Marbles Exhibition Grade Whittler Pocket Knife MR681

[@robertbudnik3318]

Thrifty, the qualitative value of your reviews is second to none. This is none of my business but I’ll say it anyway. I certainly hope that the manufacturers and web retailers of the products you review appreciate the work you do. Keep em coming!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks for the compliment, Robert. I think the retailers appreciate my efforts even if they don't openly speak of it. Cheers.

I love the style of this checkered bone handle by Marbles (by way of Rough Ryder). I love it so much, I bought the whittler, sowbelly, barlow, and trapper.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Nice collection, Happy. The handles are fantastic, and all of them very affordable.

[@SeanT_1967]

Really like the gunstock checkering on these. Three useful looking blades. Wish it was a fraction larger but no biggie. Thanks for sharing this one John. Another fantastic review brother 😎🙏🏻

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I'm with you Sean would like it to have been smidge larger. Thanks for having a look at this beauty.

[@bigjsknives]

Love that Cartridge Shield, checkering, Bolsters, and the BOX!!! No way that was under $20??? Man, i may have to look into this one!! Thanks for sharing and as always, killer pics at the end!!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a killer deal. And we all know how much you like deals, Jerry. Cherry kicker. Love ya, man. Be well. Hope you're feeling better.

[@bruceswearingen7718]

Those checkered scales remind me of the stocks on a fine shotgun/ Rifle

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yessir, that's what they are modeled after. Great looking. Thanks, Bruce.

[@JoseGonzalez-yx6vm]

The checkered bone handles, one of the best features of this series, thanks for sharing it, TK.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Very much agree , Jose. Some pretty nice patterns in this series as well. This one is rather unique. Take care.

[@davidkurle5418]

My gosh that one looks great! Thanks for showing it off, my friend!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks kindly David, the checkered gunstock bone is pretty amazing looking. What a great series. Try one if you haven't.

[@terrancecoard388]

I sent my brother the Trapper because it matched the grips on his Browning Black Label 380. He was surprised and was blown away when I told him it was bone. This is a great series from Marbles.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

The handles really look like they belong on something far more expensive. A great gift, Terrance.

[@terrillschneider3778]

That looks great So far I only have the 5” Toothpick

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a terrific series. I like this one a lot. A new pattern for the collection as it's not like my other whittlers.

[@terrillschneider3778]

@@ThriftyKaniffy I bought my son that Remington Bowie made by Bear and Son and the handles have the gunstock checkering in the Walnut

[@singingtoad]

Thanks for sharing about this lovely knife, Marbles seems to make half-decent stuff. Take care and Cheers!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks, Toad. The series as a whole is a great value and the handle quality looks like it would appear on something far more expensive. Have a great day.

[@Stans_Cutlery_Universe]

Really good looking knife. Thanks for sharing!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks, Stan. This is a cool whittler, a unique addition to the collection.

[@mikecurtis2585]

That is a great looking series! Love those covers! Happy Halloween 🎃

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Mike I had a great Halloween, Mike. The checkering is fantastic in this series. Hope you enjoyed the closer look.

[@traviswagner3656]

Really like this knife. Thanks for sharing

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Glad to help out, Travis. I'm glad you enjoyed the review. Have a great day.

[@Orlosthedruid]

I like, BUT....Im saving my $$ for the "In Spades" appaloosa series.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Nothing wrong with that, another fantastic series of knives.

[@rasputinscastle]

Love that diamond checkering 😊

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It sure is well done, Michael. A great series and super affordable.

[@RandysWSG]

Seems like a really great knife! Another sweet knife and great video TK!!! 🎃 👻💀Happy Halloween !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks, homeslice. Man is that ever a fitting nickname for you "homeslice". I hope you had a great Hollowweenie, Randy. Take care.

[@TheRadiogeek]

I really like the covers on this knife and the fit and finish looks real good too. Thanks for showing it off.👍🔪

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

My pleasure RG, I hope I was able to give it a good showing. It sure is an attractive design.

[@gadgetgus]

Hey TK 👊 Overall, I like it, especially the Gunstock checkering and bullet shield 🛡 However, for me a good whittling knife, has a Sheepsfoot and/or Wharncliffe blades, in carbon ideally. One to remove primary stock and the second to do detail work... It is great to see RR up their game, recently with some new models 👌 Thanks for sharing, Atb Gus 👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yea I doubt I'd do any whittling with it. There's better knives for that, but I find spear blades particularly useful so for all round use not such a bad thing. Thanks, Gus.

[@byronkennedy7912]

Thanks, TK, for the share/review of this whittler from Marbles. Have a fun.but.safe.n.spooky Happy Halloween with family and/or friends 👻!. Me? I'm having a friend for dinner... with some Fava beans and a nice Chianti 🍷...😮😂🗡 🎃

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Poor guy never knew what was coming. ☠ 🤣 I had a great Halloween. This series has been great and glad to have this style whittler added to the collection.

