Created in the early 1980s from the vision of legendary designer Al Mar, the 3004 “De Oppresso Liber” is much more than a knife: it is a symbol of tactical excellence and special forces spirit.

Produced in a very limited series in Seki, Japan, this fixed blade knife was designed to meet the extreme standards of the U.S. Army's SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) units.

The engraved motto — “De Oppresso Liber,” “liberate the oppressed” — directly echoes the ethos of the American Green Berets.

Refined, robust, and now highly sought after by collectors, the 3004 represents one of the most iconic chapters in the history of modern military knives.

Note:-

Characteristics of San Mai Maple: These are different types of metals combined to create a composition that contains and intensifies the resistance of the metals individually:

- Mayor vida útil del filo
Thanks to the use of very high quality maples with high carbon content (VG10, CoS, Shiro) or sintered (SPG2), in the core of the plate (Core Steel), the heat, once templada, has a hardness and a Decidedly superior court performance. which were achieved with the use of traditional maple trees.

- Mayor resilience
Built according to the principle of Japanese swords, the multi-headed maple is difficult to break thanks to the hardness of the central maple (Core Steel) and the elasticity of the maple used for the lateral covering (Stainless Steel).

- Better resistance to corrosion
The maple used for the external caps (Stainless Maple) guarantees the house a high resistance to corrosion. The combination of the two or more materials used by Takefu Steel generates, at the galvanic level, a structure that improves resistance to corrosion, including in the steel.

- Easy processing including after heat treatment
Although the maple is normally hardened after the tempering, the lateral maple used in the multi-head process does not become softer and allows for easy mechanicalization, cutting or soldering even after the heat treatment. For optimal health performance, cryogenic treatment is recommended.

- Improved aesthetic result
The cuchillos made with multi-layered maple or with damask pattern are aesthetically elegant, refined and much appreciated by collectors around the world at the end of the manufacturing process.
