Spartan Harsey Folding Knife – Black DLC
Welcome to the Spartan Harsey Folding Knife - Black DLC, a frame lock folder that redefines excellence in the world of knives. Crafted by acclaimed knife maker William W. Harsey Jr., this titanium masterpiece stands out as an exceptional addition to your collection.
I have had mine 7 months and still cannot open it one handed. sits in the bag in the box locked up. just a great knife. go to the blade show and see how Spartan spiff up and customize this blade.
This weapon/tool/fashion statement is a state-of-the-art combination of strength, utility and armor. Brutally strong, it offers a confident feel that serves virtually any imaginable scenario. I am unsure about the coating, I chose the black PVD, suitable for any black tie event, and it is already knicked. It looks great now (1 month in light use so far) but I am unsure how resilient the coating will be as it's gets heavier use. I have a similar blade from another mftr. and over time the coating became noticeably scratched with use. I suppose though that heavy use is what a blade like this is for so no worries. I will slay many demons with this testosternone enhancer. Nicely done Spartan Team :-)
This is the last folder you will ever need to purchase! Solidly made knife that will last a very long time. It feels good in the hand and when you snap the blade in place, you know it's ready for business.
Spartan Harsey Folder - You can tell from the pictures what this knife looks like. I can't yet tell you about it's use in hand or edge capabilities. I can speak to how it feels in my hand now. The lock-up is without wobble or waver, absolutely firm - feels like a fixed blade knife once locked open. The combination of jimping atop and scalloping of the handle below gives a very sure grip that will hold positively for forward thrusts. It is the most secure grip I've ever felt on a folding knife - very much like the Spartan Harsey Difensa, except in metal. There's a trick to one-hand opening, best done quickly, with a snap of the wrist, to ensure it opens to the lock. It's beautiful, simple, very well fitted. I think I'm going to like the blade shape very well. It's very well designed and executed. A wonderful knife to the hand, expect it to perform well over my lifetime.
have both of these blades. black just sits in the box locked up. grippy, kool, awesome .
As a military veteran the quality is outstanding!
The egronomics on the knife are awesome. It's overall design is great and it is a beautiful knife. Thank you Spartan, Mark, Curtis, Harsey, Kimberly and everyone else involved in your company and hope to buy more wonderful knives from you soon. See you at the plaza Cutlery Knife show in Oct.
This knife is very well designed and made. Pure quality.
I have waited years for Mr Harsey to come out with a titanium folder. Then I had to wait a few extra months as the manufacturing process was tuned up at Spartan. In the end., it was well worth the wait. The folder is a beautiful work of art and a functional clean sharp edged tool. I elected to buy the DLC coated version. The craftsmanship fit and function are all superb. I have only had it as my daily carry for a couple of weeks but it is breaking in nicely. It's got some heft to it and feels very secure in your hand. But not too heavy in the pocket. I'm not sure how they crammed that 4 inch blade into that folder but it works well. The blade is retained securely within the grip when in your pocket but deploys easily and quickly when needed. The thumb indent, thumb tabs, bearing surfaces all work well together and compliment the knife. Yes, it's expensive. But I find it's worth it.
