On December 9, 1942, during the Second World War, KA-BAR presented a knife to the United States Marine Corps in the hope of it becoming the standard weapon. In collaboration with the Marine Supply Department, the project was revised and the production of an improved combat and utility knife began.

During the war, USMC KA-BAR knives became so renowned for their quality and abundance that "KABAR" became the common name. It was adopted by the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Underwater Demolition Teams. Years later, many KA-BAR knives were reactivated in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2019, KA-Bar joined forces with Spartan Blades to establish Pineland Cutlery. CEO John Stitt aimed to create a "KA-BAR" with enhanced strength, robustness, and corrosion resistance. During development, metallurgist Larrin Thomas identified CPM MagnaCut® steel with the desired qualities.

CPM MagnaCut® is a sintered high-carbon steel produced by Crucible Industries and specially designed for blades. Spartan Blades developed the Spartan-KA-BAR using CNC machining, cryogenic treatment, and PVD coatings.

Nicolai Lilin, a Russian writer, of Siberian origin, designed  Reactor in memory of the operation of the Russian navy special forces in 2010, near the coast of Somalia, when in 22 minutes two operational corps of the marines rescued from the pirates a kidnapped  merchantile ship   that was carrying oil. On that occasion the militaries could not use firearms to prevent the ship from exploding, so they only used knives. They caught 30 terrorists in 22 minutes. It was a unique operation in the history of international special departments. Reactor is dedicated to all special forces that use white weapons.

This small titanium folder is the result of a desire by Spartan Blade to produce a high quality slip joint folder using as few small moving parts as possible. While attending the 2012 IWA Show in Germany, we spoke with several people who simply couldn’t own one of our larger folders due to the restrictions of knives with locks, one handed opening, and long blades. During the show, Mark and Curtis were visiting the Nuremburg Toy Museum and were impressed by some of the very small high-tech mechanisms used to make toys. It was then the idea hit them to make a slip joint that didn’t require several small fine blanked parts, allowing for a more modern look and function than the classic slipjoint. Now they had a great idea but not the full mechanism to make it work.

Later, Spartan met with Les Halpern of Halpern Titanium and explained their idea for a small modern slip joint. He became very excited as he had an idea for a similar knife using what he called “A good idea” for a mechanism. Les did some drawings explaining his idea for eliminating the traditional back spring. Normally, slip joint blades are held in position by a strong "back spring" which assists them with bias to the open or closed position. Les’ idea was to make the frame the spring with the same bias in open or closed position.

This folder eliminates the need for a back spring by using what we call an “Integral Frame Slipjoint”, the dorsal side of the frame is cut to work as a spring and holds a pin that creates a bias to close and open. The blade is opened by pushing on the tab on the blade (it is not a flipper tab!) with one hand and pulling with the thumb and forefinger on the triangle cut-out of the opposite side and hand. Additionally, the pin "locks" into the blade when held firmly by the users thumb and forefinger in in position of use but is free to rotate upon release of the frame handle.

Notes: WINNER - BLADE 2014 Most Innovative American Made Knife of the Year

Designed by David Repossini, instructor of Krav-Maga with decades of experience in martial arts and combat systems in the military, was founded with the purpose of joining a blade with a survival for the fight, trying to be more effective than high knives already in business. The result is the model Outlander, a tool that can be picked up and handled in six major ways and making it adaptable to different contexts.

It is effective both for heavy work, such as cutting of a branch, is for precision work, such as making out to light the campfire. In combattimentoè well balanced, maneggevle and forms that make it effective is to strike or engage, and to achieve the most sensitive parts in extension.

The variety of grips allows feasible to do many different techniques of combat systems also bringing together elements typical of the kukri and karambit.
