Since 1979, Al Mar Knives™ has been committed to making unique designs at quality levels that rival custom, handmade knives. Gary Fadden, a fellow Green Beret and friend of Al Mar's, took charge of the Al Mar knife company. He is focusing on the best selling ultralight designs and is making them in three sizes, all with the linerless micarta handle which I pioneered in the early 1970s.
World renown as one of the world's finest tactical folders - now made with a blackened blade - the Mini SERE 2000 is built to the same uncompromising standards as the full size version. Al Mar uses the same VG-10 stainless steel at 59-61 Rc, and have added a blackened blade with their new ceramic coating for corrosion and scratch resistance.
The Eagle, Al Mar's® largest classic folder has been re-introduced in 2007 with both the original fully flat ground Classic blade with a nail nick and with the new Talon blade with a deep top swedge and dual thumbstuds.

Designed by ABS Mastersmith Kirk Rexroat, the Backup models are smaller lighter fixed blades designed for all-day carry. They offer you exactly what their name tells you - they are a backup for whatever your day may bring. Each model is made of AUS-8 stainless steel at 57-59 Rc with a black Micarta® handle and leather sheath.
A brushed stainless steel Money Clip, a perfect surface for engraving something nice for your favorite person.
The Ultra-Chef Knives in Cocobolo are classic in design and state-of-the-art in performance. Each blade, except the bread knife, is 33 individual layers of stainless steel - 16 layers per side plus the center layer of VG-10 Cobalt stainless steel hardened to a Rockwell of 60-62. These knives are incredibly strong, light in the hand, well balanced and extremely sharp.
The Shiva is the first Tactical fixed blade to be made by Al Mar Knives with a laminated VG-10 stainless steel blade.
The Nomad is a slightly smaller tactical folder designed by Kirk Rexroat. It features textured black G-10 scales, a flat ground 3" blade of VG-10 stainless steel at 59-61 Rc. with dual thumbstuds. Stainless steel liners and a heavy-duty liner lock. Available in either satin finish or black chrome plated.
Gary Fadden, president of Al Mar® Knives, is focusing on producing knives from the best designs produced while Al Mar was in charge of his company. The Ultralight™ series, which Al Mar Knives began producing several years before Al died, made use of a concept that W. C. Davis and I pioneered in the early 1970s; a linerless phenolic resin (Micarta®) handle.

The SERE, (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) was designed by Al Mar and Col. Nick Rowe in the early 1980s for the the U.S. Army's SERE school. The knives now being made are stronger and use better steel than was then available for folders. This current model is a more convenient size.
The Osprey is either a small "Gentleman's" Locking Knife or a Miniature Frontlock knife. In either case, it is a pleasure to handle and to own. Features bronze liners, stainless bolsters and a front lock. Each ships with a handsome high quality leather pouch to protect it in your pocket.
The second most popular of the Al Mar elegant mid-lock folders is the Hawk (the Osprey being first). Just recently re-introduced, it is available in four handle materials.
This folder from Al Mar is called the Shrike, a very interesting tactical designed by ABS Mastersmith Kirk Rexroat.
A great little pocket piece with a clip that makes it an ideal money clip as well as holding it at the top of the pocket.
