Al Mar WorTac info needed

[Orion's Belt]

A friend of mine brought me a knife that belongs to his father. It is an Al Mar WorTac Auto. His father used it during his career as a police officer and hasn't touched it since he retired a few years back. He recently found it in the back of his gun safe and found that it did not fire. At first glance, it appears that the spring is broken because it doesn't seem gummed up at all. It seems like a nice well built knife and he would like to get it back into working order, but I don't think there's much I can do being that it has a broken spring. Would Al Mar replace the spring, or is he SOL? I will post pictures when my camera gets charged up.

Here are the pics:

The blade is in pretty bad shape. My friend said that his father got something corrosive on the blade, battery acid or some such.

Interesting that they wrote CM-154 instead of 154CM.

It would be cool if Gary Fadden the owner of AL MAR would fix it, but i believe (I AM NOT SURE) those knives where made PRE AL MARS passing so Gary does not back up those knives.. I could be wrong, but remember AL MARS are contracted out to other companies.. I bet that knife was made by PARAGON who makes allot of AUTOS.. Theya re well made!! GOOD LUCK!! BTW- u can find them on site from 250-350... They are sold high price cause they are collectos items

Can't hurt to shoot Al Mar an email.

Let me know if it goes up for sale.

Shoot them an email. They are slow to respond, but will eventually. I've found them to be 50/50 on warm vs. cold responses. I guess it depends on who gets to the email. Very cool knife, by the way. I'd say worth restoring, especially with all the original packaging.
