In 1979, AL MAR created "Specialty Cutlery" with the introduction of unique designs, produced at quality levels that rivaled custom, hand-made knives. AL MAR made the first tactical folder, which is the forerunner of their SERE 2000 and they introduced the original AL Mar "Front Lock" into production.
Today, AL MAR continues to make every blade using the finest steels, scale materials and heat treatment available. Al Mar's knives are assembled, finished and sharpened all by hand, by craftsmen dedicated to creating the very best knives you can buy.
