637,15 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.

William W. “Bill” Harsey Jr., born in 1955 in western Oregon, comes from a family with deep-rooted forestry traditions that shaped his unwavering work ethic and love of craftsmanship. After completing his bachelor's degree at the University of Oregon in 1979, he devoted himself to the art of knife making, harmoniously combining raw functionality with sophisticated aesthetics in his designs. He has collaborated with renowned personalities such as Colonel Rex Applegate and companies such as Gerber Legendary Blades, Chris Reeve Knives and Spartan Blades. For them, he designed award-winning models, including the Applegate-Fairbairn Combat Folder and The Green Beret Knife. Harsey's designs, distinguished by precision workmanship and a deep understanding of user needs, have won wide acclaim among professionals and collectors alike around the world.
Spartan Blades - In 2008, in a historic barn in Aberdeen, North Carolina, two retired non-commissioned officers of the United States Army Special Forces, Curtis Iovito and Mark Carey, combined more than 40 years of military experience to found Spartan Blades, a company specializing in the production of high-quality knives intended for both military and civilian use. Each knife, reflecting their constant pursuit of perfection, is carefully designed and made from the finest materials, such as CPM MagnaCut steel and titanium. Thanks to its collaboration with renowned designers, including William W. Harsey, Jr., Spartan Blades has won numerous industry awards, including the prestigious title of “American Made Knife of the Year” for the Spartan-Harsey Folder model in 2016. In 2019, following the merger with KA-BAR Knives, Spartan Blades expanded its production capabilities, introducing three product lines: Gold, Silver and Bronze, tailored to the diverse needs of customers. Today, Spartan Blades remains synonymous with excellence in the world of knives, combining military precision with the highest craftsmanship.
CPM MagnaCut – powder stainless steel produced in the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process, hardened to 60.5-62.5 HRC. The high vanadium content of 4.0% (V), molybdenum content of 2.0% (Mo) and niobium content of 2.0% (Nb) guarantee a level of precision and purity that is unmatched by more “conventional” steels. Specially designed and developed for blade production by Larrin Thomas, it meets all the requirements of knife enthusiasts. Thanks to CPM MagnaCut, it has been possible to create a steel that combines the unique properties of knife steels like no other. The result is a blade material that offers an extraordinary balance between wear resistance, strength and corrosion resistance. Currently, there is no other steel on the world market that offers a comparable combination of excellent properties. This unique steel is produced in the American steelworks of Crucible® Industries.
Vacuum & Cryogenic - the steel undergoes a specialized heat treatment process involving two key stages. Vacuum Heat Treatment the steel is hardened in a vacuum environment, which minimizes oxidation and ensures more uniform metal properties. This process increases the strength and structural integrity of the steel. Double Deep Cryogenic Treatment: After heating, the steel is rapidly cooled to extremely low temperatures, often below -100°C (-148°F). This transformation changes the residual austenite into martensite, significantly increasing the hardness, wear resistance and overall durability. Thanks to these advanced processes, the steel ensures exceptional performance, offering both razor-sharp edge retention and extraordinary blade durability.
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) - the surface resistance of the blade and cutting edge is increased by vacuum deposition, which is used to deposit thin layers by condensing the vaporized form of the desired material on the surface of the workpiece. The coating method involves a purely physical process, such as high-temperature vacuum evaporation and subsequent condensation. The applied coating has a very high hardness, which significantly increases the blade's resistance to rust and abrasive wear.
Blade - with a classic drop point profile, finished with a stonewashed finish to hide minor scratches caused by use. The prominent belly increases the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the blade. The solid blade thickness combined with a high flat grind provides excellent cutting properties and high durability. Bronze washers support the opening of the blade with dual thumb studs. To maintain full control over the blade, upper jimping, a ribbed thumb rest, is made on the back of the blade. The whole is locked with a proven and popular frame lock.
Handle - made of 6AL4V titanium black PVD coating, it has beveled edges on the covers, eliminating sharp points. The open-backed design without a typical backspacer, attached to each other with titanium spacers, makes cleaning easier. The simple but solid design guarantees many years of use. There are notches (jimping) on the edges of the handle to improve grip. The pivot axis is decorated with a designer screw, and all fasteners (screws, clips) are gray. A double-sided (right/left) titanium clip, decorated with an arrow motif, allows the knife to be carried in a tip-up position. Above the clip, there is a hole for threading a safety cord.
