|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.

- This article is about the sword-wielding foe with the magenta face mask and red plume, and should not be confused with Sword Knight.
“ | You'll gain the Sword ability by gulping this baddie down. | ” | — Description of Blade Knight from the Kirby: Triple Deluxe website |
Blade Knight is an enemy in the 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 inhaled.
Physical appearance[edit]
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 Friend in Kirby Star Allies.

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.

Kirby: Meta Knight and the Puppet Princess | Tritagonist | In this volume, Blade Knight travels with Sword Knight and Meta Knight to Chef Kawasaki's restaurant. When 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. |
