Marble Knive's Question

[MIKE MACINTOSH]

I'am a long time fan of marbles I own a camp craft model made for marlin in 2000 and an Red bone Ideal I really like these two knives and would like to pick up a few more My problem is i've heard marbles are all being made in china now.does any one have any reliable info on this, as much as I like these knives I cant bring myself to buy another one if I might be helping to put another American knife company out of business we've allready lost Camillius & Schrade.

To the best of my knowledge the safe grip line,and most of the $20 line of pocket knives are imported,as are the damascus ones. But the tradition line of fixed blades like the woodcraft,fieldcraft,plainsman etc are still made in the USA

I heard that it isn't just china, but pakistan as well.

Was it a safe grip model, like with rubber handles?

Yes it was a rubber grip, i like the look and feel of the knife, and it's very sharp. Your friend at the post, Donald S.

If you go to any item listed in MIKE's link, there will either be an American flag or a globe next to the item number.
