USMC Vietnam 50th Anniversary small lockback knife
2 7/8 inch (73mm) Knife Bronze Antique with Enamel
A half-century ago, the United States Marine Corps courageously joined the war to prevent communist aggression and liberate the people of South Vietnam.From protecting the key airbase at Da Nang, to laying down the protective McNamara line, to repelling the Tet Offensive, United States Marines showed their unwavering dedication to the mission and serving their country. Because of the tenacity and skill of the Marine Corps, not to mention the Marine ability to improvise under extraordinary circumstances, the communist forces suffered far greater casualties time and time again.These heroes, though callously disregarded in their time by some, were bound together by a common enemy, fate, topography, and politics. Now, inspired by The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration, those who belong to this elite club called Vietnam Veterans can carry this meticulously crafted knife as a firm reminder of your proud service to your country.Made in the USA – of course! – the 50th Anniversary Small Lockback Knife is a thank you to the warriors who put their lives at risk on America's behalf. Featuring a single, stainless steel blade that clicks audibly into place when opened, it contains a durable, die-struck handle accented with intricate design. The front features a fully enameled replica of the Vietnam Service Medal ribbon with an American eagle surrounding the words “service, valor, sacrifice,” and the ordinal “50th” and the legend, “Vietnam War” completing the design. The reverse contains the seal of the Marine Corps opposite the Marine mascot.Struck in bronze, the knife handle is coated with an antique nickel finish creating a classic look.
