Is Al Mar Shiva Tactical Knife Fixed value of money?
I am a big fan of Sea and looking for a quality fixed blade outdoor use hard but it seems a bit expensive.
I am very biased in the March knives So I would say, yes, it's worth the money. 
Al Mar Knives knew very well, but since he died, I do not know who is running his shop, or how things went. You should be able to find reviews seriously their knives, among the things that use "tactical" and not just for show. However, I dare say that most, like me, enjoy the beauty of his work more than putting to use (which may have been lost, stolen or damaged). My experience, however, it is a tradition, and has not slipped after her disappearance. In most cases, are practical and functional beautiful does not reduce the way they work. Too many want luxury or exotic, regardless of how or less. This was not the case of the March knives Unfortunately, a fixed budget does not allow us to play like we want. Sometimes we have to decide whether we can afford something that may not be able to use entirely, and settle for a cheaper item, if we want something else. This was my hardest lesson of aging. (
