I must be crazy because I just ordered four more Al-Mar knives from A.G. Russell like ten minutes ago. I already have an SERE 2000 that I carry daily and love. So the knives I ordered are a Nomad, a Shrike, a SERE Operator, and a Al-Mar 6" Chefs Utility knife with wood handle. Plus I ordered the three 6" DMT Diamond Stones in a Cherry Wood Box. I must be crazy to spend this kind of money. My only defense is that the Chefs Knife and the SERE Operator are going to be gifts for my dad.
