Vintage circa 1914-1935 Marble’s SAFETY KNIFE model stag-handled Folding Hunter, still in the original brown leather pouch. The knife is used, but it is in better-than-average condition for the type. Proudly hand-finished in Gladstone, Michigan USA. Marble’s Knives was one of the best US makers of hunting knives, axes and other outdoors gear since 1898; this knife is from the Marble’s early 20th century “golden era” – a great find!
The knife is about 8-1/8″ / 20.7 cm fully opened; the blade is about 4-1/4″ / 10.8 cm long; the 3-line logo is stamped on the tang. The blade has been polished; it is RAZOR-sharp; the tip is intact. Genuine stag handle with nickel-silver bolsters and a swing guard. The handle is tight; the spring is excellent; the blade closes and opens with a sharp snap. Minor pitting on the blade protector is noted for accuracy. Original leather pouch in great shape; the leather is soft and supple; the front is marked with initials SIL. Overall, this USA Marbles Safety Knife is in great condition, considering the age; with proper care it will last you another 100 years 😉 These early Marble’s folders are VERY hard to find these days in better grades. Don’t miss your chance to add this antique early USA Marbles Safety Knife to your collection!
