SakauchiMarblesSafetyKnife1.jpg

 This is a fantastic 1/3 scale Marbles safety knife by master miniature knifemaker Mr. Sakauchi of Japan. 1 13/16" long closed, 2 13/16" long open. All hand made with first rate quality. This is a folding pocket knife that converts into a Bowie type fixed blade scabbard knife complete with a crossguard. When you open the blade, then fold in the safety, the blade is locked and cannot fold up on you in use. When closed, the safety guard covers the tip and front edge of the blade so you do not cut yourself or your pocket. An ingenius design and marketed by Marbles for many years. This knife won best miniature knife at the 2008 Japanese Knifemakers Guild Show in Japan and also won best miniature knife at the 2008 Blade Show in Atlanta. Let me tell you the competition for those awards if fierce!

PennyKnife1.jpg

This is a neat miniature fixed blade knife made from a penny by C.W. Shoemaker.  Pennies today are made from copper plated zinc, so when the kinife shape is cut out and the blade profiled, the copper is removed revealing the white zinc blade.  The guard shows the original copper plate.  Ivory grips are held in place with two tiny copper pins.  The blade hand engraved C.W. Shoemaker on the left side.  These are all hand made and no two are exactly alike.  Stock photos, yours may look slightly different.  Comes in a protective lift top plastic capsule.
