I can't look at the tang stamp on this one. Is it possible to tell by the logo if this is a USA Marble's or imported?

I'm confused. You can't see it, it's not there, or you don't want to look at it?

I don't have the knife in my possession.

Looks just like the one I have.
Mine is made in China.
It's a well made knife. What is the price of the knife you're showing?
If it's less than thirty dollars it's probably made in China.

It is an auction that just started and runs for another 13 days. Starting bid is $10. There are a couple of others with the same looking box and case. Not ebay.
Thanks for the info.

I'm sure i saw one of those last year on a retailers website, it had the same carry case. It was made in China, and if my memory serves me correctly, asking price was $25US.

Try checking for this model on SMKW.com. I think they carry this line.

Excellent advice! I see knives (and other stuff) sell on eBay for prices higher than the same identical item can be bought for elsewhere. Sometimes even from another seller on eBay.

Back in the good ole days of ebay, late 90's, I'd regularly see an auction described wrong or poorly, or in the wrong category, and I'd buy it and turn around and list it again and make money. They didn't have the listing tools then and the search engine wasn't as optimized. You had to know your own HTML code.
