Marbles Brand

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.

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.
