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
sword and cutlass blows, and second, it forced a Marine to keep his head up
straight, exhibiting the military 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 knife 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. The word “leatherneck”
has become synonymous with the United States Marines since 1776, when Congress
asked all Marines to wear a thick, high leather collar, which served two
purposes. First, it helped protect one’s neck from sword and cutlass blows,
and second, it forced a Marine to keep his head up straight, exhibiting the
military posture that was fashionable at the time. Today, to pay tribute to
Marines’ more than two centuries of sacrifice and heroism, Cold Steel knives
has created the Leatherneck series of battle-ready knifes. The Leatherneck-SF
— short for “Semper Fi” — has a saber ground clip point blade, hollow ground
and honed by hand to razor sharpness. To keep fingers from sliding forward
onto their keen edge, Leatherneck knives come with a substantial guard, made
of thick steel with double quillons that are turned slightly forward and
provide excellent hand protection and minimal interference when performing
utility tasks. The handle is made of deeply checkered Kray-Ex material that
totally encloses an extra-wide, full tang. An oval cross section and unique
finger trough provide impressive grip, and the knife is capped with a thick,
machined steel butt cap for blunt defense or use as a hammer. A sturdy Secure-
Ex sheath with fully detachable and ambidextrous belt loop is also included.
