Webster L. Marble came to Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the early 1890's
and quickly gained the reputation of being one of the region's finest
"timber cruisers". His uncanny ability to look at a specific forested
acreage and predict the board foot yield made him very popular with the
many logging companies in the area. Marble loved the outdoors and the
vast Upper Peninsula offered innumerable opportunities to hunt, fish,
camp and explore the environment. An inventor by nature, he was
continually seeking to create useful tools and equipment that would be
both practical and durable in the outdoors.
A
good example is the Marble Saftey Folder. A stainless bowie style clip
blade. Stag bone handles with Marbles shield. Grooved nickel silver
bolsters. Folding guard. The blade on this knife is longer than the
handle. The extended tang covers exposed blade end when knife is folded.
