This is about NEW Chinese-made quality folders, I'm talking here, MARBLES two- and
three-bladers. I recently got one two-blader 2.25" largest blade, that is the EXACT copy of the one my grandad carried back in the 1930's, and every time I use it I get a real emotional kick from the association. It, (and the three blader) is the sharpest factory-made knife I have ever encountered, and I have been collecting (and making)
jacknives since I was eight years old. I am now eighty-one. That's a LOT of jacknives!
Does anyone know what the steel is in these Chinese-made MARBLES? My guess would have to be CASE chrome-vanadium, but there is no indication.
I'm in the early phases of reblading two of my favorite one-blader liner-locks in Talonite.
Also making some (small, 1" or less in width) wood-working planes in 3V, which I'll have to have professionally heat-treated.
