Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 542:
Description
This lot consists of a pair of contemporary folding tactical rescue knives produced by MTech USA. Each knife features a black-coated stainless steel blade with a clip point profile, partially serrated edge, and dual weight-reducing cutouts. The blades are etched with the United States Marine Corps Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (EGA) emblem above the text MARINES and the motto THE FEW. THE PROUD. On the blade tang near the thumb stud, the MTech USA logo is visible, consisting of a lowercase m and h with a registered trademark symbol ®. The knives utilize a spring-assisted opening mechanism with a thumb stud and a liner lock for secure deployment.
The handles are constructed of black synthetic material with textured wood-grain grip panels. Integrated into the handle design are several emergency rescue features, including a seatbelt cutter and a tungsten-reinforced glass breaker pommel. A circular metal medallion featuring the USMC EGA emblem is inset into the grip panel, and the bolster features an incised five-point star within a circle. Each knife is housed in its original retail box, which displays an American flag background and the USMC EGA emblem. The box text includes OFFICIALLY LICENSED and USMARINESKNIVES.COM, with the MTech USA logo printed on the top flap.
Condition report:
