Safety folder

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.

What a great knife, I don't blame you for driving that far.

Those are really sweet and you found a super sweet one! ::ds:: Is it the 4 1/2" or 5" version?
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

It is the 41/2 inch blade. Has a pin crack on the one side but still great condition for the age. Been used and has some stories i'm sure lol. The blade does not look to have been sharpened much so that is always nice to find.
