Marbles question

[MountainMan]

I'm not familiar with this knife company. Would most of you consider it a quality base or quantity based company? I'm looking at a 4 blade Congress and it is NIB. It is a good looking knife but I don't want to waste my time on something if it is normally considered crap.

The USA one's are quality knives and bring reasonable money.
They stopped making them in the USA a few years ago than some where made in Japan .Now they are made in China.
I do not know how good the one's made in China are.

You just told me what I needed to know. I appreciate that. Thank you.

MM, the last USA made Marbles were in the 2001-04 period made by Queen.
This 2002 canittler pic shows the M.S.A. tang stamp used on them pretty well.

For what it may be worth, the Chinese made Marbles knives are of well above average quality and fit and finish for CHINESE MADE KNIVES. The USA made ones are far superior. Nuff said ?

I very much enjoy the USA made Marbles. F&F have always been excellent for me. No experience with off shore made knives under that label.
