The accessories collection reflects Spartan Blades' military roots and American manufacturing standards. Challenge coins honor the Special Forces tradition—a practice dating back to Colonel Verne Green's 10th Special Forces Group-A in 1969. The Pineland coin commemorates the 2019 formation of Pineland Cutlery, Inc., a joint venture with KA-BAR Knives, and features the founders' signatures on antiqued brass with 3D relief.
The Grafi titanium pen takes its name from the ancient Greek word for "writings that express meaning." Precision Swiss-milled in the USA from 6AL4V titanium, the 5.25-inch bolt-action pen uses Schmidt Technology easy FLOW 9000 M pressurized cartridges for reliable writing in any condition. Available finishes range from bare titanium to bronze anodized to titanium damascus with Spartan's distinctive Storm Watch treatment.
Lead-free pewter lanyard beads—Spartan Helmet, Shield, Crusader Cross, and Beret Skull—are cast in the USA and sized to fit double-strand 550 paracord. The Shield bead features "MOLON LABE" in Greek script on the reverse. Pre-tied lanyards pair these beads with US-made 550 7-strand nylon parachute cord.
The Pen Protector, designed by Ted Valerio (a knife designer and 20-year law enforcement veteran), transforms a standard Sharpie into a tactical EDC tool. The heavy-duty injection-molded clip integrates with MOLLE systems, and the design allows quick marker replacement.
The Carnivore dining set—a collaboration with V NIVES—includes a VG-10 stainless knife and fork with G-10 handles, ceramic sharpening system, and injection-molded case. It's a practical alternative to disposable utensils for field use or everyday carry.
Spartan Blades was founded in 2008 by Curtis Iovito and Mark Carey—two retired U.S. Army Special Forces NCOs with over 40 years of combined military service. Operating from Southern Pines, North Carolina, near Fort Bragg, they started in a pre-Civil War mule barn with a singular mission: manufacture finely crafted tactical and field knives. That same attention to detail extends to everything they make.
