AL MAR - SERE 3003 - Collector's knife

VINTAGE & COLLECTOR

AL MAR SERE 3003

Produced in SEKI, Japan, in the 1980s, with first-rate materials and top-notch construction, nothing can scare it, not even the years!

Entirely designed by Al Mar himself for extreme use and inspired by the Survive Escape Resist Evade (SERE) principles with which he helped found the military school of the same name in the USA!

Available in L (3003), M (3002), S (3001) and Micro (3000 - extremely rare) versions!

This model was engraved by the company's Master Engraver, Bob Valade, an option available at the time when ordering a knife!

This 3003 bears the signature and date on the back of the blade:

Valade 1-4-85

The knife is so sublime that its first and only owner had a plexiglass display case built for it, complete with brand patch.

A case worthy of the "jewel"!

Our opinion :

SERE folders are monuments at Al Mar; the 3003 is the largest and most prestigious

If we had to have just one of the brand's folders, it would certainly be a model from the SERE series

This engraved version, with case, original box and custom display, reaches an unparalleled pinnacle!
