Al Mar was a custom knifemaker who passed away several years ago. He made the Al Mar line of knives which is still beeing produced today.[1]

He is amongst other things known as the Mar in the Mar/McBurnette frontlock. He was also known for quite a hot temper and is reported to have physically chased another knife industry person around, at the 1992 Blade show, after a dispute. Al Mar is credited for having helped Sal In the beginning of Spyderco.

This quote is an Al Mar quote and this author believes it sums up nicely a lot of the things he stood for:

“Combat Knife is actually 10% weapon and 90% tool.”
