I've been remiss in watching this forum and replying in a timely manner.

There have been some good and great knives posted.

JJ, your slant bolstered jack, in my opinion, is one of the best knives Robeson ever produced.

Open the master blade and just hold the knife in your hand as if you were about to use it. It, quite simply, feels like an extension of your body.

Fantastically designed heavy folder.

Thanks y'all. I saw it in a local online auction and figured it oughta be mine. Lol.

[FRJ]

Another beautiful old Robeson.

[RobesonsRme.com]

Good one.

There are a lot of variations within this pattern; i.e., handle materials and blade grinds, etched, not etched, Frozen Heat tempering or not indicated as such.

How’s This.....?...

[WVbladetrade]

Picked up a couple Pocketeze jacks this week

622426 Robeson/Shuredge(script)/Rochester,,,,Swell-center jack or curved jack.

The clip and pen blades both have a clear protective film. You can feel the film on the blades,,, I tried to show with pics the build up

of the protectant on the blade edges.... Was this a Factory process? and if so reason being what Salesman sample? board knife?

As you can see it kept the blades in great condition. Thanks...... Tom

[peanut740]

I've never seen that before Tom.That is a dandy knife! All it needs is an etch.

[FRJ]

Nice knife, Tom.
I believe I have one like it. Mine is 622428 - 3 3/4" closed.

[kootenay joe]

What would the etch say ?
Did most Robeson folding knives have a blade etch ?
thanks, kj

[WVbladetrade]

Ya Roger would have been nice with etch, don't think it was every etched. Those are nice handles on that piece of yours Joe love it.

thanks kj the other Jack I picked up this week had etch.

622787 (no pattern on knife) Robeson/Shuredge(script)/Rochester 3 3/4" Saber ground Spear blade Etched "Indianapolis Paint and Color"

I tried to show with pic the cut swedge the length of the inside of the pen blade to make room for that Saber ground Spear. thanks

[Waukonda]

Tom and Joe, those are two really nice knives. I have come back to these pictures two or three times to look at them, thanks for posting.

[LanG]

been totin this HOK lately. Its seen better days, but is still handy to have around.

[RobesonsRme.com]

The Robeson 622246 jack is one of the most comfortable knives I have ever held. It just feels like an extension of your hand.

Robeson used a protective lacquer-like coating on their display knives.

I bought a scout/utility that had it, but it had flaked off in numerous places. The seller thought it was rust corrosion and sold it as such. I removed it with nail polish remover to reveal an absolutely mint knife.

It can be removed or left as part of the history of the knife.

I used to have one of those Indianapolis Paint And Color jacks. They also put that etch on a toenail and a jumbo sleeveboard whittler. To have all three would be a great subset to a collection, Indianapolis Paint And Color gave away some nice knives. Just think of the ones that spent their lives opening paint cans.

Nice stockman. Lots of life left it that one.

[kootenay joe]

The Robeson jacks shown above are just so fine. Most attractive pocket knife of all time !
I would love to find one in good condition. And a saber ground spear point i think is the most attractive of all blades. Too bad they don't show up on ebay.

Charlie:
Thanks for the info on the protective lacquer coating on the 622426,,,,now that I know it left the Robeson factory that way As long as I own it

it will stay the same.. To me it's like etch on a blade,,,, and as you said it's the knife's history. Thank you kj for liking that piece. Tom
