First off, Happy Birthday!! It was so nice to see that you were happy with your knife! Honestly, one of the greatest joys we get from making knives is trying to bring some joy to others. Hope this blade serves you a lifetime. Thank you for the review and your thoughts. 🙏🏼

I was awestruck by your craftmanship, how robust it feels, and the MOST comfortable handle design I’ve handled. Thank you 👍👍👍

This is one of those knives you need to experience in person to fully appreciate. I'd seen pictures online, and while they look great, handling one in person was a completely different experience. My friend brought his Warthog version over the other day, and it was my first time handling one. I just bought this exact version today, one day later. They have so many amazing designs, it was difficult to choose! I'm a big poker player, so I will probably end up with the Royal Flush version eventually, but this Koi version was so beautiful and elegant looking, I couldn't pass it up. I came close to getting the Chad Nichols stainless damascus version as it looks amazing, but the stonewashed S45vn also looks fantastic, and does offer a bit better performance from what I've read. Also, belated Happy Birthday knife bro!

Thank you! I absolutely agree with you. I honestly didn’t realize how great of a knife this was until I actually got it into my rotation. Their heat treat is top notch and the handles are so comfy and versatile I’ve ever handled which is surprising because I assumed with all the finger choil s it wouldn’t accommodate various grips but it does!

great unboxing video! i have the watchworks 2021 edition and use as my only edc knife. love it! That Koi version is the one i want next!

Very coool! How had the dama blade held up? I was actually gonna get that one before this but opted for the bigger blade cuz that’s more in my wheelhouse. How does the small carry?

@@these7seas it kinda like the 3 inch xm18, carries great in the pocket, especially for the summer days. I am rotating the small crk sebenza 21, the Hinderer xm18 3.0 and the hersey folder 3.0 these days. Prefer the smaller blade for edc ahaah. The Dama blade is actually pretty nice, just a quick touch for an woking toothy edge, and it looks nice too🤣

Love Koi and am in the process of picking which Spartan Harsey I want. Will probably wait to feel one at blade show in a month. My friend Scab loves them, and is his grail. So this will be my first(grail) high end folder, over $300. But I just seem to love their knives and what they stand for. Ty

Yes! What I love about Spartan Blades is their crazy awesome customer service and just how well made their knives are. The Koi in person is so much more cooler than just pics, highly recommend this one!

@@these7seas the look of them has been growing on me the last couple of months! I am afraid to hold one in person because I feel like I would want it a little too badly haha. Really like the koi (is that right?) design they did on this one though!
