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.

What is kubotan, what is it for and what origins does it have?

The yawara (also called pasak or dulodulo in Filipino martial arts) is a Japanese instrument used in various martial arts. It is also called Kubotan, even if the origin of the latter has relevance to the USA police of Los Angeles, who used yawara karate techniques, to form a self-defense tool, useful both to stop any aggressors without bloodshed, and to teach citizens to defend themselves without the use of dangerous tools.

The Yawara originated from the use of Kongou, a Buddhist symbolic object, by monks in feudal Japan. The Yawara takes the form of one or two small, thick sticks that protrude about an inch from each side of the hand. They are usually used in pairs to initiate throws, bone breaks, and pressure point strikes.
