Product Description
-------------------
The word OLeatherneck' has become synonymous with the famous
U.S. Marines since 1776 when Congress compelled all Marines to
wear a thick, high leather collar (known in the vernacular of the
day as a "stock"). This collar served two purposes; First, it
helped protect one's neck from and cutlass blows, and
second, it forced a Marine to keep his head up straight,
exhibiting the posture that was fashionable at the time.
Today, after two centuries of personal sacrifice on and off the
battlefield, our Leathernecks enjoy the love, respect, and
admiration of every true American and it is to them we dedicate
the inaugural model of a new series of battle ready knives. The
Leatherneck-SF (for Semper-Fi) features a hand-honed razor sharp
clip point blade. It's flat ground from top to bottom, creating a
shallow "V" shaped cross section that has proven ideal for
cutting slicing, and shearing through a wide variety of
materials. To keep the fingers from sliding forward on to its
keen edge, the Leatherneck-SF comes with a substantial guard.
Made of thick steel with double quillons that are turned slightly
forward, it provides excellent protection for the hand,
especially in close combat, while offering minimal interference
in the use of the when performing utility tasks. The handle
is made of deeply checkered Kraton®, it totally encloses the
knives' extra wide, full tang and offers unsurpassed gripping
power through its palm hugging oval cross section and unique
finger trough. It's capped with a thick, machined steel butt cap
(not cheap casting like others) so it can also deliver frightful
blows with the butt or double in an emergency as a hammer. To
carry the Leatherneck-SF safely and conveniently in all
environments, it comes with a sturdy Secure-Ex sheath complete
with fully detachable and ambidextrous belt loop.
