al mar knives

Al Mar was born in the U.S.A., the son of Chinese immigrants. He served in a Special Forces Reserve Unit and volunteered to serve in a Green Beret special operations group in Vietnam. After serving in Vietnam, Al completed his college education by earning a master’s degree in industrial design from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.  

He went on to work at Gerber® Legendary Blades under Pete Gerber, concluding his tenure there as “Head of Knife Design.”

In 1979, Al founded AL MAR® Knives. His mission was to blend mass production methods with custom knife quality. Al’s SERE (Survival-Evasion-Resistance-Escape) knife was the first knife accepted for use by Special Forces Colonel Nick Rowe for the SERE Instructor School at Camp Mackall NC.

Al Mar was a life member of the Special Forces Association, a member of the Special Operations Association, and a reserve deputy sheriff. He was inducted into both the Fighting Knives Magazine and Blade Magazine Hall of Fame. Al Mar was a man worthy of the highest respect.

Today at SUNEX, we continue his mission to make knives with custom-quality design and innovation.
