MSA and Marble's fixed blades.

Webster Marble formed Gladstone Mfg. Co. in 1892. That company created the first folding Axe in 1893 which lead to the incorporation of Marble's Safety Axe Co. in 1898. The company became Marble Arms & Mfg. Co. in 1911 & enjoyed years of success until succumbing to a shut down of production in 1974. The brand was brought back to life in 1994 & enjoyed a grand rejuvenation that later gave way to another shutdown in 2009. Many great knives & tools were crafted over the company's storied history.

I have not done ANYTHING to it. Been really tempted to condition the sheath and wax the blade & handle with Renaissance, but did not. As of now, it is "as found".

Renaissance wax is a good choice and will not harm the handle or blade but that is as far as I would go especially if you are going to sell it.

Found knife and sheath, sheath has Boy Scout emblem stamped on it. I thought I could see some of the Scout etch on the knife blade. If so it is very faint.

Scored this Marbles for a Christmas present for my son. I believe it was made in 1999.

To those who fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected ones will never know.
