Yes, I sent an email to them, but since it's Saturday I figure they won't respond until next week. I was just curious if anyone else had seen this.Have you tried asking Spartan directly? They’re typically very customer friendly.
I got it from an authorized dealer, I think the screws look different in the pic from the angle and the phone focus.Where did you get it?
Maybe it's the picture, but the screws on the sterile one don't look as crisp
That coupled with the lack of a sig would give me cause for concern.I just noticed the spine of the blade has weird looking grain pattern too.

Yeah, I'm thinking somehow the blade got through without finishing the polishing on the spine and signing. I'm assuming heat treating happens before these final finishing steps.That coupled with the lack of a sig would give me cause for concern.
That's a good point and makes sense. Maybe they'll give me a big discount and let me keep it!Judging from the open, grainy pattern on the spine of the sterile blade, I wonder if that’s a blade that didn’t pass QC and got assembled by mistake.
Anyway, I’ve heard great things about Spartan support, so I’m sure they’ll take care of you.
Yeah I wondered about that, did they make an S35V version 1st? I can't find any info that they did.Don't forget the lack of steel marking.
What was the mislabeled mistake and where was the asterisk? My understanding is that the Harsey 3.25 has only been available with S45VN and Damascus blades. I got my first Spartan last week and was so impressed I bought a duplicate, that's how I ended up with this one.Spartan mislabeled a few dozen Harsey folders last year or earlier this year and still sold them. They denoted the mistake with an asterisk on the blade. So I’d say yours is just a mistake. Spartan has excellent cs in my experience.
