USMC M-A3005GN "The Few The Proud" Spring Assisted Knife – Green Handle Tanto with Spine Serrations
Product Description
Semper Fi Style. Tactical Reliability.
Equip yourself with the USMC M-A3005GN Spring Assisted Knife, a battle-ready folder officially licensed by the United States Marine Corps. This model swaps the standard black for a tactical OD Green handle, offering a distinct military aesthetic that pairs perfectly with camouflage gear and outdoor loadouts.
Designed for heavy-duty utility, the knife features a 3.5-inch Tanto blade forged from 3Cr13 stainless steel. The blade is finished with a non-reflective black coating and features aggressive spine serrations (sawback) for cutting through tough fibrous materials like rope or webbing without dulling your primary edge. The handle is built from durable, textured nylon fiber for a lightweight yet rock-solid grip in any weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the "sawback" on the top of the blade for?
A: The heavy serrations on the spine (top) of the blade are designed for sawing through hard or fibrous materials—like thick rope, seatbelts, or small branches—that might otherwise damage the fine cutting edge of the blade.
Q: Is the green handle slippery?
A: No. The handle is made from injection-molded nylon fiber with a deep, diamond-plate texture and rubberized feel. This ensures a secure, non-slip grip even if your hands are wet, muddy, or gloved.
Q: Is this knife legal to carry?
A: This is a spring-assisted knife, not an automatic switchblade. You must manually push the flipper tab to start the opening action. This makes it legal in most US states, but you should always check your specific local laws regarding blade length and carry style.
