Any opinions on this Al Mar hollow handle?

[Kevronicus]

I really miss my Gerber BMF. Nothing quite like a big 440C blade for hard use (and easy sharpening) in the woods.
I know the downsides of cheap hollow handles, I'm just not that familliar with Al Mar quality.

Thanks,
K.

YIKES!!
Is that an older Al Mar or a new offering?

Isn't that the Al Mar Green Beret?... It has a hollow handle that is forged from one single peice of steel with the blade... its not like those cheap rambo knives that has no tang.. its actually got one big tang .. but the tang is hollow... its something like the Chris Reeve Aviator i believe.

Dont know much about that knife, but do know that I have 3 al mars and have seen who knows how many at the store, and Al Mar has quality written all over them, I doubt that is a "cheap" made knife if its from Al Mar.
