USMC Blackout Fixed Blade Knife with Nylon Sheath UC3156
Expertly fusing tradition and innovation, the officially licensed USMC "Blackout" is an undeniably modern take on an iconic, time-tested USMC fixed blade knife design. Its potent 6 3/4" 420 stainless steel blade features the classic clip point profile, nonreflective black coating, enlarged blood groove and prominent "USMC" stamp that old-school Marine fans know and love. It's a tried-and-true blade design that continues to prove its worth on the battlefields and back country wildlands of the present day.
Beyond the blade, the Blackout handle is encircled by five green bands - an aesthetic nod to the classic 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 advanced injection-molded handle is extraordinarily durable and boasts a textured rubberized grip that virtually eliminates slippage, even in wet environments and other harsh conditions.
A "USMC" inset is positioned in the handle's center, reminding all who see it that the Blackout Combat is engineered to be Marine tough. Set atop the pommel is a convenient steel glass breaker - another contemporary addition that's perfect for escaping (or assisting others in escaping) entrapment in a wrecked vehicle or burning building, where glass windows may be the only means of exit. Add the included heavy duty black nylon belt sheath, and you've got an extraordinary fixed blade knife setup that honors traditional wisdom, while taking full advantage of the latest and greatest innovations. And since it's officially licensed by the United States Marine Corps, you can rest assured the USMC Blackout is in it for the long haul.
