Spartan Blades Nymph Integral Frame Slipjoint Knife (1.875" Stonewash)

Spartan Blades have gained a following with their high-caliber knives. The Nymph is a departure from their traditional fixed blade base, but it has already generated buzz in the industry by winning the "Most Innovative American Made Knife of the Year" at the 2014 BLADE Show.

The Nymph's most defining characteristic is the use of the "Integral Frame Slipjoint" mechanism. Developed by Les Halpern of Halpern Titanium, this slip joint uses the titanium frame as a spring, thereby eliminating the need for a separate back spring. The blade is opened by pushing the tab (not a flipper) and pulling on the triangle hole. The Nymph is a miniature folder that fits the bill for those looking for a premium knife that will conform to stringent laws, and those with a penchant for compact fine cutlery.

This knife has a stonewashed S35VN steel blade titanium frame. Includes a tip-up carry pocket clip.
