Marbles back in the US?

[Balls Deep]

I was looking at the Big River the other day and I'm seeing marbles axes in both stainless and carbon steels advertised as made in the US with US components. I was aware of them being sold to china alone with the patents and being made there as well. Is this a new development and does anyone know more about this? Whether or not it's authentic and has marble's indeed started making axes in USA again?

Looking at them the remind of the council tools 18" axe and I'm wondering if maybe they aren't being manufactured out of the council factory.

Any info on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Balls

Pretty sure they're Councils. Just look at the patterns and head weights.

Yes, it seems like Mike Stewart will be making Marbles line of knives again! :thumbup:

Maybe someone knows more about this.

I'm wondering what kind of stainless they're using on the stainless axe. I didn't see any stainless axes made by council and if it's American stainless my thought is it won't be one of the Chinese alphabet steels. Mayve a soft heat treat on420hc?
