Spartan Blades SHF DaVinci Gold PVD Special Edition | MagnaCut

The Spartan Blades Harsey Folder DaVinci Gold PVD Special Edition masterfully integrates military-grade utility with Renaissance-era artistry. Conceived by legendary custom knifemaker William "Bill" Harsey Jr., this elite tactical folder transforms robust titanium handle scales into a canvas honoring the visionary technical drawings of Leonardo da Vinci. Built on Spartan's award-winning frame lock chassis, this premium tool delivers museum-tier aesthetics optimized for severe field use.

The cornerstone of this heavy-duty folder is its 4.00-inch drop point blade, forged from advanced American CPM MagnaCut steel. Optimized with a double-deep cryogenic treatment to hit a 61-63 HRC hardness benchmark, this powder metallurgy steel yields elite edge retention, impact toughness, and rust resistance under a non-reflective black PVD coating. The blade is anchored by 0.154-inch aerospace-grade 6AL-4V titanium handles, which are gold-anodized and high-power laser etched to depict DaVinci's Vitruvian Man and Aerial Screw helicopter concepts in high-contrast detail.

Engineered for flawless operation in harsh environments, this manual folder rejects standard bearings for an oversized, grit-resistant phosphor bronze washer pivot that smooths out beautifully over time. Deployment is fully ambidextrous via dual gold-anodized titanium thumb studs, locking vault-tight using an integrated titanium frame lock. Precision-machined entirely from solid 6AL-4V titanium, all structural accent components—including the screws, standoffs, and the reversible deep-carry pocket clip—bring the total weight to a balanced 5.888 ounces.
