Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Here is a place where you can show off your Marbles Knives. I have just a few and I don't see any of the bone handle material on any other brands. I have seen some new handles on the Marbles coming out since they filed Bankruptcy and SMKW  purchased the rights to them. I especially like the USA made Marbles from Gladstone, MI which are rare and hard to find. If you like Marbles knives, here is a place to show them off.Here is a green stag bone sunfish.

.. the family connection makes these all the more fun ..


My maternal Gdfather's
Marble's # 1 Safety Pocket Axe


Hare & Hound


Marbles Safety Pocket Axe

Mom found this amongst my G'father's belongings. I've almost sorta kinda had dubs on it for yrs now. Visited the family farm recently & asked Mom if I could get some pics of G'pa's old hatchet. She just gave it to me ...

Original Marble's have always been a favorite of mine because of their rareness/collectable status. Also, I grew up in close proximity to where they were made. Managed a plant tour while under the CRL ownership. Used to come across a few original Marble's during camping trips in the UP. But ... anything in decent shape was .. expensive. I've managed a Woodcraft, a 4.25 safety folding hunter, & this Safety Pocket Axe. The Woodcraft & Safety Folder are far from mint ... but highly valued .. the chase was fun.


.. missing the swing gaurd, a poor replacement on the pivot pin, & badly pitted blade ..

Obviously not made in Michigan but I finally got the last of the five ion toothpicks SMKW released in the Marbles brand.  It's the fluted bone  one
