I bought a Marble NIB at a gunshow and got a good fairly good deal on it 'cause it had some slight scuffing on the leather handle (I saved about $10). I emailed Marble to see if they would repair it (the dealer I bought it from insisted they would) and they replied that they would. I sent it to them and when it came back, it showed no sign of repair and there was no note.
I emailed them again and they apologized and asked me to send the knife back again.
Below is the last email I received from them:
Dear Terry,
I will be making you a new Sport 99 today. It shall be in the mail (or UPS)
tomorrow. Thanks.

I got the knife back today. It's a beauty and Jason did a great job. I was really surprised that he made a new knife because the scuffing on the handle was not all that bad and I thought a little sealant or something would fix it. But what do I know about leather handles? Not much, I'm afraid.
Anyway, I got a new knife and Marble is a stand up outfit and I'm looking forward to adding more to my collection, which seems small at only 5 right now.
BTW, the Sport 99 is wonderful. I now have at least 1 Sport 99, Woodcraft, and Fieldcraft, and can't for the life of me decide which I prefer best. They all just have a great look and feel.
Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention. Jason threw in a brand new sheath with the knife. Unbelievable.

Oversharpen the blade, and the edge will soon blunt.
