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.

Very nice Roger. ::tu::

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?

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.

I received these two from Mr. Charlie Noyes (Thanks Charlie).
A 62629 that I sharpened up and have been carrying. Very sharp.
The other is a 622151 in beautiful strawberry bone.

Very nice.

Robeson swell-centered knives are among my favorite patterns.

These 2 are not exactly 'new' to me but i just came across them while sorting through my 'old USA knives'. 3 3/4" 2 blade jack, 622634 ? with saber ground master blade, and 3 1/2" 2 blade jack with Washington bolsters and etch "Hickory Whittler".
Hickory is quite a hard wood so i think this name was chosen to imply it is a strong knife able to cut even the hardest wood.
Both have been used but they are still very fine & attractive knives.

I just purchased this beauty along with several others from the Tom kalcevic collection. It is actually on page 30 of his book. I love that the red is still preserved around the pocketeze and the pinched bolsters I would love to see a thread about others who have obtained some of his collection. I am also new to this forum and terrible with technology so if I have done anything in error regarding this post I apologize. Kevin
