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 over 40 years of military experience to found Spartan Blades, a company specializing in the production of high-quality knives 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 2.0% (Mo) and niobium 2.0% (Nb) guarantees 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.

Blade - with a classic drop point profile, finished with a stonewashed method to hide small scratches caused during use. The prominent belly extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the blade. The solid blade thickness combined with a high flat grind (flat grind) gives excellent cutting properties combined with high durability. The bronze washers help to open the blade with the dual thumb studs. To maintain full control over the blade, upper jimping, a corrugated thumb rest, is applied to the back of the blade. The whole is locked with a proven and popular frame lock.

Handle - made of 6AL4V titanium, it has beveled edges on the covers, eliminating sharp points. The surface is decorated with an artistic engraving of Saint Michael the Archangel. The open open-backed design without the typical backspacer, attached to each other with titanium spacer sleeves, makes cleaning easier. The simple but solid design guarantees many years of use. The edges of the handle are jimped to improve grip. The pivot axis is decorated with a designer screw, and all fasteners (screws, clip) are gray. The double-sided (right/left) titanium clip, decorated with an arrow motif, allows the knife to be carried in a tip-up position. There is a hole above the clip for threading a safety cord.
