Marbles (American made history)

[JamesofArc]

How can i tell if a Marbles knife that i am looking at is from the "made in America" era?
The one i am looking at is new old stock/ never used in the box. It says it is carbon steel, would that be 1095? It says it was made in 1998 the first year of the fieldcraft.
How do i know for sure?

I think Marble's was using 52-100 in that time frame.

So if its marked Gladstone MI on the fuller then it is an actual American made Marbles.

I have a Fieldcraft in 52100, one of my best knives. It's from Mike Stewart's time there. Also have a Marble's Campcraft in 52100, same era. The ones made after Mike left Marble's are crap by comparison.

I did not know that Mr Stewart worked for Marbles. Is he producing anything that is like the Fieldcraft?

Mike is running Bark River K&T. Check it out. Lots of great knives there.
