I got blindsided yesterday by one of our members who does post very much. He been a member here on AAPK about one year and he is becoming very good knife custom of mine, and a friend. Imagine my surprise when post office to pick up my mail. I thought it was odd, since I didn't have a package coming, but that was a key in my box for a package locker. I opened up the locker and there was a box side. I went out to the car and opened the box and was totally flabbergasted by what greeted! Here is an original early Al Mar!
It is an Al Mar falcon with the original box, it should be from the early 1980s, possibly 1982.
Thank you Mel! I was totally stunned. Mel and I have discussed the knife on the phone but he had said nothing about buying it little will give you get. As many of you know Al Mar was a friend of mine who spent little time wandering through the jungle as well. This is a very special gift in so many ways, the fact that it is an Al Mar is very important. I love the GE paper micarta and the scrimchaw. The fact that this is obviously hand scrimmed and #1 of 2 makes it even more special!I got blindsided yesterday by one of our members who does post very much.

An Al Mar and scrimed USMC/Viet Nam. I'll bet you about dropped your false teeth. They don't come much better than that. Congratulations Dale.

Dale, I think your knife is simply spectacular. Truly amazing for many reasons: produced by Al Mar, the subject of the knife [RVN], that Mr. Mar was your friend, that you have been gifted with this treasure by Mel, another friend. You have been mightily blessed Dale. Mightily.

I've Been Hit!!!!!!!!!!! I was expecting a Knife from TripleF, it came in today, and the Waskely Wabbit threw in a Bomb Pack with it. First one of his Great Carved Spoons, he does beautiful work. Next a Survival Lanyard which is over 12 inches long and must have at least 25 foot of Paracord involved, which also has a mini roll of duct tape, a led mini light, a multi blade screwdriver with four leaf clover for luck, a small knife lanyard, and one of his pens with some notepads. I really do appreciate it. I have already put the Survival Lanyard and Spoon with my light back pack I use when I go kayak fishing and use for day trips with overnights. Besides all the knowledge, camaraderie, and great people, it's things like this that also make this one of the greatest sites on the old interwebs.
