There are/were some serious Al Mar collectors and experts on these forums. They seem to have diminished. But hopefully there remain some who can answer your questions. I'd like to find a good source for the tang stamp identifications and dates myself, not because I'm a collector, but because it's an interesting topic that I've never seen addressed.

Anyone knows what's happening with Al Mar Knives?
Hi all, I have been scouring the Internet regarding information on Al-Mar and I can hardly find a thing. It has been said that they have been acquired by Edge Technologies Engineering LLC https://sgbonline.com/edge-technologies-acquires-al-mar-knife-brand/...
