AL MAR SERE 3003 SF

Produced in SEKI, Japan, in the 80s, with first-rate materials and top-level construction, nothing scares 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 3003 bears the logo of the American special forces (which is not always the case).

Technical specifications :

Overall length 25.8cm

11cm, 4mm thick AUS-6A stainless steel blade

Polished and engraved stainless steel bolsters

Kraton plates with brass medallion inserts bearing the AL MAR Knives logo

Internal brass plates

Lanyard hole

Lockback locking system

Original leather sheath

Perfect markings, tips and cutting edges

Condition of the knife 9/10

A few small scratches due to the blade unfolding (inevitable with this SERE family)

The handle is a tiny bit damaged in the centre (see photos) due to the snap on the inside of the sheath.

Case condition 9.5/10

Rarity index in this condition 9/10

Supplied in a black nylon zipped pouch.

Our opinion :

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

This military version is visually stunning, and in the hand, it's a beast!

If you had to have just one of the brand's folders, it would definitely be a model in the SERE series.
