Chinese Marble
Re: Chinese Marble
Though I don't own any. I must say, these new Marbles have some of the best bonestag.

Re: Chinese Marble
I agree with you BH, it looks like a very good EDC knife to me. Congrats!

Re: Chinese Marble
BigHomer, I have bought this same knife from SMKW and had to have it replaced due to how the nail-nicks lineup preventing the larger blade from being opened unless you open the front blade first. The replacement had the same problem but not as severe. I also purchased the 'red' cattlemans knife which is the same frame knife and a close relative having only different covers and shield that had the same problem. I hope you got one of the better knives without the nail-nick problem. Your are correct that your knife is a real attractive knife that has value far above their cost.

LB47 I guess I've been lucky. I've got a red cattle knife also. I tried to get close up photos to show the nail nicks. Interesting tidbit the new one has half stops

Re: Chinese Marble
It is a shame they did not carry the steer head shield over to the black and white stag bone knife. I favor the steer head shield over the bar shield. The SMKW website has reviews (on the red version) reporting nail nick problems and YouTube have reviews with the reported nail nick problem. Glad to see yours are problem free.
Re: Chinese Marble
I too would have like the steer head shield and steer blade etch, but it's still a cool knife I think.
