Hi All,

I'm not what you would call a collector, just have what looks nice to me. I have quite a few numbered Al Mars, (had a number at one time) Bokers and older Pumas and one or two hand mades.

Today I went to a knife show and took 4 Al Mars that were near duplicates and ones I wasn't emotionally attached to wondering if I might swap them for something I fancied.

Long story short, one of the knives I ended up with in a deal is a NIB 8" Al Mar/Chris Reeve CRC 003 155/200 DOM Aug. 13,1999.

Anyone know the story on these? I would appreciate any info.

Thanks,

Don

stdon,

Al Mar had a number of limited production knives,usually 200 count of his various designs, made in Seki, Japan. The production date is after Al Mar passed on. So, the company has carried on a successful tradition.

I am not a collector but was a friend of Al's. I am fortunate to have received gifts from Al of some of his non-produced prototype designs which I cherish.
