The full tang Tanto blade is made with Ti dipped,420 stainless steel and incorporates serrations about halfway down the working edge of the blade. The butt features a glass breaker and bottle opener.
The injection molded sheath is PALS or belt compatible, drains easily, and features a quick thumb release.

This is USMC Veteran Greg Medford’s take on an American classic. The USMC Fighter offers a .250” thick S35VN PVD blade. Measuring almost 12” in total length, it features 3-D surfaced multi-colored G-10 scales, a 2-piece interlocking Ti PVD hilt and solid Ti PVD pommel. This unique full tang design has all the upside of a classic hidden-tang “slide-over” hilt construction with none of the compromises in strength.
It comes complete with a Brown leather sheath.
