Question about Al Mar Osprey

Post by knifeaholic » Sun Mar 19, 2023 3:57 pm

I recently got this Osprey - the tang mark is one that I have never seen, and no country of origin is marked. Can anyone help me as to age and country of origin?

Steve Moki did a run for AL-Mar with that stamp but still should have the country of origin on it . Around 2000 . Have you tried posting it on Facebook in Vintage Al-Mars you should get a response there pretty quick. I've had Al-mar with that stamp, but they all had the country of origin and the Moki Had their stamp on the back
