I'll do just that and thank you Vicman!  I loved his designs, and would love to find one of his multitools.
Wasn't he a designer for Pete Gerber?   
I love my Al Mar Sere 2000! :) (I actually have 3 of them....one has the black blade)

They have VG10 blades and were made in Seki City, Japan

Ai Mar died in 1992 and his widow died in 2017

In early 2019 Al Mar Knives was sold to a Maryland USA company Edge Technologies Engineering LLC

The current Al Mar Sere 2020 knives in my opinion are not as good. The current ones have D2 blades and a flipper and are made in China . The quality is not the same.

If I was you, I would try to find an Al Mar Sere 2000 that was made in Seki City, Japan.

Yes, Al Mar was a designer for Gerber.

I used to have one of his multitools and like an idiot i traded it off for a knife I just had to have at the time.  :facepalm:     

 I should have kept it.

I also used to have an early Al Mar Sere that was quite a bit larger, but the guy who sold it to me had a son in the service that was going to Afghanistan
at the time and asked if I would sell it back to him for what I paid for it so he could give it to his son for his deployment.

I couldn't turn him down because that is exactly what the knife had been designed to be used for. His son was glad to get it. :)

Day 27



Kind of a busy day in the Jones household. Started the day helping the wife with taking down the Christmas decorations in the living room. I don’t know about you, but for me it is a bitter sweet feeling. Only thing left inside is some garland and the bare tree. It is so sad sitting there with no lights or ornaments. At noon, we ventured in to Seattle and parked at Westlake. From there we caught the monorail to Seattle Center. and saw the Holiday Train Set at the Armory. After that the youngling expresses a desire to visit the EMP, the Experience Music Project. When I mentioned EMP, my wife gave me a sideways glance and said, don’t you mean MoPop. I guess some time ago they changed the name to the Museum of Popular Culture. Anyway, we had a great time exploring the exhibits. Later on, we caught the monorail back to Westlake. On the way back the youngling started to fall asleep, so we cut our adventure a little short and head back across the floating bridge and home. Sorry for the long winded post, we are just really enjoying spending some time with the little ones.

Great posts today, guys!

Hope yours is as good!

MP600 seen with 2 Kuksa.   Some day I'd like to hand carve one, but until then, here are two store bought ones.
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.
