SNSF5BK: Spartan Harsey Folding Knife, Black PVD

Spartan Blades

The Spartan SHF is a collaboration between Spartan Knives and world-famous knife designer Bill Harsey. It is made to be used as an everyday carry, tactical, or for field use. They feature a 3.95" CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel blade and except for the blade, barrel pivot, and stop pin, all the parts on the knife are titanium. The ergonomic handle features finger grooves and jimping to lock the design into your hand during hard use. There is an internal over-travel prevention mechanism built into the handle and the titanium pocket clip is reversible for ambidextrous tip-up carry. The dual thumb studs are extremely easy to access because Spartan has milled a perfect ramp for your thumb to find these studs. It's a well-thought-out design and is manufactured with Spartan quality so you know you're getting a knife that can and will serve you well in any theater of use.

Pocket Clip Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.

Titanium Handles A nonferrous metal, it's prized for its high strength to weight ratio and is often used on higher end knives.

Semi-Custom Semi-Custom or Mid-Tech knives are knives produced by a process in which the designer has more direct--but not complete--involvement; parts of these knives may still have been made by others.

MagnaCut A revolution in powder-metallurgy, this is the first steel to combine high degrees of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance all in one remarkable alloy.

Frame Lock Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.

Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Ease of Opening, Handle Feel, Handle Material, Lock Ease of Use, Lock Type, Overall Quality, Pocket Clip, Weight

Cons: None

Almost returned, after 1 year I'm so glad I didn't

The knife wasn't sharp out of the box and didn't cut well at all. I debated on returning it. and instead I took a leap of faith and put a 17 degree edge on it. It isn't great at breaking down cardboard boxes, but it's fantastic at everything else. I've done food prep, yard work and for the size, it actually fits in you pockets well. I have many Demkos (AD20S both 20CV and Magnacut factory edges) and a Hinderer XM-24 but unlike them at a 17 degree angle, I haven't had any blade rolling or chipping. The heat treatment seems to be top notch and it stayed sharp longer than I anticipated. Also the grip is fits my 2XL glove hands perfectly and securely. It's constantly in my rotation and the only tiny almost insignificant grip I have is the PVD coating seems to create a little extra friction. For the money and a 4 inch blade, this is a BARGAIN! It's definitely Spartan as it is bare bones, doesn't have a fancy lock or run on bearings, but if I needed to rely on one folder to survive with, this might be the one.

Cons: Weight

Not happy at first

Right out of the box it was hard to open. And sounded like sand was in it. I put some Chris Reeves oil I got with there knives and had to work it in and finally got it to open like it should. The knife is one of the sharpest I have ever had out of the box. No play in the blade. It’s a little heavy for a EDC but it’s bad ass over all. If it worked like it does now out of the box I would have given it 5 stairs.
