Description

The Spartan-George Raider was designed by Les George, a prolific Knife Maker and former U.S. Marine as an homage to the Legendary United States Marine Corps Raider Stiletto of WW II.  This sleek and durable dagger while holding to the overall design of the original knife takes advantage of a full tang design, injection molded handles, modern SK5 steel. It is delivered with a knife specific injection molded sheath for a secure carry and protection. This is a dagger that any Marine or soldier would be proud to carry into a dangerous situation or raid

This dagger was designed hilt-heavy to lie in the hand to reduce the risk of dropping. It has double-edge blade with stiletto-sharp tip and diamond-shaped cross section, sharpened on both cutting edges all the way to its the oval cross guard. It has a slender symmetrical grip, with a middle convexity. 

The original stiletto hilts were die-cast using zinc aluminum alloy to create the handle but, over time it was discovered that the zinc ions in this alloy tended to leach out, leaving the casting extremely brittle. a result, more than half of the few Raider stilettos still in existence today have very fine hilt cracks or entire portions of the hilt missing, with pieces having simply flaked off; many more have replacement handles. Therefore, we chose a full tang design with durable injection molded handles.

Great piece for the collection

Excellent blade. Very happy with my purchase and service from The Knife Guy. If vuyung this blade please do note it is purely made for its purpose as a dagger and is not really of any use for other tasks such as cutting or crafting. It is extremely sharp, but the tip is so thin it will definitely break if being used for anything other than its intended purpose. Great collection piece though!
