Question

Post by miked32 » Fri Mar 17, 2023 8:20 pm

Had six little knives stolen out of mailbox I had ordered. I was sure wondering what the 4th one down was. With yellow handle. Any ideas?

It looks to be an Al Mar knife

I agree with Mark. Al Mar Osprey or maybe an Al Mar Hawk.

Thank you. That’s the first time that has happened to me. Post office says they were on top of my driveway when it was scanned. He has got in a bad habit of leaving the door open. I believe someone just couldn’t resist. I was anxiously awaiting their arrival. Had one of them little switchblades along time ago.

With every fiber of my being, I hate to say that it happens, but it does.

The exact same thing happened to me. I had a Compact Disc (CD) in transit to me with all of my military information on it. The disc was requested by the Department of Veterans Affairs and I planned to use the information on it to benefit me in my retirement.

I called the Post Office the same day it was "Delivered" because I never got it. Same deal. It was scanned in my driveway. That was more than 2 years ago and I still have never seen that disc. The Department of Veterans Affairs ordered a second disc and I never got that one either. The whole thing was just a huge waste of time.

Post office said there was nothing they could do. They had done their job. Thought about asking around the local store. There is a couple people I see sometimes walk by. I’m gonna ask them if they seen anyone in my mailbox. I know it won’t do a bit of good. But it did make me invest in some cameras. I know something else could have happened to them. But I can’t stand a thief.

Sorry to hear about the loss, but the knife does appear to be an Al Mar Osprey, because it does have the ring on the end so that it can fit on a keychain. The Al Mar hawk did not have the keyring loop.
Judging from the color I would say it was one of the early Al Mar as it's made with the original Ivory micarta handles. A rare knife and they usually bring a pretty good price, though that one seems to have been used a good bit, it still could bring $100 or more to the right collector.

That REALLY sucks, Mike.
I can't say I've ever experienced a mailbox theft, but every time Customs seizes a knife from my mail it feels like I've been robbed!
This is just the tip of the iceberg in relation with what's wrong with this world, it's gonna get so much worse when the masses start fighting back.
I am in full agreement with Dale that the knife in question is an Al Mar "Osprey"!
