The Marbles GI Utility Folder closes to 3.63 inches with a mirror-finish stainless handle and a bail, holding five tools.
This is the four-blade military pattern that US troops carried for decades: a large blade, a screwdriver tip, a bottle opener, a can opener and an awl on one frame. The layout was settled by long service use rather than by a designer, and it has barely changed since, which is the argument for it over a modern multitool.
An all-stainless handle with no scales means nothing to crack, swell or come loose, and the whole knife rinses clean. The bail lets it hang from a belt loop, a lanyard or a pack rather than sitting loose in a pocket, which is how these were carried in service. Explore more multitools.
I ran across an article that mentioned that this was the knife the Mercury astronauts carried in their survival gear. As a space aficionado, I wanted to buy one for myself. I ordered it from CritPro, and it was a trouble-free transaction for a reasonably priced everyday knife. It has proven useful for cutting tape and string and tighten license plate screws. Highly recommend the knife and CritPro as a source of supply..
These are excellent knives and hold up well under active use; I recommend this knife.
For the price I was expecting just a cheap little pocketknife. What I got was a very well-built pocketknife that will take on jobs that will handle much more than a regular pocketknife.
