US Marbles Fixed Blade Custom Knife, Compass & Cigarette Lighter
Item #60424 : Original era manufacture. I believe this to be a custom modified knife, based on a hunting knife produced by the famous firm of Marbles of Gladstone Michigan. The chrome finished blade measures just under 5.75 inches, with an overall length of just under 9 inches. The blade is clean with a spot of corrosion freckling on one side. The custom made grip is a true display of talent, being made of machined aluminum and finely finished leather segments. The pommel cap has had a compass set into it's top, which can be unscrewed, revealing a cigarette lighter inside, with the hollowed out grip used as a fluid reservoir. The compass needle no longer turns, the lighter needs a wick and fluid. Great job overall. No scabbard.
