ROBESON Physicians knife

The first Robeson knives were imported by Millard Robeson from England and Germany exclusively. This continued from 1979 until 1896 when Robeson began manufacturing knives in the United States. Since inception, the company has gone through several reorganizations & eventually ended up as a Queen Cutlery brand.

ROBESON Physicians knife

Post by 98src »

I am going to overlook the crack in the handle due to its age (1896 -99) and because I have never seen another

Very nice knife. If only the knife can talk

That tang stamp is dated 1896 to 1899 by Tom Kalcevic in Knives Can Talk!

Long pulls on a Robeson knife are quite rare and almost always indicative of early dates.

Nice old knife.

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.
