Fantoni Harsey HB-01

Just wanted to say what a fantasticly well made folder this is. Buttersmooth opening, solid lock up, great ergo's, top F&F and great edgeholding.

All the Best from the Low Lands,
Martin

yeah I have one of those when they were marketed as Beretta/FOX, and it's truly an outstanding knife, great construction and ergos, I never understood why they weren't more popular.

BONUS: it is SO easy to put an Emerson-style Wave on those by indenting the thumb-ramp with a dremel-tool, and it works like a dream!

Great photos, great knife! I saw one at my local dealer (Vienna) and have been considering it, however it's somewhere above €200, if I'm not mistaken.

May I ask what you paid for yours?

 

[Martin Swinkels]

I got it from Heinnie's in the UK for like 190 pounds.

 

[Travelller]

Thx. Sounds about the same and is representative of the quality build & materials!

One of the best production knives ever made, at any price.
And the price was very reasonable.

Good looking folder , I like the blade style a lot.

I guestimated it must measure around 133mm (5-1/4") folded; How does it sit in jeans (assuming you EDC yours, etc.)?

 

[Martin Swinkels]

It's not thick and not too heavy, so it rides pretty comfortable for a folder that size.

Ok, ok - you win, already...
...so I went ahead and got one

Congratulations !!

Congratulations !!

Man, this knife really rocks

I don't think I own another knife that has the same level of ergonomics! Between the grippy G10 pattern & ample jimping, you cannot possibly lose your grip on this knife... The flipper (while useless as a flipper) makes a great guard. I could go on ...and I will - review to come

^ Looking forward to know more about this knife.

I was attracted to it way back when it still under the Beretta line. Harsey's superb ergo design is unmistakable, its almost a signature.

Agreed! Speaking of which, here's my review*


*Martin, I of course named you as co-conspirator in this latest "twist-my-arm" purchase, lol
