Marble’s Knives
Gladstone, Michigan
Webster L. Marble came to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in the early 1890’s and quickly gained the
reputation of being one of the regions finest "timber cruisers". His uncanny ability to look at a
specific forested acreage and predict the board foot yield made him very popular with the many
logging companies in the area. 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.
By 1898 Mr. Marble had designed and patented his now famous "Safety Axe". A modest one room
manufacturing facility located behind his home became the "Marble Safety Axe Company" and the
dedicated entrepreneur was on his way. Over the next quarter century Marble designed and patented
axes, sporting knives, guns and numerous other hunting and outdoor related products. In 1911 the
company was renamed "Marble Arms and Manufacturing Company", the first of several name changes over
the years.
The Marble’s legacy lives on today in Marbles knives and axes. Still based in Michigan’s
Upper Peninsula, the owners and employees of Marble’s are now, more than ever, committed to Webster
Marble’s vision of making quality, durable, and practical Marble’s Knives for serious sportsmen
the world over.

Fox 40 Pealess Whistles
Ontario Canada
Why don't "pea" whistles measure up to Fox 40 whistles? It's because they use
centuries–old technology – a pea or a ball, vibrating against
a drum–like cavity to produce sound.
The ingeniously–designed Fox 40 whistle doesn't use a pea to generate sound.
In fact, there are no moving parts whatsoever – nothing to obstruct sound,
nothing to stick, freeze or fail.

LEKI Nordic Walking Poles
Germany
LEKI, the world’s leading manufacturer of ski, hiking and trekking poles had its start in
Kircheim, Germany as a hobby of its founder, Karl Lenhart, an airframe mechanic and avid skier.
Lenhart believed aluminum would make a superior ski pole compared to the heavy steel models
available in the late 1940’s. After successfully creating light- weight poles for his friends,
in 1954, the hobby became a full time business.
Nordic Walking began as a summer training exercise for serious "cross country" skiers.
Fitness walkers in Europe adopted Nordic Walking as a time-efficient, low-stress, total body workout.
Today, approximately 500,000 people in Finland enjoy Nordic Walking regularly, and it is spreading in
popularity throughout Scandinavia. Nordic Walking’s popularity is growing with walking clubs and
instructors leading classes across the United States.
