Al Mar back-up

AUS8, 3" hawk, 4" tanto. they look nice, imo.

The handles look too flat for me and the pricing is high for AUS8 knives that are so simple to make. Best price I can find is around $120.

I bought the Al Mar Operator in S30V for only $145. A much superior offering IMHO.

However, these knives are more for concealment than the Operator with their thin handles and "tight against the body style" sheaths.

Count me as a guy who favors thin handle scales for the ease of carry they confer. The price is a tad steep, though. Are factory kydex sheaths available?

Way, way overpriced. Sheesh. For that you could almost buy the Shiva. What is AMK's front office thinking? Passing on this 'un. :thumbdn:

If this niche were not already filled for me, I give either of these a go, but I would prefer a sheath that could be mounted horizontally. I guess I'd also opt for a little less blade length for concealed carry.

I think of my razor-sharp Beretta AUS 8 knives for $28.......
