The officially licensed USMC Blackout Combat Double-Edged Sword is an undeniably modern take on an iconic, time-tested USMC sword design. Expertly fusing tradition and innovation, its 19 3/4” AUS-6 stainless steel, double-edged blade features a non-reflective black coating, enlarged blood groove, partial serrations and a prominent “USMC” stamp. The handle has green bands and an advanced injection molded handle that is extraordinarily durable and has 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 this sword is engineered to be Marine tough. The pommel features a steel glass-breaker, which is perfect for escaping entrapment in a wrecked vehicle or burning building, where glass windows may be the only means of exit. The tactical sword is 27 1/2” in overall length and can be carried in a heavy-duty black nylon sheath.
