A. G. Russell AL MAR "Ultralight" Knife Vintage "First Production Run" I have up for sale one of my all-time favorite knives that I have collected, and I have collected for over sixty years. Started collecting at ten years old and I am now in my seventys. I bought this A. G. Russell AL MAR "Ultralight Falcon" Knife, about thirteen years ago from my favorite knife dealer, (AG Russell), and who can describe this better then AG himself. So if I can quote from his 2000 Christmas Catolog. (Start of quote), "Gary Faldon, a fellow Green Beret and friend of Al Mar's has taken charge of the AL Mar company. He is fousing on the best made, and best selling ultralight designs. These knives are made with 'linerless" black linen micarta handles which I, (AG Russell), [added by me to let you know who "I" is], pioneered and designed in the early 1970's. A great way to make a strong lightweight folding knife. These knives have handles of the finest black micarta, and have flat ground drop point blades, of AU58A at 57-59Rc (razor sharp) with a thumb stud for quick and easy opening. The larger Falcon comes with a removable and reversible pocket clip", (end of quote). If I may add that this knife is the larger and in my opinion nicer "Falcon". A 4" folder with a 3 1/4" flat ground blade which is 1/16" thick and 5/8" wide. Weighs only 1.5 oz. has a front lock design for added strength. This knife when held feels like an extention of your hand and is one of the stongest knives I ever owned. I bought two of these; one for my personal collection, (which is the one I am selling), and one for use. I have put the one I carry through extreme use and "torture", such as putting this knife through my bathroom door and this knife went through like I put it in butter with-out any kind of wobble or even the slightest bend of the blade. I still carry this amazing knife to this day. This knife is specialy made for features like shock resistance and outright toughness with a very light 1.5oz. weight. All my items are stored in a temperature controlled safe from the time of purchase. This knife was never carried, used, or even cleaned. Never taken out of safe except for these pictures and then returned into my safe. Pristine condition. If you are not completely satisfied with this knife when you receive it, I will refund your money in full with no questions asked as long as item is returned to me in same condition as specified in my listing and when received. So buy with confidence. The knife pictured is the knife you will receive. Circumstances force me to reluctantly sell this very rarely offered knife from my personal collection. Because of the storm "Sandy" that almost destroyed New Jersey and New York, I am selling some of my personal and most valuable knives to help pay for the re-building of my home and "cost over-runs". I will be glad to answer any questions that I can. Simply I will respond within 24 hours, (probably much sooner). You must be 18 years of age or older to bid on my listings. Shipping Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation and Insurance is FREE. This knife is the original A.G. Russell AL MAR "Ultralight" Knife. Vintage "First Production Run. Not the ones that are made today. Vintage Model#1005UBK2. At the time of my listing I could not find another 1005UBK2, mostly all 02's and 03's. I found one "Eagle" with 05 in burgundy handles for $199. "This knife is an extremely rare "once in a lifetime" opportunity to own one of the finest knives ever produced on the planet. Must be at least 18 years old to bid and purchase. You are solely responsible for compliance with all knife & safety laws in your local area. Comes with the original box.
