Spartan Blades 3.25 Folder JohnsonKnives@gmail.com if you’d like to get a hold of me. My Instagram, www.instagram.... Big shoutout to ... for letting me borrow and USE this knife as my own. -Randy
Sharp! Thanks for checking these out Randy! I always appreciate your thoughts and these long form vids. Perfect for late night winding down. This 3.25 is awesome. Small compact handle, but longer blade compared to the hinder and crk counterparts. Great blade shape, steel, and thickness between the three as well! Looking forward to more!!! -CuttingEdgeGear
Love the fact that the are still making titanium framelock on PB washers. No lock-bar inserts, no bearing, no BS. I own both this knife and the larger 4" brother in black DLC. Love both of them. FWIW I'm a Sebenza 21 lover. I've owned a dozen or two Hinderers and Striders over the years. Think the knife is easily in the Hinderer XM-18 class if not better in terms of QC and fit and finish. The XM-18 3" is a good comparison. The Pivot bushing on a Sebenza 21 puts it in a class of it's own. Watched the WHOLE freaking video. Anyone who can't concentrate for 30 minutes is useless. ;p SHARP.
That 3.25 is one sharp looking knife. Quality content is quality content, no matter what the running time is. People can always watch bite size pieces until they finish it.
The sharpening choil area is a pet peeve of mine. Thats why stick with CRK's as my main users. It seems their edges are always easy to touch up while not screwing up the edge.
First i saw this one I tought its a beauty where can I buy. But imidiatly in first seconds I saw the missing sharpening notch Wich you also tales about later... After that I knew everything what would come next is not getting me ignoring that fact. I really don't understand why makers don't care about this thing in a Design it would be not hard to do even without loosing more than 2 mm of cutting edge and also without ruining the design. Even if this would be an not so hard to do mod for me, it's something I don't would like to have in mind when I buy a knife in that price range... Bytheway. 😅 This has nothing to do with your review. It is a very good one and I'm happy to see something form you again. Thank you for sharing 🙂
I'm an old Solo knife Review fan, so I'm used to your 30 minute or longer videos. I actually like your longer video because you really take your time to intelligently express your thoughts and opinions!!! If you did a 10 minute or shorter video, it would seem like you were just reading a list of knife specs and basically doing a dumbed-down version of your content/videos!!!
Thank you, it’s not for everyone. TH-cam stats show average watch time is 5 mins or so, even on the longer videos. Hard to not get caught up in the numbers, but cut down scripted stat based videos are something I want no part in. Thanks for commenting
SHARP You have the best reviews and I have just purchased a SPARTAN that was brought in from Taiwan, but the KNIVE is excellent and has CTS-XHP steel. This has been a nice little find for me @ SMKW. By the way where is a good spot to sell knives. I have a few knives I want to sell to free up cash.
Just subscribed to your channel. Seen a couple of your videos. Good content. If you stop your video at 11:11 you'll see something.🕷🪰 I will have to do some catching up on your other videos. 👍🇺🇲🤙✌
10 minutes is to short, 30 minutes is to long for this bum, but do your thing, stay real. buy the way you could always make a video on how you keep your knives SHARP .................
Love Spartan and they really take care of their customers!! Stay Sharp Brother! 👊🏼
Sharp!

Sharp I love the long videos and glad to see your still making videos
So glad you’re back. Stay SHARP Randy

Please keep the vids coming! I love the longer videos with zero edits. Feel free to rant. Sharp.
I like the overtravel via the pivot ring idea. It’s not my favorite knife design, but I see the beauty and execution of it.
I really enjoy the longer form videos. They just feel more genuine and casual. Always excited to see an upload on your channel. Stay sharp!
missed your great videos welcome back
The sharpening choil area is a pet peeve of mine. Thats why stick with CRK's as my main users. It seems their edges are always easy to touch up while not screwing up the edge.
Sharp. Looking forward to more vids. 👍
Great to see you back! I may be wrong, but I believe Strider is no longer producing production knives. Only customs.
sharp.... 30 min is okay as long as content is good and this video is worth the time I spent watching
Keep doing sharp stuff

First time here. Great video. Keep up the " Sharp work "
Sharp! Have been on the fence on this one but your review has been really helpful.
Sharp indeed
Love a good 30 min sharp vid! Keep them coming Randy!
Sharp! I love your videos!
Great to see a video from you again! I think a mix of formats would be fine. Sharp!
Those knives are looking SHARP!
looking sharp man
Great video I enjoyed the lenghr thoroughly Ill watch this video dozens and dozens of times over the years SHARP
Always enjoy your videos! Seems like a sharp knife design.
i was thinking this looked like a suped up ZT450 and then you brought it out
Keep the videos coming with those SHARP knives!
Did he ever review the standard size SHF like he said?
Nice!
I have a Pallas in S45VN fantastic knife. I really want to get a Full size Spartan Harsey Folder. Sharp
Sharp… I dig the 30 min vids
Sharp! Long form is better by far. Strider still makes knives they do periodic drops on their website of a model and they sell out quick.
Glad to see you’re still sponsored by Sharper Image 👌
i sharped to the end
Sharp!!
Looks shaaaarp!
Stayed to the end. Definitely a knife geek tho

Any chance you can bust out that GEC 15 glow clip point for some looks? SHARP
Sharp 😎
shart 😆 i mean SHARP!
i dont think the 30 min format is as sharp as it used to be. I'd definitely try to get it to 10 or 15 minutes.
SHARP You have the best reviews and I have just purchased a SPARTAN that was brought in from Taiwan, but the KNIVE is excellent and has CTS-XHP steel.

By the way where is a good spot to sell knives. I have a few knives I want to sell to free up cash.
IG or reddit
Did you ever do a spelunking vid for this one?
Sharp for sure...
Sharp
Nice knife, hope it stays "sharp"
Sharp, Will you be going over the knife sharpens given its grind?
sharp
Wish more companies would use pivot bushings like the sebenza... ~$400 for a knife that's no different than walmart designs? Nope...
SUPER MASZYNKA.
