👍 I get it! Your Marbles Ideal was made during the best production years of Marbles while they were under the guidance of Mike Stewart (now owner of Bark River Cutlery) IMHO. Great knife. Thank you for sharing. I have a 1992 Marbles Trailmarker, which is similar, but with a 10” blade. Love my vintage Marbles knives.
I've wanted the trail maker it has a 10 inch blade for 20 years but that Ideal is close enough with an 8 inch blade I've owned the regular ideal for years original and a mike Stewart era.
Marbles Gladstone vintage knives! Worth collecting. The newer marbles knifes are nice. What are you gonna do with it.put it on your belt and sit down in your truck see where it ends up ouch!😅😅
