Spartan SHF Pic Thread. Let’s See ‘Em!

What's the backstory on that finish?

It was originally one of the full PVD versions. I scuffed it up with some scotchbrite to give it a "distressed" look. I have a few SHFs and didn't mind modifying one of them some. I am still going to do a little blending of the scale jimping to smooth out the sharpness of them. Probably not anything folks might normally do to their knives but I was enjoying doing it.

It also immediately removes any hesitation one might have about scuffing up their knives.

Finally!!! Got my pre-order in for this baby!
They showed this design off at SHOT in January of 2023. I was starting to think it was never gonna happen.
Better late than never I guess.

I dig the "drug down a gravel road" finish! Might have to do that to my PVD

Nice! I like how the engraving has a bit of a grip to it. The Koi was also the fastest to break in for me.

Yea, this one is super smooth

I managed to miss seeing this thread. Nice-looking knives, folks! My one and only SHF 3.5.

This may be my favorite SHF so far, the stonewash handle and engraving provide an excellent amount of grip, the anodizing is typical SHF beauty, and the action on this one is superb!

Been waiting for these for quite a while.

I dig mine as well, I'm toying with the idea of sending it in to the mothership and have them engraved BRRRRRRRRRRT on the lock side

 

[norcalAF]

My three favorites!
