Re: Dave Shirley Marbles
I need to add these two to this thread. Just got these in today. The Congress is just soooo sweet.

Re: Dave Shirley Marbles
Picked up two more Marbles to add to the stable of Marbles knives.
The 2002 stag is one I have a question about. I have read that after 2001 the knives were made and finished by Queen and before that the parts were supplied by Queen and finished in Gladstone by Marbles. Can anyone confirm that?
Doesn’t bother me a bit either way, but I would like to know to keep my facts straight.
The Congress is white Micarta. The mini trapper is stag.

I have what I believe is a Dave Shirley MSA 7" ideal made in Gladstone MI. Not sure how to post a pi5.

Re: Dave Shirley Marbles
Not to worry Gary! When I first saw it MOP immediately came to mind, but then I remembered knives I have with acrylic, kirinite,(?)cracked ice covers and realized they were likely one of those. They look fabulous, no matter what they're made of!kennedy knives wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 10:48 amMadmarco I owe you an apology After you said it was cracked ice I took a better look and it's Acrylic Pearl the same as cracked icekennedy knives wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 2:29 amThanks everyone Madmarco it's not cracked ice it's Pearl they look a lot alike

Re: Dave Shirley Marbles
Picked this one up recently and thought I already had one in my collection, but instead it is a Robeson Mastercraft made by Queen so this one goes into the collection. I did rediscover I had two of the blue pin feather jigged bone Congresses so I listed one of those instead. This one has red carved stag bone handles.

Re: Dave Shirley Marbles
Beautiful Marbles Mark! The stunning color is the same or similar to the color of the Robeson I have coming, strawberry something, yes? I have mentioned many times my desire for knives that sport only 1 blade, but that's not to say I don't appreciate and understand a knife like yours having multiple uses with all those blades, or in this case to collect. I have a few Marbles I got from you!

Re: Dave Shirley Marbles
This red is a little more orange than the strawberry bone I have seen on most Robeson’s. Doesn’t mean there aren’t some that less orange, this one has not taken up the color as deeply as others, as you can see on the edges. The others I have with this material are also not as deep and a little more orange in appearance. It’s still very vibrant in color.

Re: Dave Shirley Marbles
I signed up for the membership I can sell on the forum. I also have an aapk store. Haven’t been added to the gold member group yet. I wanted to get these in front of some eyes here in case someone’s interested.
Here’s the knives I’m selling and prices. I have more pictures and videos that show the condition well. Text or email and I’ll send them. Text is best for the videos.
