KILROY FOLDER – A TRIBUTE TO THE SILENT SENTINEL OF WWII
Forged in tribute to one of the most enduring symbols of World War II, the Kilroy Folder is more than just a knife—it's a piece of history. The iconic "Kilroy Was Here" image, first scrawled on the walls of Europe and the Pacific, was the unspoken signature of American soldiers during the darkest days of global conflict. A cryptic yet defiant mark, Kilroy's mischievous face—peering over a wall—served as a reminder that no matter how dire the situation, American resilience would endure.
The Kilroy Folder is a masterful embodiment of this spirit, blending the grit and determination of wartime with the craftsmanship of Spartan Blades. Each detail of this knife is a nod to the legendary figure that left his mark on history’s most pivotal battlefields. Whether it was the soldiers on the front lines or the sailors on the decks of battleships, Kilroy's visage became an emblem of unyielding strength and the resilience of the American fighting spirit.
The Kilroy Folder is crafted with the same commitment to durability and performance that defined the soldiers who carried Kilroy’s image into battle. Designed by William W. Harsey Jr. and built by Spartan Blades, this knife honors that legacy with every cut. The blade, made from Black PVD-coated CPM MagnaCut Stainless Steel, ensures both strength and sharpness, standing ready for any challenge—just as Kilroy’s spirit did during the war.
With a 10.2cm (4-inch) spear point blade, a total length of 9 inches, and an expertly crafted titanium handle, this folder is both a practical tool and a symbol of enduring courage. The handle features an image of the iconic Kilroy and an image of a WW II tank, echoing the artistry of those wartime scribes who marked their territory with the Kilroy signature. The sleek, minimalist design make it a reliable companion for everyday use, while the flat ground main bevel and tapered top edge ensure precision and versatility in any task.
