What knife is this?

Hello all,
I’m new to the forum and hoping to learn a bit about knives. Does anyone know the model, steel and year this Al Mar was made?

Thats a Grunt or grunt 2, made in Seki so probably AUS-8 steel. I could be wrong.

That's an Al Mar Grunt with the 5 1/2" blade. The Grunt 2 is larger with a 7 7/8" blade and different grind.
Both made in the 1980s for Al Mar by G. Sakai, Seki in Aus6.

Thanks for the reply. Very thorough.
