Received this today from Mike Losicco.

It is a 4 1/2” lock back folding Hunter with beautiful dark jigged and worm-grooved bone scales.

Clip blade that locks up tight. This knife never had the folding guards, it is a different pattern.

It’s pattern number is 72 / 612, so an identical Robeson would be numbered 612072.

The tang stamp is TERRIER / CUTLERY / ROCHESTER, N.Y.

And there is a small dog’s head logo to the left of the pattern number stamp. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.

Very nice Terrier Charlie ::tu:: Those dark heavily jigged worm grooved bone handles are just gorgeous! Interesting that they were able to squeeze the small dog head in there on the pile side tang along with the pattern number—the dog head is always like “frosting on the cake”. I think with your recent Terrier folder additions it would be great to see all your Terriers in an updated group photo ::nod:: Congratulations on another fine addition.

Very nice, Roger. I have the same pattern in very nice condition, but not that nice. :mrgreen:

At the first of this thread and later, I showed several etched Terriers, including one like this.

If one wishes to really understand how scarce nice Terrier Cutlery Company knives are, they should do a daily Ebay search for them as I do. Even bi-weekly would work.

They very rarely appear on Ebay out of the hundreds of thousands of knives listed at any given time. Ebay is the largest vintage knife show in the world and there are Terrier knives listed only very seldomly.

For anyone interested in owning a nice one, here is a 3 3/4" dogleg jack in quite excellent condition.

Not My Knife. Not My Auction. I'm Not Bidding. I Do Not Know The Seller.

I already have one of these, though I must say, I like the bone on the Ebay knife better.

It's pricey, but if I needed one of these, I would be an active bidder.

The knife is, at least, one-hundred and four years old.

I suspect the requisite opening bid will probably win this knife or possibly a counter offer, if allowed.

There aren't enough collectors or dealers that truly understand what quality knives were produced with the Terrier logo.

Go for it, David. We can postpone the other two. They aren't going anywhere. ::tu::

I just looked at the expanded photos. That bone is absolutely beautiful.

Robeson Cutlery Co. made a lot of scissors. They had whole display cases of nothing but scissors.

I have never been interested in buying a pair.

However, a kind AAPK member alerted me to this pair on Etsy, another Internet auction site.

These are marked TERRIER CUTLERY CO. / ROCHESTER, N.Y. in two lines.

I have never seen or even heard of, a pair of Terrier marked scissors.

I found them interesting enough to buy, so I did.

8 1/2” long. Fairly heavy duty.

Some patina/tarnish, but overall in great condition. Still very sharp and cut all the way to the tips.

Probably the only representative pair I’ll ever buy, though.

Charlie, even if you aren't really interested in scissors, those are a nice addition to your Terrier collection. ::tu::
