Well built and strong

I bought the Al Mar SERE 40th anniversary edition mainly because it is a stout knife. I needed a folding knife that had a thick spine and strong locking mechanism. For example - I use this knife for puncturing holes into objects….mainly when helping the wife with gardening/yard work…often times those plastic planters do not have holes in the bottom for drainage..it’s easier for me just to use a pocket knife to quickly put drainage holes with a pocket knife rather than go get a drill out. This knife did it easily, and because of its weight it did so with less effort. I view a folding knife as more of tool than anything else, and use it accordingly. And this a great for both, knife and tool…(god I feel like tool writing this) Mainly, I wanted a heavy duty utility folding knife with the the flipper option. Something I would not be afraid to use and abuse…I carried around a Opinel for awhile, but almost broke it…tried a thinner folding knife, but was worried about breaking the tip - S.O.G Salute Mini.. this Al Mar SERE also is big enough to manipulate with work gloves on…

Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Handle Material, Pocket Clip, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness

Cons: None

IT GOES WITH ME EVERYWHERE.

SPEEDY SERVICE. USE THIS FOR EVERYTHING. REPLACED MY SPYDERCO AS THE BLADE IS THICKER MORE HEAVY DUTY. D2 MY FAVORITE STEEL AS ITS EDGE RETENTION IS BETTER THEN THE AUS - 8 AND NOT HARD TO SHARPEN. FIRST BLOOD RAMBO JIMMY LILE BLADES WERE D2 AND HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1914. BRAIED A COBRA LANYARD ONTO IT. IT CUTS WITH EASE. THERES A REASON SERE PICKED IT.

Better than I had hoped

I was a little hesitant to buy a Chinese made Al Mar knife. I bout the SERE 2000 about 20 years ago and still carry it. This 40th Anniversary 2020 edition seems to be very well made and really exceeds my my expectations. Yes, it's not the same steel as my 2000, but it's still good knife steel. I love the flipper. I've been carrying this 2020 for several days and have given it light duty so far. It'll probably end up being my EDC.

Pros: Handle Material, Blade Material

Cons: Weight

beast of a knife

Pros: built like a tank, liner material extremely strong and thick. Came very sharp and opens very easily. 'Fishscale' handle texture feels good. Cons: It is on the heavy side. Some folks might take issue with the size of the handle vs. blade size. Personally, I don't. Gets a good grip in your hand. Only the weight could be considered a negative. This comes with the blade strength and overall overbuilt construction. Had a hard time not giving it a '5'.

Great

Hey, to anyone interested in this blade. It’s a heavy duty serious folder should hold up through the apocalypse! I am very impressed having owned decades ago the original Al Mar knives! Not quite as high quality but definitely worth this price! Comes stupid sharp thick heavy duty blade my particular version could of been a little tighter but that is part of my reason for this evaluation. Buy HERE NOT Amazon! My first Al Mar 40th wasn’t in the box upon opening it! Finally they sent a 2nd it’s really great but there is a tiny bit of play laterally in the blade upon lock up! But with all the hassles of dealing with Amazon my advice is; BUY HERE! If you get this knife you won’t be disappointed unless you expect the world for $40.00! Lol! It’s a great knife period especially for the cash outlay!
