Description: Marbles MSA Teardrop Jack Knife, Buffalo Horn Handle, USA Made In 2001, Unused. Hard to find Marbles MSA folder from the Dave Shirley days. I acquired several 2001 Marbles recently. They came from a large knife collection and have been loved and enjoyed. If you're into these older American made Marbles, here's some of the nicest knives I've found! The process in 2001 was for Queen to make the parts minus the handle scales. The parts were assembled in Gladston MI with scales were provided from Dave Shirley, the owner of the company. I've heard he thoughts his scale material and process was superior. I also remember reading that Mike Stewart, the Bark River Knives guy, was involved the first year of production. All the production #'s were low so there's not a lot of these around. One other note about Dave Shirley. He was a big William Scagel collector and was the guy behind the Scagel production folders and the original Northwoods folders. His traditional folders were some of the best in that time period. - Never carried, used or sharpened. Has bug bites in the handle that are pictured. Also has some tarnish on one bolster. There are light scuffs and scratches from handling and storage. I don't see any other condition issues. See the pictures as they represent the condition accurately. - Functions great, excellent snap opening and closing on both the blades. Comfortable pull on both blades as well. - approximately 7 inch total length with main blade open, main blade approximately 3 inch, small blade approximately 2 inch - Includes box from an English Jack in Horn and cloth storage pouch.
