Spartan-Harsey Folder 3.25 "Kraken" – The Depths of Craftsmanship Unleashed

The Spartan-Harsey Folder 3.25 "Kraken" is a creation born from the depths of imagination and mastery—a knife that began as a one-off custom design and has since risen to legendary status. Each release of this limited-edition folder is an event unto itself, surfacing only periodically on our site when not in production for Spartan Dealers. Like the mythical sea creature it’s named for, the “Kraken” edition embodies both mystery and unstoppable power.

Representing the latest collaboration between Spartan Blades and renowned knife maker William “Bill” Harsey Jr., the SHF 3.25 captures the anticipation of collectors and enthusiasts alike. Compact yet formidable, it features a 3.25-inch CPM MagnaCut stainless steel blade paired with a precision-machined 6AL-4V titanium frame lock. Every contour and surface is crafted for comfort and control, creating a gentleman’s (or ladies’) folder that exudes both elegance and performance.

Following in the footsteps of its award-winning predecessor, the full-size SHF, this medium-sized version is built with the same uncompromising standards. The Kraken Edition showcases stunning anodized titanium handles with green and bronze tones that shimmer like sunlight beneath the ocean’s surface. It’s fitted with dual thumb studs and a reversible pocket clip for ambidextrous carry—proof that practical design and artistry can coexist in perfect harmony.

Every detail of the SHF 3.25 “Kraken” speaks to Spartan Blades’ dedication to excellence: a drop point blade for superior cutting versatility, a stonewashed finish for rugged beauty, and a balanced feel that disappears in the pocket yet commands attention in hand. This is more than a tool—it’s an heirloom of precision, power, and purpose.
