Thank you. I had a Spartan / Harsey Hunter for about a year that I sent with a friend who is now working drug interdiction down in the Everglades. It's one of my favorite knives ever, and thus why I sent it with Jimmy. Bill, Curtis, and Mark do up some fantastic knives! Here are a few pics of the Hunter. If no-one minds I'll post more similar pics of the Difensa later.

I dont see this on their website. How long is the blade? I believe this may be my favorite spartan knife so far.

They have not put photos of it up yet. I first got to see it at Blade back at the first of June. The Blade on this one is 6 inches long. It is much like a Hunter with a 1 inch longer blade and flat saber grind rather than a hollow grind. The longer blade gives it a perfect neutral balance, and lets it chop a bit better in a rearward three-finger grip.

It is a fantastic knife. Feels great in hand and handles very well, came with a great edge, and has excellent balance!

I got to handle the Difensa last week and if I didn't already have a Model II, I'd have gone home with one. Though I think I prefer the Difensa a tad better.

I've got to thank Mark and Curtis for their hospitality and attention they gave my son. He is extremely thrilled with the folder that Curt personalized for him. You guys are doing it right, keep it up.

Pics coming soon

I picked up my Difensa last week while passing through town. Amazing knife and great customer service over at Spartan Blades. I will be taking it out on the Ansel Adams trails next month and will be sharing pictures after I put it to work!
