Alan Folts Custom Spartan Titanium Frame Lock Flipper CPM-154 3423

The Custom Spartan folder custom made by Alan Folts is a robust, utilitarian EDC built for serious use. The Spartan lives up to its name with the best in Folts’ design ergonomics with a clean and simple execution that begs to be used. Premium materials like American CPM-154, bearing pivot and full titanium construction make this a high performance cutting tool.

Brand new item directly from the maker.

The Blade: The utilitarian drop point blade is made from CPM-154 and comes in at just over 3/16″ thick with a shallow hollow grind that slices well while still being robust enough for hard use tasks. There is a small ramp with jimping for the thumb and a full length swedge that terminates in a fine yet robust point. A lightly tumbled, acid etched finish gives the knife a subdued look and hides wear well. A strong detent gives the Spartan decisive deployment via the index flipper and ball bearing pivot. 

The Handle: The utilitarian construction belies a subtle elegance in the flowing lines and contours of the ergonomic titanium handles. The handle scales have a matching acid etched and tumbled finish as do the titanium backspacer and 3D machined ti pocket clip (right hand, tip-up) with integrated lanyard hole. One side of the handle forms an integral frame lock for secure use of the knife with milled scallops for ease of operation. 

This custom Spartan comes delivered in a Folts roll up pouch with specs card from the maker.
