I bought a couple new Marbles knives and dont know anything about them. They are both congress patterns. One has cut pearl handles and the other id stag.
I picked them up cheap and should have them in a couple days. Does anone here know where these are made. I know the old Marbles knives are highly collectible, but have no idea about the new ones.

The newest folding knives are made in China.

I can't tell you much more, as I don't own any of the new knives, produced offshore.

Some/most of the fixed blades may still be made in the U.S.A.

We were at SMKW this pass week end.

All the Marbles straight/hunting knives I looked at were made in China. They have tables/islands full of China made Remington's, Marbles, etc. thoughout the 2nd floor. We are talkin' 10-15 dollar stuff :| or at least that is what it looked like to me. JMO

The did have a one Real USA Safety Ax back in the Antique section. ::tu::

I agree with El Lobo...The newer Marbles are made in China. About a year ago I bought an Elephant Toe and on the back of the main blade it says China... Still a great looking knife though.. I paid $12.99 for it.
