Description
CS39LSF: 39LSF Leatherneck-SF
Cold Steel
 
The word 'Leatherneck' 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 this series of battle ready knives.

The series has two distinct blade styles. Both are made from German 4116 Stainless steel and finished with a rich Tuff-Ex&trage; non reflective coating:

The Leatherneck-SF (for Semper-Fi) has a saber ground clip point blade. It's hollow ground and honed by hand to a startling razor sharpness.

The Leatherneck-Tanto features a Cold Steel style Tanto blade. It's incredibly sharp blade is 7" long and hollow ground by hand.

To keep the fingers from sliding forward onto their keen edge, the Leathernecks come with a substantial guard. It's made of thick steel with double quillons that are turned slightly forward and provide excellent protection for your hand (especially in close combat) while offering minimal interference in the use of these knives when performing utility tasks.

The handles are made of deeply checkered Kraton® that totally encloses the knives' extra wide full tang. They offer unsurpassed gripping power through their palm hugging oval cross section and unique finger trough. They're capped with a thick, machined steel butt cap (not cheap casting like others) so they can also deliver frightful blows with the butt or double in an emergency as a hammer.

To carry the Leatherneck knives safely and conveniently in all environments, they come with a sturdy Secure-Ex sheath complete with fully detachable and ambidextrous belt loop.

PREPPERS ALERT
Needed a Survival Knife for my "go bag." Thought about a K-Bar but the Leatherneck is much better choice. Strong, well made, and sharp as Hell. Feels good in your hand and will handle all requirements of a survival knife. Looks good too.

Pros: Sheath/Scabbard, None
Cons: Blade Material
Just sad.
Cold Steel had an extremely well-built knife with the sk5 steel but ruined their knife with that crappy 4116 steel they use now.

Pros: Blade Sharpness, Overall Quality, Handle Material, Finish
Cons: Blade Material, None
There is a rumor that Cold Steel switched from SK-5 to 4116 for the Leatherneck because of "overseas military contracts." I have no way of substantiating this. I do like the high sabre grind on the new ones. The fit of the Kraton to the tang is a bit better than on my 2011 model. I have no complaints about the balance - it's slightly handle heavy, which makes the blade feel fast.