[@zathrasnotzathras9435]

Looks like my next knife. Thanks TK.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Very nice, let us know what you think, ZNZ. Thanks for watching,

[@kirbycreekmo]

Nice looking knife. Amazing price. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Hey good to see you Moe. Glad you like the knife. This is an attractive and affordable series. Take care.

[@SlipjointSawyer]

Awesome review John! I'm really enjoying the exhibition series! Definitely need to pick up a few more 🔥

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Tell everyone know you can get these in the UK, Slippy. There's been interest from UK viewers.

[@SlipjointSawyer]

@@ThriftyKaniffy roger that

[@kellydiver]

I collect whittlers and might get this one. I love the scales, but I’m not fond of the Marbles logo on the main blade. I also don’t understand spey blades on a whittler - it really needs at least one wharncliffe. Thanks for the review.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

The blade set is a bit weird I agree, but made this intriguing and unique. Thanks, Kelly.

[@timsmithoutdoors]

I would love these if they didn’t put the big ol Marbles logo right on the blade. I have a marbles safety knife that belonged to my great grandfather back when they were still made in the USA. They’re cool knives. I have been eyeing their large Texas toothpick since Case stopped making that pattern. Thanks for the video thrifty!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

If I was a fan of larger toothpicks I wouldn't hesitate to get one. Very attractive and very affordable. Thanks, Tim.

[@Lunarpreparedness]

Have you ever handled the Marbles MR686? The Large Whittler in this same checkered brown bone.

[@broncodude6299]

Good review, nice knife. Thanks for spending my money. I just ordered one 😂

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I hope you'll enjoy it, Bronco. Thanks for the comment, always good to know what people are buying. Take care.

[@American-Made1776]

Definitely a keeper. Thrifty: I like the dark wood gunstock stipple w/ bullet shield

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Great combo of shield and handle material type. Very attractive stuff from Marbles. Thanks, American.

[@jelkel25]

It's a looker! My RR split back whittler is one of my most used knives on account of the chunky little main blade like this one has. If this series is sold in the UK I'll definitely take a break from the list, very nice!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I think Heinnie can get these if you give them a call. Matt was able and has the sowbelly whittler in this series. Thanks, JK.

[@alpine1600s]

Too many choices! I was collecting these, but then they came out with the Spade/Appaloosa series. Too much of a good thing!🤣

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Fortunately they are all pretty affordable. The Spdes series is a tough one to beat though. Thanks, Alpine

[@TimsSchoolOfFish]

Chonky little guy! I like it and love the shape of that primary blade. Good stuff as always, TK👊🏻

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a nice whittler, not quite like my others in the pattern with the 3 spring design. Thanks, Tim, I just got your channel stickers, much appreciated, Sir.

[@TimsSchoolOfFish]

[@paullambert4445]

What steel do they use? 🔪🎸

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

440A on this, Paul. Thanks.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Yeah I noticed how wide it was…… if you rip that foam out it gives you a lot more room take care John 😊

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yep the boxes are good for storage if you go that route. I don't mind the chunk with this one, still plenty light enough, and it makes for a good grip. Thanks, sweetie Petey. 💋🦶

[@stuartgross5728]

I have three in this series. I probably will collect them all except for the moose.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

The poor Moose. So few people like the Moose. Thanks for the feedback, Stuart. Enjoy the series otherwise. Take care.

[@stuartgross5728]

@@ThriftyKaniffyi bought the whole series including the moose. The blade on it doesn’t bother me as much as it is small. I have seven. How many more are coming out?

Contact Heinnie Haynes and see if they can special order one for you.

[@stephenjones345]

@@ThriftyKaniffy Cheers mate.

[@ikocher]

I wished they still made the Game Getter. I think I'll need to get a knife instead.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

This one's quite different and the handles are really, really good for the price. Thanks, Kocher.

[@michaelbeams9553]

Like those scales . The swedging and spey blade , not so much . My nitpicking aside , it's a very nice knife indeed . Great review . ( as always ) ✌ .

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Not without a few little gripes, net positive though. I agree. Thanks, Michael.

[@skcamerican]

Handsome, but kinda thick. And the secondary blades are kinda long. Not my sort of whittler. Nice long pull on the main, though!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I rather like the length the of the secondaries. The spey ain't the prettiest thing, but more useful than most of its kind. Thanks for having a look Su. Catch you on the next one.

[@lewisgreenway5065]

Another attractive looking knife I like Marbles under represented over this side compared to Rough Ryder, just to small for my liking though.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yes just a touch small. I think Heinnie can get these by request, but yes not as common over there. Thanks, Lewis.

[@lewisgreenway5065]

@@ThriftyKaniffy yes friend I check Heinnie Haynes regularly and they stock some Marbles but mostly Rough Ryders. 😁

[@MarkBeverly-ym4kr]

Why would they put spey blades on a Whittler? Nice looking knife, but the fact that it does not have blades that are actually good for whittling is a deal breaker for me.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Not a straight forward whittling design for sure. Thanks, Mark.

[@Watcherrye]

So....not high carbon, and hardness is?????? For some of us those things matter, price too.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

General Hardness specs are readily available, and it's 440A. Price is shown.
