Product Description
Official USMC Gear: Semper Fi Readiness.
Be prepared for any crisis with the USMC M-A1052BK Spring Assisted Rescue Knife. Officially licensed by the United States Marine Corps, this massive tactical folder is engineered for first responders and those who refuse to be caught off guard. It combines a combat-ready profile with essential rescue tools, making it a critical addition to your vehicle or tactical kit.
The knife features a formidable 4-inch partially serrated Tanto blade made from stainless steel with a non-reflective black finish.

The handle, built from rugged black aluminum, displays the USMC Eagle, Globe, and Anchor medallion and houses two lifesaving tools: a seatbelt cutter and a carbide glass breaker.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the USMC M-A1052BK an automatic switchblade?
A: No. It is a spring-assisted knife. It does not open with a button; you must manually initiate the opening by pushing the flipper tab on the spine. Once started, an internal spring finishes the action. This makes it legal in many more jurisdictions than automatic knives.
Q: What is the blood groove for?
A: The groove (or fuller) running along the top of the blade is primarily designed to reduce the weight of the blade without sacrificing its structural strength, similar to an I-beam in construction. It also adds to the aggressive tactical aesthetic.
Q: Can the glass breaker break any glass?
A: The carbide tip on the pommel is designed specifically to shatter tempered glass (side and rear car windows). It will typically not break laminated glass (windshields).
