LAST ONE !!! I thought I was out but found this one with Fred's logo on it at the bottom of 1 of my knife boxes while looking for another knife that I sold...

1500 of these were to be made in 1999 for the Fred Trost Pracital Sportsman show to support public television. They sold em back in 1999 at the PBS auction for $150.00 !!! They made 1000 of them with the shows logo & Fred's signiture on them. The run concluded with 425 more made without the Fred Trost Logo

Dall DeWeese was a world reknown hunter from Canon City, Colorado that often hunted with Teddy Roosevelt. He contacted Webster Marble with what he thought would be the perfect design for a hunting knife, thus the Dall DeWeese pattern was developed. Dall DeWeese was W.L. Marble's 1st attempt to use a well known sportsman of the era to indorse 1 of his knives

These were designed by master knife maker Mike Stewart, when he headed the Marbles knife division. He replicated the Original Dall DeWeese 1907 pattern in the handle, which has the Choil built into the wood slabs and tang. Check out the thickness of the scales, you have great control while using this knife !!! This knife was made right at the Old Marbles Factory !!!

Knife was made in 1999 & is stamped: Marbles, Gladstone, Mich. USA

OAL is 7 1/2" with a 4" blade

Blade is the old Marbles 52/100B High Carbon Ball Bearing Steel that will take on a razor edge. 52/100 steel knives took 3 1st, 1 2nd, and 1 5th finish in the ABS sponsored World Champion cutting contest

Scales are Cocobolo Wood with full exposed tang, and very thick. CoCobolo wood is the 2nd hardest wood in the world, and very durable...scales on this knife are nice & fat, as seen in pics !!! Knife scales are held in place with the old 4 pin construction !!!

Comes with a new leather sheath

 Condition: New in the old Marbles Bobcat box, this one does have a seasoning crack that runs about 1/2" long from just below the back pin to the back of the scale, no biggie, but it is there !!!

When Mike Stewart was at Marbles folk's, they produced some of the best made knives in their storied histoy, and this is 1 of em. He currently runs Bark River Knives here in Michigan

The older Dall DeWeese knives are some of the most sought after by collectors. A Stag one like this from yrs past could fetch upwards of 1000 bucks. And these cocobolo scales on this knife are made identical to the old pattern, in thickness and size

Folk's, its my opinion that for a general purpose camp knife, guttin knife, and boneing knife if you process your own game as I do, you "Can Not" buy a better knife without going into much more expensive knives... I put this knife in the quality of the steel,,, old 4 pin scales construction,,, ahead of any other knife manufacturer in the USA for this price range...bar none !!!

Please Supersize pics on the next page for a close-up look

NOTE: LAST ONE !!! I was lucky enough to become friends with a terrific lady that worked with Fred Trost for 25 years...after Freds untimely death and the demise of his show,,,I was blessed with the chance to purchase 55 of these knives...54 SOLD TO DATE !!! ONLY 1 LEFT !!!
