    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.
