The ASTOR is our first folding knife in collaboration with prolific knife maker Les George, winner of Blade Show 2021 as "Imported Knife of the Year."

The ASTOR was built as a sturdy working knife! With its sturdy G-10 grips, thick liner-lock and high-strength CTS-XHP steel blade, the ASTOR is the perfect knife for those jobs that require a little extra toughness.

All of our Bronze Field Grade productions incorporate our new "Oil Infused Bronze Bushing System" or "OIBBS"! Our sintered bronze bushings are impregnated with oil, which reduces friction on the blade, thus ensuring that the blade opens smoothly, even when firmly held. This system is especially useful for low speeds, intermittent use and irregular loads such as those found on folding knives.

The Spartan-Ronin Shōtō is a folding karambit knife with a liner lock. This blade is the result of a collaborative effort between Spartan Blades and TU Lam of Ronin Tactics, our former Special Forces colleague and dear friend.

Having worked throughout Asia and in Indonesia, both Tu Lam and Spartan hold a great respect for the Karambit style. This blade was designed to be incorporated into various martial arts systems.

It features a blade made of CTS-XHP, "Emerson Wave" function for easy opening, and a reversible pocket clip for left-hand carry; the black and red G10 grips ensure a secure grip. Please check this link to Ronin Tactics HERE.

All our Bronze (Field) grade folding knives incorporate our new "Oil Infused Bronze Bearing System" or “OIBBS”. Our sintered bronze bearings are oil-impregnated, thereby reducing friction on the blade, offering you a tight but smooth blade opening.
