That is one tough customer you have there Garry! Remember back a couple weeks when you said my new auto stiletto looked like it was made for one reason and one reason alone, well, when I look at this knife of yours fighting and killing are what first comes to mind! I wish I'd been aware of Al Mar knives way back when, because I'd have purchased some models then before their prices sky-rocketed! I would feel safe just about anywhere if I had your fighter hangin' from my hip! 8)

Marco, I am sure that blade was designed to slice pineapples in the field. As a Green Beret Mr. Mar knew how to live off the land.

It is true that among some of the hill tribes of RVN pineapples can refer to an enemy's ::uc:: head.

My son came home for Christmas and totally surprised me with this Christmas gift; custom made with a birds-eye pattern, Damascus steel blade and and Walrus/Burl grips. He asked me if I was going to use it, wants me to skin out and butcher a deer, so I will next season. I was thunderstruck that he chose so well - it is a very nice build quality as well. Never owned a Damascus steel blade before either. OH

That one is almost too beautiful to use!
(But you shouldn't let that stop you!)
That is a very nice and thoughtful gift.

Thanks gentlemen, I do hate to use it, but he’s asked me to, so I will at least once. Looking at it reminds me in style of a Buck model which I don’t remember the model number of right now. OH

Thanks Marco. If I was into skinning animals this is the knife I would likely use. I think it is a fine design;it fits my hand perfectly.

You are right OH. It was the ergonomics that sold me on the knife. It is, IMHO, an exceptional accomplishment in design.

That is a real classy knife, Bruce; by all means give it a try! And many thanks for showing it! btw, I like the sheath, too.
