June 6Jun 6 #303 These commemorative knives have been mentioned in some other posts. These pictures are from an eBay auction and the seller says this is a full set. The blades are etched on one side and plain on the other. The picture on the box depicts what is etched on the blade.
June 18Jun 18 #304 Guys, can someone confirm if thie Marble's JPK 6" commercial knife it's an original one, or not? I would say that it is, but AI confused me a lot, and I'm kinda arguing with it among this subject. To me looks fine, but your opinion is more than welcome! Also, if it's an original one, $270 would be a fair price for it? Thanks!
June 18Jun 18 #305 Hello John: Your 6 inch Marbles JPSK is a genuine Marbles but it is not USGI. The markings, brass guard, white spacers and bright blade are the easy giveaways. At least it is not one of the recently made Chinese produced Marbles blades. You might want to take a look at this thread on the Marbles blades from a few years ago. HTH. Regards, Charlie

July 10Jul 10 #308 We all know what a “normal” JPK looks like. No need to post a pic. Just check the rest of this thread. This one’s a little different. No fuller/blood groove. I’d always thought it was stamped in when the blade was punched out. Were they actually machined in later? That seems like an unnecessary step. But, here we have one without it. I don’t think it’s shroud of Turin rare. But, enough to pique my interest and buy it for a normal price. The sheath is sewn into the pocket. And the pocket has Molle attachments on the back. an interesting variation I thought.

July 10Jul 10 #311 Cabelas was selling these in their stores (with fullers) before Ontario closed down production a couple years back for the sale/move. I didn’t see any without fullers but all were dated 03-11 which was likely a contract overrun they were clearing out of storage. They were sold in Ontario branded bubble packs for $49.99.
