A little history on Marbles:
Marbles was founded by Webster Marble in the early 1900's. Webster was a true innovator of his time, helping to shape the outdoorsman industry with his inventions. He oversaw quality control, and had very rigid standards, which made all of his products superior than any others on the market at the time.
One of his most famous inventions is the Marble's Safety Axe, (which allowed an outdoorsman to carry a hatchet/axe on his belt without injuring his body).
He developed this axe to be more manageable than a traditional axe, with a small enough size to be carried on a belt or in the pocket, but strong enough to fell a tree in minutes.
These new safety axes were highly praised and desired by outdoorsmen everywhere.
The guards and handles were heavily nickeled, and the guard was lead lined to protect the cutting edge of the axe.
He received his patent for his invention in 1898.
