Rare Vintage Al Mar Knives Blasted #5002 Road Runner USA Seki - New

Description

This vintage Al Mar knife is just out of long-term storage and is perfect for the serious collector.
A former sales rep. sample of ours, it has never been used, carried, sharpened, or sold at retail.  It was only shown to retailers, catalog companies, etc. during our approx. 12 years as sales reps. for the Mar's in 11 Western states.
This is essentially a brand new 30-year old knife and shows the precision craftsmanship and beautiful designs Al was known for.
I can't imagine that there are many bead blasted #5002 Road Runner fixed blades out there.
This is an early one too with the coveted U.S.A. Seki-Japan tang stamp.
Bead blast  3 1/2
" long blade of premium RS-30 stainless
7 1/4" OAL
Elegant tapered tang construction
Brass guard, pins, and lanyard tube
I don't know the history on this knife, but I'm guessing it was a gift or something that was special ordered.
An exciting piece and far more sinister looking as a blasted knife.
No sheath or box.
Somewhat uneven finish on the blade, but still very interesting for the completist AMK collector.
Ships in a small flat rate priority mail box for .50.  Will combine for reduced shipping if you win more than one auction.  International postage is significantly higher and depends on destination.
Please check out my other auctions for sporting goods collectibles and bid with confidence.  I have been on Ebay since 1999.  Thanks!
