All will break and fail long before a cold steel.

I agree with you on that.

 

[Tafkaag]

One of these.

Any chance of translating that to English?

Trying something new with a MT... the Amphibian clip is really nice but tight AF. Wearing some pants with the reinforced pocket for a knife and it may not even come out the pocket if I pull on it. Otherwise a fantastic knife so far.

Any chance you could humor me with a few more photos of that engraved lockback?

My heart skipped a beat.

Yessir. It’s a handmade Marble’s I’ve had for 25 years I know for sure. The blade says Seki Japan. It has ridden many thousands of miles with me.

Thank you.

That is a very cool piece and I’m sure it has plenty of memories embedded in it.
I wish you many more years in good health with it in your pocket and on adventures.

Very kind of you sir! Thank you much. It’s very much a part of me. I have very few possessions that I treasure more. Do you happen to know any kind of history on those knives? It is the only one of its kind that I have ever seen.

Sounds like someone needs to commission a slip for that storied beauty

Unfortunately, it is also the first one I’ve seen before. It got my interest piqued…and I’m a little bit of a fan of engraved knives.

However, I’m sure the fine folks over in the Traditional Subforum here would have some information for you.

You could start a thread with photos and ask.

I'd venture a guess that knife was made in Seki City, possibly by Tak Fukuta, during the time that Jim Parker was "using" the Marbles name...

Did you notice Arathol’s post above yours?

I've got a pile of knives here that is almost 250 deep...
At least 175 of them are of edc size and shape.
So many knives: so few days...
