Product Description
Designed in the 1980s by the late Al Mar and Nick Rowe for the S.E.R.E (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) school of the US army, this folder packs a serious pedigree. Known as one of the strongest designs ever made, the S.E.R.E Read More
Yet again available for the same or lower price on Amazon with immediate shipping. I hate that it's become necessary for me to do that check before purchasing now.
64$ for 8cr13mov steel?? And it’s assisted opening? This is basically an over priced kershaw. Assisted opening just covers up a crappy action of a knife. This knife is junk and expensive junk at that!
Weren't Al Mar knives originally made in Japan with VG10 steel?
If they're going to move production to China, they should be making production knives like WE, Civivi, Kizer, etc. Makes me sad they're asking $60-70 for just Al Mar's name. Especially when this is the going price outside of DROP.
Not appealing at all.
If I am going to buy a Chinese folder, it will be one of the many others sold here by We, and others offering lots of features and quality for a bargain rather than a bunch of spin offs milking all it can get from a once respected name in cutlery.
Why would anyone want this as an assisted cheapie version of the old classic. I have several original SEREs and even one that is double action auto/manual SERE made by Butch Vallotton...they flip out slick as snot with a simple thumbstud...this thing is a flipper and still needs assisted opening? No thanks, and it looks like a cheap knockoff using Al Mar name. I'll pass since the original blows this thing away.
Wow...that's what mines worth now?? LOL....hello ebay. Just kiddin. I think I got mine back in the day (probably) 15 years ago or so for a few hundred. That said, the original SEREs fly out so smooth, and have no need for assisted springs....its strange a true flipper with tab would even need that was the real point.
naw, old al mars are a classic. because they dont make then anymore. company isnt owned by the family anymore, which is why we have..... stuff like this
Just curious still. I own a early 2000 mini sere, and have heard them talked up (no doubt nice, but come on now). I’m actually tempted just for comparison, but bambam67, if you know where to get it cheaper, as you say, please speak up. I’ll give an honest comparison.
Why not the D2 version? $64,- seems like a bit on the high side even for D2 that's made in China, but here materials and execution are not justified when looking at the competition... #pass
I really wish DROP would include at least one top down or 3/4 view, I'm sick of leaving the page to get an idea of blade thickness or liner construction.
Here's how to do it:
