FSB: Al Mar Eagle HD -- Stonger? Yes. Better? Well...

Here's a quick look at the Al Mar Eagle HD, from the sharpening bench. This is an updated version of the Eagle Ultralight, a pinned and riveted, micarta handled super lightweigh version of the traditional midlock Eagle. While the Eagle Ultralight was quite popular, market pressures led Al Mar Knives to beef it up a little, which brings us to this latest version. This is a steel lined, G10 scaled Eagle with an adjustable pivot, basically a Spyderco Caly with Al Mar Eagle proportions. While all of this is great news for those using the knife in a backup tactical role, I think I still prefer that barely 2-ounce micarta version... Hmmm...
