Leatherneck-sf, D2 Tool Steel, 2017 Model

Gives away Leatherneck-sf, D2 Tool Steel, 2017 Model

Leatherneck® SF tool steel blade, D2, black powder coated

The word leatherneck (= ledernacken ) has been synonymous with the renowned us marines since 1776, when the united states congress passed a resolution requiring all marines to wear a tall, thick leather collar (popularly known at the time as a stock ). this collar was intended to serve two purposes: first, it was to protect the neck from saber and sword blows, and second, it required the soldier to always keep his head erect to demonstrate the military posture that was established at the time.

Cold Steel® This series of rugged, combat-ready fixed knives features two different iconic blade types, both very popular with the U.S. military:

- The leatherneck®-sf (= semper-fidelis , Latin for always faithful ) has a beautiful, hand-drawn clip-point blade.

- The leatherneck®-tanto is equipped with Cold Steels®'s own American tanto blade, which has a strong, reinforced tip and is therefore even more stable.

Both blades are forged from D2 tool steel. D2 is a tough, durable, air-hardening tool steel with high rust resistance. This steel has been used for decades by industrial knife makers, small knife makers, and hobbyists to produce robust knives, for example for hunting and other outdoor activities.

The finishing touches are given to the leathernecks® leaves with a matte black powder coat.

To prevent your fingers from slipping forward and coming into contact with the sharp edge, Leathernecks® is equipped with first-class hand protection. The solid steel guard is slightly curved forward and offers excellent protection. During daily work, interference caused by the guard is minimal.

The particularly wide, continuous tang is supported by a fully coated Kray-Ex™ handle. Its ergonomic, oval cross-section and unique finger groove ensure an unsurpassed grip. The large handle cap is made of machined steel (not a cheap cast or plastic part like many other models) and can therefore also be used as a hammer if necessary.

For secure and comfortable carrying in all situations, each knife comes with a rugged and versatile secure-ex® military-style sheath, including a fully removable, ambidextrous belt loop.
