Spartan Blades Harsey Folder “Babe” Blue Titanium, Stonewashed MagnaCut by William W. Harsey (SF5 BABE SW)

The Spartan Blades Harsey Folder “Babe” SF5 BABE SW is a full-size folder designed by William W. Harsey, combining a Crucible CPM MagnaCut blade with a titanium Frame Lock construction. The blue handle with a decorative “Babe” motif gives this version a distinctive character, while the stonewashed finish emphasizes the knife’s utilitarian profile.

The 101.60 mm Drop Point blade features a flat grind and is mounted on phosphor bronze washers. Thumb studs on both sides, a reversible titanium tip-up clip, and a full-size handle made of 6AL4V titanium create a design intended for comfortable everyday use.

Crucible CPM MagnaCut – Steel for Demanding EDC

CPM MagnaCut combines very high corrosion resistance with good impact resistance and long-lasting sharpness. In this variant, it has a hardness range of 61–63 HRC, which is well-suited for a full-size utility folder with a solid titanium construction.

Drop Point, Flat, and stonewashed finish

The Drop Point profile provides a functional tip and a versatile edge profile, suitable for a wide range of everyday tasks. The flat grind supports efficient cutting, while the stonewashed finish helps mask minor signs of wear and gives the blade a more subdued appearance.

Blue Titanium, Frame Lock, and the Babe Edition

The Handle is made of 6AL4V titanium and finished in blue, retaining the distinctive Babe motif. The Frame Lock utilizes a section of the titanium frame to stabilize the blade in the open position, and titanium spacers complement the knife’s rigid, open construction.

Technical Data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for the CPM MagnaCut?

The CPM MagnaCut is highly corrosion-resistant, but it’s a good idea to clean and dry the blade after use. Regularly cleaning the pivot mechanism and the interior of the titanium handle also helps keep the mechanism running smoothly.

How do I sharpen the CPM MagnaCut?

It’s best to use diamond or ceramic sharpening stones, or a sharpening guide system. Due to its high abrasion resistance, sharpening may take longer than with simpler stainless steels.

What sharpening angle should be used?

The manufacturer does not specify a single mandatory sharpening angle for this model. The safest approach is to restore the factory edge geometry or adjust the angle to suit your own usage.

How does the Frame Lock work?

The Frame Lock utilizes a section of the titanium Handle structure, which, when the knife is opened, slides under the base of the blade and stabilizes it in the open position. To release the lock, simply slide this element aside and close the blade.

How do you carry the Spartan Harsey Folder “Babe”?

The model features a reversible titanium clip that can be mounted on the right or left side of the Handle. In both configurations, the knife is carried in the tip-up position.
