SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON

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.

Near as I can tell you knife was made from 1940 to 1964 as per Tom Kalcevic's publication.

I have a 622 pattern with that same stamp. 3" closed, the barehead jack with the clip. 622026

I also have a 622 with just a five digit number 62226 (early) that has a cap bolster and a shield with a spear master blade. 3" closed. This knife was made and poorly stamped apparently between 1922 and 1939.
Thanks FRJ ::handshake:: I am very happy with it, the blades are very tight and it has a very solid feel to it. Yours look great, too bad about the weak stamping. The barehead jack with the clip, 622026 looks very "minty" Great photos! ::nod::

Thank you, sir.
Both knives are nice and snappy but yes, the barehead jack is in pretty good shape. ::nod::

Here is my pearl Robeson 2 3/4" four blade Senator, pattern number 74304. Superb workmanship to get 4 blades into this tight space with no rubs, smooth action, half stops and no play.
I posted it For Sale over 3 years ago but so far no takers and no offers, which really surprises me. It is such a fine example of Robeson quality.

This arrived very recently in a group of pocket knives that I bought. This particular pocket knife was NOT the target of my purchase. It is a ROBESON ShurEdge 023171 (1911-1921), two blades (one is broken), 3 1/4" closed, three tang stamps, all metal pocket knife. It needed a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

This pocket knife arrived very recently in a large group of pocket knives that I bought. I did NOT purchase the group to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, I was quite surprised and pleased that it was in the group. It is a ROBESON ShurEdge, pattern 633728, three blades, two tang stamps, 3 5/16" closed, pocket knife. I am not sure what material the handles are made of. But, I do believe that they are bone. The main blade tang stamp reads "ROBESON - ShurEdge - U.S.A." The other tang stamp, on the other side of the main blade, reads "633728" (pattern #). There is writing and there are remains of writing on the main blade, possibly on both sides. What I can "read", and I'm NOT 100% sure, looks like CQX(?) or COX(?), underlined and over 2.25 (possibly a salesman sample?). It's in EXCELLENT CONDITION and did NOT require any cleaning. I didn't want to risk erasing the writing. I took some pictures and here it is.

I've got this knife that is similar to yours. Mine is 3 3/8" closed.

Yours is an older and smoother knife.
If I can describe yours as a tear drop jack I think I can date yours at 1922-1939.

I'm not sure where to date mine. Probably in the 60s some where.
No numbers on mine either.

Lots of pin spinner malfunction. ::woot::

Scrolling through old posts FRJ, and couldn't help notice some of the prettiest bone I've EVER seen. Wow do I love that kind of bone. Funny about the pin spinning malfunction. Too many beers for lunch maybe. :lol: :mrgreen: But still a fabulous looker all around. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnn.

Nice Robeson's everyone ::tu:: ::tu::

Picked up a 646208 large 4 1/8' Congress, close to full blades, looks to be 1920's, 1930's which seemed to be the peak of the Congress pattern. Apparently very popular down South and most you find are heavily used.

Jacks, stock knives, pearl senators and a gorgeous old large frame congress.

You guys are killing it in this forum.

I haven't bought any Robeson knives in a while, but I did come across this.

Not really sure what it is, but pretty sure it wasn't meant to be an ashtray.

Here's one stamped on three sides of the tangs. Billed as a 1895-1903 626240 bare head. I like the bones. From our own seller, AGDO. Thanks for the great Robe bones AGDO.

A couple of real beauties there, Ike.

From one of the best USA cutlery's ever.
Those two patterns were probably very popular for Robeson.

Congrats on two winners. Those are killer knives, and the bone on that swell end jack on the bottom is to drool for. That is a fabulous pair. Well done.
