Al Mar Knives decals and cigar. Knife Memorabilia Collection. We only have one of the cigar to sell and very limited quantities of the decal.All the items on this page are very unique Al Mar ephemera and hard to find. They are some of the ultimate items to add your collection. Al Mar was working for an industrial design firm in Los Angeles in 1967. Gerber's first designer retired about this time and Al Mar joined Gerber Legendary Blades in 1967 or 68 (American Blade magazine Dec. 1976) after Pete Gerber gave Al the task of coming up with an aluminum handle for a kitchen knife. Pete Gerber thought the project was very successful and offered Al the position of design chief. Did you know that Al is credited with designing the Gerber Mark I. He left Gerber in 1979 to start Al Mar Knives and he died in October of 1992. Al was 54 years old. The new owners have now discontinued most of the original models and moved to other makers on the remaining models. This leaves the knives made while Al was in control of the company very desirable and collectible! Mar is Chinese for horse.

Al Mar cigar and is the one on the bottom
center in the photo above. It is mint with paper ring
around the cigar in plastic wrap. The paper ring has AMK and the red logo.
The cigar is 6-1/2" by 3/4". A great addition for the Havana Clipper by Al Mar
but much harder to find. Perfect for any cigar aficionado or Al Mar collector. I think it is the shape known as parejo, which has a cylindrical body, straight sides, one end open, and a round cap on the other end which is either snipped off before smoking or a small hole is punched in the center of the end.
