Common Questions About the Spartan Astor

The Spartan Blades Astor represents the brand's first collaboration with custom maker Les George, designed as a heavy-duty work horse folder. These knives bring Spartan's renowned ergonomics to a more accessible field-grade platform.

What materials are used in the Spartan Blades Astor series?
The Astor series features high-performance blade steels such as CTS-XHP or 154CM, paired with durable handle scales made from textured G10 or carbon fiber laminates. These knives utilize a liner lock construction and a high flat grind to balance strength with efficient slicing geometry.
Who designed the Spartan Blades Astor?
The Astor is a collaboration between Spartan Blades and custom knifemaker Les George. It incorporates George's signature design language, focusing on robust ergonomics and a versatile drop point blade shape that excels in hard-use environments.
Does the Astor use ball bearings in the pivot?
No, the Astor series uses an oil-infused sintered bronze bushing system rather than ball bearings. This provides a smooth, deliberate opening action and a very solid feel that is well-suited for a hardworking folder intended for the Spartan Blades Field Grade line.
Is the pocket clip on the Astor reversible?
Yes, the Astor features a deep-carry pocket clip that can be mounted for either right-hand or left-hand carry. The design includes a block-out plate for the unused side, ensuring the handle retains a clean, finished appearance regardless of your carry preference.
Where is the Spartan Blades Astor manufactured?
The Astor is part of the Spartan Blades Field Grade series, which is imported to provide a more accessible price point than their premium US-made folders. This allows users to access Spartan's professional-grade designs and high-end materials like CTS-XHP steel in the $115 to $145 range.
