Spartan Harsey Folder SHF 4" MagnaCut - Stone Washed

The Spartan Harsey Folder in stonewashed titanium is the original SHF configuration and the knife that built the reputation of the entire lineup. Designed by Bill Harsey, the same knifemaker who created the Yarborough knife issued to U.S. Army Special Forces graduates, and manufactured by Spartan Blades in Southern Pines, North Carolina. Spartan's company slogan is "Knives with Intent," and the SHF lives up to it. This folder took home Blade Magazine's American-Made Knife of the Year at the 2016 International Blade Show, competing against every production and semi-custom American knife on the market. A comparable Harsey custom folder would run you well north of a thousand dollars. The SHF gives you that level of design and materials at a production price point.

The 4-inch drop point blade is CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, hardened to 61-63 HRC. MagnaCut is the current production standard for premium Spartan Blades models. The improvement in edge retention and corrosion resistance over previous steels is real and noticeable in daily carry. The blade wears a stonewashed finish that hides scratches and wear over months of use. Dual titanium thumb studs allow for ambidextrous opening.

The handle is solid 6AL4V titanium, stonewashed to match the blade. In fact, everything on this knife except the blade steel and stop pin is titanium: the frame lock, pocket clip, thumb studs, pivot, fittings, and screws. The frame lock has an internal lock bar stabilizer that prevents over-travel, and the blade runs on phosphor bronze bushings for smooth, dependable action without the maintenance sensitivity of bearings. A reversible titanium pocket clip supports left or right-hand carry. Overall length is 9 inches. Weight is 5.9 ounces.

KnifeArt was one of the first authorized Spartan Blades dealers when the company launched in 2008 out of an e barn near Fort Bragg.
