Very nice! Marbles Woodcraft knives are getting scarce and I have not paid enough attention to them to tell you the models they made, though I know I have seen some with a longer blade that the owners called woodcraft.
Maybe sheathmaker can tell us for sure, but I would think neetsfoot would prevent drying, as would care to keep it dry to prevent rot. It does look to be in good shape. Especially so for an old user.
I wish I had my grandfather's or father's knives, the best I can do is leave my children and grandchildren mine. But a few I have are old enough to be my grandfather's. My sharpfinger, used this morning on a buck, has skunt more than I could cypher, and thankfully, I had the good sense to not put notches in it. Here, the proper term is skunt, paster tense of skint.
