Over 40 Years of Quality & InnovationAl Mar was born in the U.S.A.; the son of Chinese immigrants. He served in a Special Forces Reserve Unit and volunteered to serve in a Green Beret special operations group in Vietnam. After serving in Vietnam; Al completed his college education by earning a master�s degree in industrial design from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.He went on to work at Gerber® Legendary Blades under Pete Gerber; concluding his tenure there as “Head of Knife Design.”In 1979; Al founded AL MAR® Knives. His mission was to blend mass production methods with custom knife quality. At first; the majority of his knives were designed for police and military; because of his vast experiences as a practitioner of Judo and Kendo and his history as a Green Beret. In fact; Al�s S.E.R.E. (Survive-Escape-Resist-Evade) knife was the first knife accepted for use by Special Forces Colonel Nick Rowe for the S.E.R.E. Instructor School at Camp McCall North Carolina. And as the company grew; his designs evolved to include high-quality hunting/fishing; kitchen; and gentlemen�s gift knives.Al Mar was a life member of the Special Forces Association; a member of the Special Operations Association; and a reserve deputy sheriff. He was inducted into both the Fighting Knives Magazine and Blade Magazine Hall of Fame. Al Mar was a man worthy of the highest respect.Today; we continue his mission to make knives with custom-quality design and innovation.
