Wow, that's a lotta handle if that's a 4" blade--that's why I thought it was shorter than the wood handled SERE that I've seen so often. The placement of the Chop logo and the Al Mar name closer to the handle adds to that impression as well. Never seen either in person, though.

Keyopp Keyopp , your pics are always spectacular. In fact, I’m starting to think you should do an annual “BladeForums” calendar.

We (see what I did there) could bank some serious coin selling them on the forum alone. Toss in some advertising space and a few big-time sponsors…..and we’ll be golden, baby!

Cha-to the frikkin’-ching!!!

But seriously, the photos are always awesome and I enjoy them.

OK but, I get all the free product samples when you (see what I did there) start onboarding the big name sponsors.

… and also seriously, thank you. I try to post something cool, nice to know it’s received that way.

Sweet Al Mar. Looks very reminiscent of a SERE, but shorter with a differently ground swedge. What model is that?

Its a 4" SERE folder, Chazz. Some of the incarnations had glass-filled nylon scales with the Special Forces Crest on the bolster. Others, were micarta with the blade featuring Al's gold-cartouche. The fixed-blade is a 5th Special Forces [Abn] bowie. The reconstituted Al Mar Knives makes a 40th Anniversary version of this folder, with 3.6" blade.

These newer folders are liner-locks, mine is a back-lock.
