The Harsey Folder, blacked out with bronze hardware.
The Spartan Harsey Folder, or SHF, is Spartan Blades' flagship folder, designed with William Harsey Jr. and winner of the 2016 BLADE Show American Made Knife of the Year. This one is finished in black PVD with bronze hardware, on the full 6AL-4V titanium frame lock body with a 4 inch CPM-MagnaCut spear point.
Black and Bronze
Black PVD is a hard physical vapor deposition coating, and against it the bronze hardware is the only warm color on the knife. It is the most restrained SHF in the lineup and the one that reads best in a pocket that also holds a watch.
The SHF
Everything but the blade, pivot, and stop pin is machined titanium. It deploys on dual thumb studs over phosphor bronze bushings, and the action breaks in and gets better with use rather than loosening up. It is a heavy, confidence inspiring folder that gets compared to Chris Reeve and Hinderer, and at 5.9 ounces it earns the comparison.
