The TALOS Folder is a lightweight folding knife with a liner lock, designed by our friend and collaborator William W. Harsey Jr. Its slim and lightweight design makes it the perfect companion for everyday carry and daily tasks. Despite its small size, thanks to its thoughtful design, high-quality CTS-XHP blade, and deep pocket clip, it handles most daily tasks with ease. Whether you're wading through a trout-rich stream or on your way to work, this little knife is ideal.

All our Bronze (Field) grade folding knives incorporate our new "Oil Infused Bronze Bearing System" or "OIBBS". Our sintered bronze bearings are oil-infused, thus reducing friction on the blade, giving you a tight but smooth blade opening. This system is particularly useful for slow speeds, intermittent use, and irregular loads like those found on folding knives.

The POROS flipper was designed by Curtis Iovito as a robust and large-sized flipper. The high grind lines of this blade, combined with a sharp and penetrating tip, make it a reliable companion for everyday carry.

Its quick flipper action is assisted by IKBS bearings for that "Snap" you're looking for! Its distinctive scallops are not only beautiful to look at but also ensure a secure grip. The deep pocket clip maintains a low profile while keeping your blade ready for use when needed. The blade is made of 154CM stainless steel with a black titanium nitride coating; the SS hardware and liner have a black electroplated powder coating.

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.

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.

Notes: The Field Grade series with Bronze-colored box, identifies the Asian production of Spartan Blades entrusted to Pineland Cutlery (a company formed by Spartan Blades and Ka-Bar). In this series one can find the most iconic designs of Spartan Blades offered at very aggressive and competitive prices.

On December 9, 1942, during the Second World War, KA-BAR presented a knife to the United States Marine Corps hoping it would become the standard weapon. In collaboration with the Marine Supply Department, the project was revised, and production began on an improved combat and utility knife.

During the war, USMC KA-BAR knives gained such recognition for their quality and abundance that "KABAR" became the common name. It was adopted by the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Underwater Demolition Teams. Years later, many KA-BAR knives were reactivated in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2019, KA-Bar partnered with Spartan Blades to form Pineland Cutlery. CEO John Stitt aimed to create a "KA-BAR" with improved strength, robustness, and corrosion resistance. During development, metallurgist Larrin Thomas identified CPM MagnaCut® steel with the desired qualities.

CPM MagnaCut® is a sintered high-carbon steel produced by Crucible Industries and specifically designed for blades. Spartan Blades developed the Spartan-KA-BAR using CNC machining, cryogenic treatment, and PVD coatings.

Notes: Please note that the Flat Dark Earth (FDE) coated blade, when inserted or removed from the leather sheath, may show streaks or stains due to the dye used for the sheath. The blade can be cleaned with petroleum or acetone, re-oiled (e.g., with WD40 or light mechanical oil), and dried with a clean cloth to restore the original coating finish.

Machai - A fitting name for this large cutting tool. In Greek mythology, the Machai were the demons (spirits) of battle and combat.

The high weight and recurved profile of this flat ground blade make it an excellent hatchet. The Machai has a full-tang construction and a handle that ensures a forward balance in the user's hand.

In this series, you can find new products that combine the typical Spartan Blades designs with the production experience of Ka-Bar to keep public prices affordable without having to give up a made in USA production.

The Harsey TT (Tactical Trout) is designed to be a very comfortable and sturdy medium-sized knife for most field tasks and defensive use. The size of the TT makes it easy to carry and handle.

The blade profile provides a clean cut with excellent tip strength. The full tang and handle of the Harsey TT provide neutral balance in the user's hand. The ergonomically shaped, linen Micarta handle provides a comfortable and secure grip when dry or wet. The pommel has a lanyard hole in the center of the angled tip. The TT is an excellent universal fixed blade, well balanced in size, function and feel. In our opinion, one of William Harsey's best designs.

After more than 40 years of service in the U.S. Army Special Forces, Curtis Iovito and Mark Carey founded Spartan Blades LLC in North Carolina. Curtis, who had already been designing and drawing knives for his friends in the Special Forces for years, and Mark, who had always been involved in military and tactical equipment when he served in the "Green Berets," decide to combine their skills and passion with the goal of building innovative and functional knives using the highest quality materials and made entirely in the United States.
