This USMC 250th Limited Edition NCO Sword was commissioned in honor of the Marine Corps' 250th anniversary. Only 250 swords were made and each is serialized. Only available at KA-BAR.com while supplies last.

Why? I sort of get combining their NCO sword and the grip if the Mk2 knife (even though the vast majority were made by another company and you just had the most noticeable name stamping), but this is useless to them. It can't be worn in uniform and looks wrong when displayed with other Marine Corps memorabilia because it's just wrong. So you're hoping a few new Corporals the night that they are promoted and are still drunk off their asses order these in a drunken stupor? Some old, senile NCO orders one on a good day, but before his kids put him in a home? Unknowing family order one for their son in the Marines upon his promotion thinking it will look good in his blues? Posers who just don't know any better? This seems like the Cutco marketing department got released to do their evil.
