USMC Blackout Combat Tanto Sword with Nylon Sheath

Expertly fusing tradition and innovation, the officially licensed USMC "Blackout" Combat Sword is an undeniably modern take on an iconic, time-tested USMC sword design. Its potent 19 3/4" AUS-6 stainless steel tanto blade features the classic nonreflective black coating, enlarged blood groove, partial serrations and prominent "USMC" stamp that old-school Marine combat sword fans know and love. It's a tried-and-true blade design that continues to prove its worth on the battlefields and in the back country wildlands of the present day. Beyond the blade, the Blackout Sword's handle is encircled by five green bands - an aesthetic nod to the classic combat sword's emblematic stacked leather handle. But the familiarity largely ends here - with respect to the handle, at least. Retooled to satisfy the unique tactical demands and survival challenges of the modern era, the Blackout Sword's advanced injection molded handle is extraordinarily durable. Details: Total Length: 70 cm Blade length: 50 cm Blade Thickness: 4 mm Blade material: AUS-6 stainless steel
