说说大理石的定制刀

叨叨催人老

大理石是一家美国百年老厂，位于美国格拉斯通，产品质量口碑甚好，开现代户外刀具之先河，在上世纪末停产，牌子虽然保留，但经与天朝OEM，以后的产品都是Made in China，包括那几款莫名其妙的大马钢材，质量就垃圾了。

Prior to the late 19th century, outdoorsmen and military personnel did not use knives that were notably different from the knives used by butchers. Blades were relatively thin and the handles were often no more than two wooden slabs riveted to the tang. Serrations appeared on knives in the 19th century for use as a wood saw or fish scaler. Around the turn of the century, Webster L. Marble introduced the modern concept of the "hunting knife." These knives incorporated heavier blades, crossguards, and pommels. They very much resembled miniaturized Bowie knives.

Founder - Webster L. Marble
Gladstone, Michigan, United States


Marble Safety Axe Company, Gladstone Manufacturing Company,
rifles, gun sights, axes, hunting knives, and other outdoor accessories\

son of Lansing Marble and a grandson of Jason Marble, the latter from Vermont and of English descent.

Marble loved the outdoors and the vast Upper Peninsula offered innumerable opportunities to hunt, fish, camp and explore the environment. An inventor by nature, he was continually seeking to create useful tools and equipment that would be both practical and durable in the outdoors.

Marble Arms created the Ideal hunting knife in 1898.


以上资料很多人都知道。可能有人不知道的是：在1997--2007年，大理石曾经复兴过十年。这期间的产品仍在格拉斯通制造，产品质量达到了历史最高峰，其中标有“custom”的几款，采用52100钢，质量可与很多订制刀媲美，堪称大理石的精华。

先来看看最后一个十年期的普通款，刀盒上印有格拉斯特制造，无"custom"标示， 质量却不差。第一把是1998年的：

再来看定制版的，刀身有"custom"标志

这是两把skinner 曲线销魂 上面是乌木柄 下面是鹿角柄

其他几把custom 字体略有不同  上面这把是著名的刀型Woodcraft

Marble's Woodcraft is one of the most instantly recognized knives that was ever made in the entire world. Patent applied for in 1915, W L Marble was quoted: Be it be known that I, Webster L Marble...have invented a new & original Design for a Blade of a new Hunting Knife...that patent was granted to Marble on February 22, 1916...the Woodcrafts success not only in the USA but also around the world became legendary! After the patent ran out in 1930, the Woodcraft became the most copied knife blade pattern by almost every other knife company in the world.

大理石最贵最大的一款刀型Trailmaker
The Marble's Trailmaker knife is the biggest knife Marble's ever made at 15" OAL. It was the heaviest at over 1 LB, and it was the most expensive knife ever offered in Marble's Corp.

大理石刀具对后来的Scagel和Randall有着重要的影响，是这一类刀具的滥觞。

那个时期，大理石除直刀外，还生产了一些口袋刀。今天就看到一把，看形制蛮好，2002的产品：

2001-2002年间的三把大理石口袋 那个时期的产品让人有好感

法拉利

很个性的刀具

这个牌子的陨落背景是：形制，战术风格的风潮肆虐；刃材，当代最新优质钢材普及应用；手柄，适用性广耐久性强的人造合成材料大规模应用；刀鞘，从难保养的皮鞘向耐久易保养的K鞘和功能较多的尼龙鞘转变；表面，各种性能出众的涂层大规模应用。------这是时代的特征。
而该厂还在固守传统，才终于淡出人们视野。

还是不思进取，无法跟上潮流的结果，一如当年的诺基亚。
反观BUCK，自从和ST等战术刀厂家刀匠设计师合作之后，衍生出完整的适应市场的战术系列，所以渡过难关，继续前行。

在艺术领域，今人难以超越古人。
在技术领域，今人轻易超越古人。
