Al Mar Quickclip
on: June 06, 2009, 02:56:59 PM
This is a very nice NIB Al Mar Quickclip , sold by a chap off loading his entire Al Mar Collection(over 50 knives & tools) the auction was only open too US ebay users  :(. I contacted the seller & he let me bid as long as it was shipped to a US address. I have Bob to thank for receiving & shipping on to me this ace MT  :cheers: Bob.
The REALLY cool thing about my Quickclip is it is number 190 of 200. Going by Bob's resources in the Tool Encyclopedia Al used to get 200(numbered 1-200) knives/tools made & distributed amongst Al Mar dealers. If response was good Al would then go ahead & produce larger volumes of the knife/tool.So I have a pre production Quickclip  :D :D.

Pretty isn't . My other Al Mar (4x4) does not have the Al Mar corporate logo on either of it's blades.

Pliers are virtually identical between the Quickclip & 4x4


http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll287/multimat426/Al%20Mar/S6302719.jpg[/img]]
The Quickclip I believe was one of the first multitools to incorporate a linner lock knife, early 1990's. It is a bit unusual in that the tools spine is also the knife's spring.


http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll287/multimat426/Al%20Mar/S6302718.jpg[/img]]
Spring inaction as knife is deployed. Compared to other linner lock knives the Quickclip's spring makes for a unusual feeling on deployment & does not 'snap' on closing  :think:.

I like the beefier 4x4 blade personally  :D

Two MT's that have borrowed from the Quickclip. The Kershaw A100 & Paul Chen Multitasker which both have one handed deploying linner lock main blades (amongst many others)

More good comparison piccies Mat! 8) I do like the QuickClip. Even though its only blade is the knife blade (no screwdrivers) the tradeoff is worthwhile because of how thin it is. Makes for a really nice pocket carry, especially with the pocket clip. :)
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

Ausj your a tough crowd to play too  :o :D. I admit the Al Mars do bare the marks of being made by hand as opposed to robotic machines. But I think that adds to their appeal.Like I did say they are easily the sharpest blades I have come across out of the box. Have you handled many Al Mars ? What faults did you see in them?

What was "regular price?"  I see them from time to time going in the $200 range.
