I would think this is a very rare set.
None of my business, but it would be sad to see it broken up.

They are referred as Quick Silver in Al-Mars older catalogue before his death so I will go with that . There is 3 variation of the Quick Silver as you can see from the phot I shared . & yes I will sell any in my store . I may have a few more that's not in the store just tell me which one you are looking to getMadmarco wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 12:03 am O.K. Gary, thanks! I don't blame you for not wanting to break-up the set, was just asking. Also, in some of your pics I'm seeing 3 Secret Service stilettos side-by-side. I'm calling them that because that's how they were described on ebay, but, when I looked at the one in your store, you called it a Quicksilver. I went to the Al-Mar website and the knife that they are calling Quicksilver is somewhat different. It doesn't have a bail, and also has duel "flippers" instead of a thumb-stud, and is 11 1/4", and yours is 7 7/8". I'm wondering if you would part with 1 of them, or do you consider them a set too? And, are they 7 7/8" as well? Thx!
let me look in my Al-Mar Knives tomorrow and see if I have a plain edge that's my preference alsoMadmarco wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 1:26 am Wow, I'm really confused now! The Q/S in your pics doesn't have flippers, but the one on the Al-Mar website does. I'd like to get one that's a minimum of 9" open, but, I much prefer the 11 1/4", BUT, as I said the one I saw has flippers, and would be seized by Canada Customs, but, the Jumbo in your pics doesn't appear to have flippers, so it's the model I prefer. The ONLY knives that won't be seized are models that are slip-joints, and ones with thumb-studs. If a model has both flippers and studs it will be seized and destroyed. It doesn't make a lick of sense since both models can be opened with 1 hand, other than slip-joints! DUH! Freaking government idiots! So, to answer your question, I'd like a Jumbo like the one in your pic, but, with a plain edge blade, NOT serrated. Good luck finding that huh?
I knew you had good taste in knives and that shows itMadmarco wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 10:43 pm I've had this knife for a bit, but I'm just posting it now!
It's an 8 1/2" oal Al Mar "Gameskeeper" mid-lockback, with a SS dagger blade, nicely grained black micarta covers, SS top bolster, NS butt bolster pins and guards, brass liners, and a lanyard hole.
Nice weight of almost 5 oz.'s and arrived Al Mar sharp.
Smooth n' easy pull along with similar closing.
Perfect fit and finish.
One fine knife made by the folks in Seki, Japan!
