I found a Marbles Knife for sale, very similar to this one pictured. I think the model may be Woods & Water. If anyone is familiar with this model I'd sure appreciate some info. I like the design, and seems very close to a Randall Alaskan skinner in some respects.

I'm resurrecting this one to give some more love for the Fullfield II in 3-9x40. I've had one on my 30-06 for several years and it has never let me down. I've carried it on hunts where we were in soaking rain for multiple consecutive days and had no issues with condensation, and I should add...
