In Search Of Marbles Safety Knife

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 found my dream "Marbles Safety knife" last month. Made by Northwoods in 2008. Man was the knife filthy. Never cleaned , dirty from the factory. Never used with minor pitting and it needs a good sharpening. I love it ! Mine has the yellow/white bone patina.
