Day 27MP600 with my latest fixed blade.
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, JapanAi Mar died in 1992 and his widow died in 2017In early 2019 Al Mar Knives was sold to a Maryland USA company Edge Technologies Engineering LLCThe 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.
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?
Day 27Here is the blunt nose I'm using today, who is welcoming my Dime, my most recent Gerber.
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. 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 Afghanistanat 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.
What a great report on time shared with your youngster!

That No. 8 has character!
Day 27On 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!
I've had a couple of those moments but who would have known? Good for you on selling that SERE back Vicman!
Day 28: Opening a snack! I apologize for the out of focus pic.
Day 28Had to adjust the blade on the bandsaw a little bit for some signs I'm working on building
Day 28MP600 seen with 2 Kuksa. Some day I'd like to hand carve one, but until then, here are two store bought ones.
Thank you Vicman and Barry!
