I agree with Shlomo.  Any knife that is advertized as having a "stainless steel blade" has a very good chance of being near worthless.   I have some cooking pots made from stainless steel and they don't cut worth a darn or hold an edge.   Same can be said for "surgical steel" ---- those surgical scapels are made to use one time and then throw away.   Make sure the blade is quality BLADE STEEL , some of which is stainless (CPM 154,  ATS 34, S30V, 440C,  12C27, etc) and some which will stain (1095, D2, 0-1).

Here is a link where you can read about the Marble knives and acquire some good knowledge when you decide to find that Marble knife you would like to buy.  I have two which I bought some time ago.  In the last few years the price of the original Marble knives has shot up.  Here is the link: http://marblesplus.knifeclubs.com/?tag=history

Those Marble's knives are cheap junk…No, they’re pure unadulterated kaka and no, knife snobbery isn't at play here.

Those Marble's knives are not cheap junk because of where they are made (Chi-Comm) they are cheap junk because of how and with what they are made.

Stay as far away from them as possible; do not handle them as they will turn green on you and stain your hands...NO, that is not an exaggeration.

Those same knives, seven/ eight years ago, were selling in the $100+ range but then Marble's was still owned and operated and made (for the most part) locally.

Thanks for the comments guys. Robert, this one will be part of my collection. I don't really have a need to use it. I just like the looks of it. I still want a Marbles style hunting knife with a stag pommel. A few of the Sheffield companies like Wostenholm and Wade & Butcher made them. I'll have a look at the makers Shlomo, thanks for that. Cheers, Steve

I love Scagel knives, check out Treeman knives, they make some fine ones. I like the one you have, will it be a user or a collector for you?

YO Smiling-Knife - that scagel style is spectacular!!!!!!!!! I am intrigued by William Scagel's history, story and his profound influence on the custom knife world....That is a beautiful piece!
