SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON

[KnifeSlinger#81]

I just got this one today. A pretty decent old lightly used robeson shuredge 633865 jr cattle knife. All the blades have half stops which I thought was pretty neat for a three blade. A well built cutting tool.

The only issue is where the bone has pulled out a little from the liner. Not a big deal but if I decide to carry this knife that will have to be addressed. Nice bone, cool stamps and nickel silver liners which I think look much better than brass.

Picked this Robeson and an older Imperial at a small open air trade lot set up in our county. A older gentleman under one awning had a few knives, and tools. But I picked up both knives and a 12 inch wood handled screwdriver for $25.

The Robeson is a 3-1/8" equal end pen knife. 622319. Great snap on both blades. Looks like it's been taken care of. Stamped ROBESON SHUREDGE U.S.A. All Capital Letters.

I picked up another Robeson. A three blade stockman. It has the Robeson tangstamp with underlined Script Shuredge over U.S.A. I can find no pattern number. When I received it (as you can tell in the first photo, besides having a few scratches, it had some kind of residue like a dried glue on a couple of the blades and traces inside.

I cleaned it with some wd40 and oiled it with some synthetic trans fluid and set it in the sun to heat up some, then wiped it down. Finally got most of it off, and went over the blades with a little flitz to get off some of the stains. It turned out well. The blades have good snap with no play.

Very nice Roger.

They also made that as a whittler.

I used to have one, but traded it to someone for a Terrier Jack.

Never had the two blade version.

They are an elegant little pattern.

My first Robeson.

This is on the way from the store here, and is a model I've been looking at for awhile, as I love old multifunction knives. It's not one that is often seen. I've seen stupid prices, as high as $120 or more for these on eBay. It was, about two hours ago, $60 (and even then, I felt it was a good price), and when it came down to $40 w/free shipping, I got it immediately. This is such an unusual pattern. Kinda like a TL-29, but adds a leather punch/awl.

And a question about the form of ivory celluloid they used. Does it outgas?

[peanut740]

Canton Cutlery made a similar pattern.I think I have a couple of them somewhere.

Nice knife.

Robeson made this advertising knife for several different companies, most frequently seen are MOORE OIL CO.

An early one will have a PRESTO-LITE key in the screw-driver/wire-stripping blade.

I have seen two with bone handles, but they were for sale by the same dealer at a knife show. Pretty sure both had been rehandled.

And $120.00 and up for a nice one is not out of line.
