'''Blade Knight''' is an [[enemy]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' along with his cousin [[Sword Knight]]. He is a swordsman of small stature that wears green armor with a red plume on his helmet. He attacks by swinging his sword and grants [[Kirby]] the [[Sword]] [[Copy Ability]] when [[inhale]]d.

== Physical appearance ==
Blade Knight wears a set of green armor with a red plume on his helmet which has a magenta face mask and a gold visor. He wears a blue belt around his body, white gloves, and brown boots. On his shoulder pauldrons, he has two gold symbols which resemble tridents on them.

In older games, Blade Knight wore yellow boots and had a dark blue body, though this was altered later on. The official artwork from ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' depicted Blade Knight with insect-like antennae and no plume. In ''Kirby's Adventure'' and ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]'', he has two hairs on his head like [[Waddle Doo]].

Since ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', Blade Knight is left-handed, but becomes right-handed like [[Sword]] Kirby when recruited as a [[Helper#Kirby Star Allies|Friend]] in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

Blade Knight makes his first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', along with [[Sword Knight]]. Both of them act mainly the same in this game and both provide the [[Sword]] ability when inhaled. In ''Kirby's Adventure'', it can also be difficult to tell the two apart.

=== ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' ===
In ''Kirby's Pinball Land'', Blade Knight appears as an [[Easter egg]] in the upper board of [[Wispy-Woods Land]] if Kirby manages to spin a [[Twister]] at top speed and quickly spin it again before it stops, accompanied by the [[Mike]] scream sound effect and 77700 points. This only happens when revisiting the board after defeating King Dedede, and Blade Knight himself cannot be interacted with after appearing.

=== ''Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra'' ===
[[File:KSS Bubbly Clouds screenshot 13.png|thumb|200px|Kirby and a Blade Knight helper in ''Kirby Super Star''.]]
[[File:KSSU Blade Knight Sprite.png]]
Blade Knight appears in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' as the primary source of the Sword ability, acting much the same as in his last appearance. He can be recruited as a [[Helper]] representing said ability, whereupon he will gain all of Sword Kirby's moves and gain an [[Infinity Jump]], with a drawback being reduced maximum [[health]] compared to the pink puffball.

In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Blade Knight also appears as a selectable character in [[Helper to Hero]]. Sword Knight appears exclusively in the remake as well, but has been differentiated from Blade Knight in a few ways, giving him a few tricks that Blade Knight does not have. Blade Knight also appears on a card in [[Kirby Card Swipe]].

When Blade Knight is damaged in both games, a single eye is revealed underneath his face mask.

Blade Knight can be found in the following places in ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'':

In ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', Blade Knight is an assistant to [[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]], and has the same basic job as [[Sword Knight]]. In the English dub, he speaks with a Scottish accent. In that dub and several others, however, Blade Knight doesn't speak as coherent as he does in the Japanese version, sometimes to the point to where he can’t be understood at all by the viewer. Despite that, the characters in the show seem to understand him perfectly fine. This happens quite possibly because of his face mask.

|In this volume, Blade Knight travels with Sword Knight and Meta Knight to [[Chef Kawasaki]]'s restaurant. When [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] crosses paths with them, the two knights get mad when he does not recognize them, but Meta Knight calms them down. When the group arrives at the restaurant, they find out that [[Princess Marona]] of the planet [[Chiffon Star]] has gone missing, and they all travel there to find her. The group finds out that the princess was manipulated by [[Baron Gallic]], a villain that Meta Knight and his henchmen had dealt with in the past. Blade and Sword remember that Baron Gallic had tried to control them with his [[Malice Stone]] to steal Meta Knight's treasured sword [[Galaxia]] in the past, but Meta Knight had stopped him. When the group confronts Baron Gallic, Blade Knight accidentally looks at his Malice Stone, falling under the baron's control. They escape to his lair, and the group goes after him. Meta Knight and [[Sword]] Kirby battle against the brainwashed Blade Knight. Kirby eventually strikes him down with an [[Air Bullet]], and inhales him so Meta Knight can go after Baron Gallic. After Baron Gallic's defeat, Blade and Sword come back to their senses, and they reunite with Meta Knight.
