I ran across an AL MAR knife that is marked UTILITY MODEL II on the box. I can’t find anything on this one but I did see where a Mode III sold for a pretty good price. Can I get some information on the Model II?
Approx. 3 1/8” closed.
The blade is approx. 2” long.
The tang is stamped “SEKI-JAPAN”.
The blade is engraved “AL MAR” and logo.

to AAPK, I.D.!

If I'm not mistaken your Al Mar is a rather rare model. I recently saw one online, I think it was at ebay, and it had quite a high price attached to it. I believe if you go to ebay and search items from "eprague", and/or, "twst.reb.v9eze0n", you can view theirs, I think! That's a nice knife you have, should you ever sell it be sure to get paid well and not just give it away!
