Spartan Blades Harsey Folder SHF - Waving American Flag Special Edition, 4" Chad Nichols Damascus, Engraved Titanium - Made in USA (SF5WFLAGDM)

Harsey Folder, Waving American Flag edition, Chad Nichols damascus blade over laser engraved titanium.

This is the Waving American Flag edition of the Spartan Harsey Folder, built on the award winning full titanium SHF platform designed with William Harsey Jr. The flag is laser engraved into the anodized 6AL-4V titanium handle, and the blade is Chad Nichols damascus. See the photos for the engraving and the damascus pattern.

Chad Nichols Damascus

Chad Nichols is one of the best known damascus makers in the country, and a Chad Nichols blade is the upgrade people seek out by name. Damascus is layered steel folded and patterned so the layers show through when the blade is etched. Every blade comes out different, so the pattern on this one belongs to this knife alone.

The Engraved Flag

The flag is cut into the titanium with a laser rather than printed or applied, so it is part of the handle and cannot wear off. Anodizing the titanium underneath it means the color comes from an oxide layer on the metal itself, not from dye or paint. Running engraved artwork against a patterned blade is a lot of visual information on one knife, and it works because the flag sits on the handle instead of competing with the damascus.

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. The Spartan Harsey Folder won the 2016 BLADE Show American Made Knife of the Year.
