615,36 €Spartan Blades Harsey Folder “Aztec” – Limited-Edition Premium Folder with CPM MagnaCut
The Spartan Blades Harsey Folder “Aztec” Titanium, Black PVD MagnaCut by William W. Harsey (SF5AZTC) is a limited-edition premium folding knife based on the acclaimed Spartan-Harsey Folder platform. Designed by William W. Harsey Jr., it combines the functional Spear Point blade geometry, CPM MagnaCut powder steel, a titanium construction, and an artistically engraved handle featuring an Aztec motif.
The model retains the full-size character of a tactical folder but stands out with its collector’s finish. The black Black PVD coating emphasizes the blade’s austere silhouette and complements the decorative pattern on the titanium grips.
CPM MagnaCut – Premium Steel with High Performance
CPM MagnaCut is a modern powder steel valued for its balance of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and strength. In the SHF folder, it ensures long-lasting sharpness and stable edge performance during everyday EDC tasks, field work, and utility applications.
The blade is coated with a black Black PVD coating, which enhances the knife’s technical character and creates a cohesive look with the dark, engraved handle.
Spear Point and flat grind – control and effective cutting
The Spear Point profile ensures a centrally aligned tip and versatile geometry useful for precise scoring, working with cardboard, tape, cord, and utility materials. The pronounced spine extends the effective cutting edge.
Flat Grind allows the blade to glide smoothly through the material and strikes a good balance between blade strength and cutting performance. Jimping on the spine provides a secure thumb rest during tasks requiring greater control.
Aztec Titanium Handle and Frame Lock Construction
The handle, made of solid 6AL4V Titanium, features an artistic Aztec engraving. Beveled edges improve grip comfort, and the open design makes it easy to keep the knife clean. Titanium spacers create a lightweight and rigid construction without a full backspacer.
The Frame Lock uses a spring-loaded section of the titanium handle to securely lock the blade in place when open. A double-sided titanium tip-up clip allows for convenient carrying of the knife on either the right or left side of your pocket.
Why Choose the Spartan Blades Harsey Folder Aztec?
The Spartan Blades Harsey Folder Aztec is designed for users and collectors looking for a full-size premium folder with distinctive styling, modern steel, and a hand-finished titanium handle. CPM MagnaCut ensures high durability, while the SHF construction remains practical for everyday carry.
