - BLADE 2014 Collaboration Knife of the Year
The Spartan-George V14 Dagger is Spartan Blades’ first collaboration with the gifted and prolific knifemaker Les George.
Beginning
with the formation of the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) following
the end of World War 2, daggers have come to symbolize the most elite of
our military special operations units and intelligence agencies. With
the Spartan-George V-14 Dagger, our goal was to create a custom combat
knife that improved upon a classic profile with better materials and a
more thoughtful design.
The V-14 features a full-tang design
combined with a 0.25 inch precision ground thickness, making for a very
reliable blade. Each of these handcrafted combat knives is first hollow
ground with four symmetrical bevels, then vacuum heat treated, double
deep cryogenically treated and double tempered. The end result is added
edge retention and toughness, thus fixing the classic durability problem
that has plagued military combat daggers in the past.
In
addition to an extremely high quality blade, the Spartan-Georgie V-14
combat dagger features an ergonomic and textured handle specifically
designed for maximum comfort and a confident grip. This is where we
opted to diverge from tradition, choosing an oblong handle with flats on
each side to assist in the indexing and use of the knife during times
of limited visibility. Simply put, this is a true combat dagger!
