I was always a fan of Al Mar knives and found out their headquarters were near where I live in Portland. I reached out and got to spend an afternoon with the owner, Gary Fadden. Super nice guy, really enthusiastic about keeping the Al Mar knives line alive. I own a few of them and they are hands down some of the most finely finished knives I own. Beautiful designs and incredibly crafted. We had a long conversation about why he uses AUS-8 for his blades, he said he spends more on his heat treating than anything else. The Al Mar knives are recognized for what metal can be when it's heat treated correctly. I'm really happy to see these collaborations coming out and keeping the designs of Al Mar alive.
