Spartan Blades Linden
The Spartan Blades Linden is a medium-size field fixed blade designed by William W. Harsey Jr. It was the first mid-size knife built at the Euro Blade Worx workshop in the Czech Republic, where Spartan Blades now produces part of its line. Spartan calls it American design with European precision, and it is named for the linden tree, a traditional symbol of strength, renewal, and truth.
Spartan Blades Linden Specs
The Linden carries a 4.75 inch drop point on stout 0.197 inch stock with full tang construction. It runs about 10.25 inches overall and weighs roughly 8.5 ounces. That puts it in the sweet spot for a field knife. It is big enough for camp chores and food prep, and light enough to wear all day. The drop point keeps a strong tip with enough belly for slicing.
Elmax Blade Steel
The blade is Böhler Elmax, a European powder steel, run at 60 HRC. Elmax is known for a high-wear-resistance edge that still sharpens without much fuss, and its corrosion resistance is plenty for wet field work. Our knife steel guide shows how it compares with MagnaCut and the other Spartan steels. Choose a black PVD or stonewashed finish.
GFN Handle and Kydex Sheath
The handle is black glass-filled nylon, light and indifferent to moisture, so it fits bushcraft and camp use without fuss. The Linden ships in a black Kydex sheath with modular mounting hardware, so you can set it up for belt carry or mount it to gear.
Linden vs Willow and Nessmuk
The Willow is the Linden's small sibling from the same Czech workshop. It is Curtis Iovito's 2.75 inch Elmax spear point for neck or pocket carry. For another Harsey outdoor knife, the Nessmuk runs 1095 Cro-Van in a classic bushcraft pattern. The Linden splits the difference in stainless.
