Listing is for First USMC edition ever made. Comes with 2 sets of scales.
**See "Price Reduction" tab regarding pricing and condition.**
Resin ivory scales (formal set) are done to most closely match the design inspiration of the USMC Officers Mameluke sword. They are hand-fit to the knife and hand finished.
MARPAT digital camo micarta scales (field set) are very unique in that they have the actual feel of the U.S.M.C. utility uniform the material comes from. They also have the "salty" (weathered) look instead of the brand new material look. Very difficult set of scales to make like this and future sets will likely be slightly different since it took 6 tries and 4 scrapped sets of micarta to achieve this. Process is still not easily repeatable. Fitting to frame is "field grade" and not as precise as other scale sets since the normal hand fitting process would have changed the very unique feel of these.
The blade is engraved with USMC on the spine and has a small visual defect on right side of blade which was imprinted from blade straightening during hardening. Normally, we would not make a knife with a defect like this available for purchase but we have chosen to release since this this blade is truly the first engraved with USMC and a replacement blade would not come from 2019 and would not make this knife truly made in 2019.
This knife is the only USMC edition knife made to date. No other 2019 knives where made in this version. We have chosen to make this very first knife available to a US Marine only. All future sales of this edition are open to everyone with verified U.S. Marines receiving a discount. Certification notes 1st U.S.M.C. edition made.
As with all Dengr Fieldstrip Folder knives, future blade/parts offerings will be interchangeable easily with this knife.

Price Reduction:
Discount for visual defects is enough to purchase an additional new or upgraded blade as well as re-coat the knife frame. Normally, we would not let this past quality checks and post for sale but a new blade and re-coating would put manufacture in 2020. Since this is 1 of only 12 knives made in 2019, we feel more value in rarity is provided by selling as it was made in 2019.
