The impressive Spartan Blades Harsey Folder Kilroy Special Edition is a tribute with cutting power.
Kilroy's legacy – the silent hero of an entire generation
“Kilroy was here” – three words, a simple face, but a powerful symbol. During World War II, Kilroy's image appeared everywhere American soldiers were deployed: on ships, bunkers, and walls – always with a mischievous smile and a quiet promise: We were here, we stand together. No one knew exactly who Kilroy was, but he became a symbol of perseverance: a cartoon comrade who accompanied soldiers through the hardest days with humor and courage.
Kilroy's spirit lived on in later missions, such as in Iraq and Afghanistan. His drawing became a tradition, a silent message of solidarity. Spartan Blades honors this legacy with the Kilroy Folder—a successful combination of tactical function and historical respect.
A statement with history
Developed by William W. Harsey Jr. and manufactured by Spartan Blades, the Kilroy Folder stands for uncompromising quality. The 10.2 cm long spear-point blade made of black PVD-coated CPM MagnaCut steel is extremely sharp, corrosion-resistant, and ready for any task – whether in everyday use or in the field.
With a total length of 22.8 cm and a weight of 167 g, the knife is comfortably balanced in the hand. The titanium handle is engraved with Kilroy's face and a WWII tank – a stylish reference to its historical inspiration. Thanks to its flat grind and finely tapered top edge, the knife impresses with its precision and versatility. The Kilroy Folder is more than a tool – it is a steel salute from the past with a clear view of the future.

Spartan Blades impresses knife enthusiasts with high-quality, unique pocket knives and fixed tactical knives. The sturdy knives always come in a wide variety of designs with top workmanship and a good choice of materials. Instead of stainless steel and 420, you get real performance for your money here: from Japanese AUS-8 steel to 1095 Cro-Van to powder metallurgical CPM steel and MagnaCut, everything is included! The company was founded by retired US Army Special Forces Mark Carey and Curtis Iovito. With an unrivaled expertise that comes from 40+ years of professional experience, the two designed and manufactured their first custom knives while still in the military. In 2008, they recognized their potential and decided to produce tactical and outdoor knives on a larger scale. Spartan Blades was born.
The beginnings were spent making knives in an old pre-war barn, and the customer base consisted of friends, acquaintances, old colleagues and absolute knife fans. Today, the still young company can look back on a number of successes and awards won by Spartan Blades with its unusual ideas and excellent designs. The company now delivers worldwide and produces at several locations.
The grading of the knives in the different classes is also definitely interesting:
The Elite Grade with the golden logo only features knives that are actually still made in Southern Pines, North Carolina. They are equipped with the most exclusive materials and will knock the socks off any knife connoisseur.
The Pro Grade with the silver logo are produced in collaboration with Ka-Bar under Pineland Cutlery. Also “Proudly Made in USA” and also high quality, sturdy knives that are not afraid of any outdoor work.
The field grade, underlined by the bronze logo, is suitable for all knife fans who do not have such an open budget. Production takes place abroad. This means that the knives can be offered at a lower price. Despite the good prices, cheap material has not been used here: AUS 8 and CTS-XHP steel are used as well as G10 or carbon fiber.
Whether you are a collector, bushcrafter or blade enthusiast, a Spartan Blades knife is the right choice for everyone!
