Early Al Mar Hawk

[Retired W4]

Drove for an hour 20 to a new gun show in a small middle Georgia town. A knife dealer had this in one of his cases. The red box with Japanese characters caught my eye. I've been collecting Al Mar knives for 25 years, when I was going to Portland OR several times a year. I'm super happy to have this one, especially for $80.
