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!

Beautiful shot John! Your Mora ain't too shabby either!

Thank You Mark.

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.

And I'm sure it would have sliced through those tough ole' pineapples with ease Garry!

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

Yikes! I'm glad I don't live there!

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

John

A very impressive knife,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.

Beautiful knife OH.____Dave

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

Garry.. I am enjoying each and every knife that you are posting!!
Keep going!!!
John

Beautiful skinner Garry! It reminds me of the Kershaw 1050 series knife! Very nice!

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.

OH & QS, Both are nice looking knives!

QS, nice PH-2, those have great ergonomics. Ken, thank you! OH

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.

Thank you Cal (on both counts). OH

That looks very Japanese. Hamon, yes? And sharkskin? I like that knife a lot.
