Keep a watch on ebay Red...a good used one pops up here and there
Woodcrafts made from Marble's 1997-2001 had 52/100 blade steel
2002-2008 had the 0170-6C high carbon vanadium steel
J Bruce Voyles did a test with Bob Doziers help on the cutting ability of the Marble's Woodcraft
for Knives Illustrated magazine, old vs new...both knives impressed him, and he thought the newer ones were the best value money wise and the way they cut on the market !!! and I reckon
he has handled a few knives in his days !!!
Both are excellent, you just cannot go wrong with a Woody !!!

Thanks stagman! I thought I had a PM from you but I can't find it now.

I am new to the site. I also moved about 5 years ago and a lot of stuff went into storage boxes. So when I find a new thread here, I have to do some digging, both mentally and physically.

Wayne,
I see your "pat pend" example has a brass guard while mine is steel. Is this a documented change or incidental?
Great collection!

Two very nice old Woodcrafts schmoozer.

I don't recall ever seeing anything but brass guards on a Woodcraft knives. Your guard is also much thicker than normal. I would think that this could have been a premium or even reflect a shortage of material. Who knows what they did back in the day? Are you sure the guard is steel and not nickel silver? Maybe someone else has seen Woodcraft or other early Marbles knives with other than brass guards.
