AL MAR KNIVES 3009 Special Forces
The 3009 Special Forces fixed combat and survival knife comes in several versions, including two commemorative ones in honour of Colonel James ROWE, a soldier who survived captivity during the Vietnam War by escaping.
Years later, he founded the SERE School, and was a close friend of Al Mar.

Condition of the knife 5/10: the knife has been used and both the blade and the handle are scratched. The markings have been milled off in an unprofessional manner.
Sheath condition 9/10: the sheath is in good condition, just a little faded from its 40 years, but it fares better than the knife.

Our verdict: A superb piece from Al Mar in average condition.
Perhaps not very desirable from a collector's point of view, it becomes very interesting from a use point of view!
