Re: MSA and Marble's fixed blades.
That's the most wonderful "Marbles" collection I have ever seen.
Actually, not a collection, Museum would be a better description. Excellent!!!
Thanks for sharing Wayne.

Re: MSA and Marble's fixed blades.
More nice ones Wayne!! I know what you mean about not having photos of ones that you let go. A couple years ago I sold my ivory/ivory Woodcraft at Parker's show and never got a photo of it and it was the only one many advanced Marbles collectors had ever seen. I got a pocket full of cash for it but the buyer barely got ten feet from my table and I regretted selling it.

Re: MSA and Marble's fixed blades.
You have an excellent collection, Sir. Webster Marble made some well-built, functional and great looking outdoor gear.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: MSA and Marble's fixed blades.
Just picked up a ~7” ideal with a tube sheath. It has the 4-pin stag handle with an aluminum pommel. Haven’t seen an example before, are they rare or is it a rework?
Will post photos tomorrow.

Sounds like a good knife but there are many leather handled Marble's knives that have been cobbled up in stag in efforts to make a more expensive knife. Please post a picture when you have a chance.

Re: MSA and Marble's fixed blades.
Nice knives above.
Dimitri is the big knife a 7" or 8" blade? The knife and sheath look to be if excellent condition.
ScoutKnives I've never seen the box you have before. The green sheath is a very hard to find item but the box is over the top.
Here is a Marble's GS knife I have with the original sheath. I suspect this might be an earlier version.
Many of the etched fixed blade Official Scout knives I've seen had a very lightly etched blade and even moderate use would obliterate the etch. Fortunately this little Marble's GS knife is an exception to that general rule and the deep etch has survived rather well even though the knife blade has signs of use and some errant sharpening methods.

Re: MSA and Marble's fixed blades.
Wayne, you got that right about the etch...only at a gigantor
Marble's auction I went to 7-9 years ago, there was a pristine one
with the etch present, yours and that one are the only 2 I seen with the etch,
but like you said, what about that box and all, wow

Re: MSA and Marble's fixed blades.
Wayne, I don't know yet. I have them on the way to me, bought both of them as you see them in that one picture. Taking a chance but if the other side of the blades look as good as this side I should do alright, if it is an 8" blade I'll do even better.btrwtr wrote:Dimitri is the big knife a 7" or 8" blade?
