Rare Robeson History

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.

Rare Robeson History

Post by RobesonsRme.com »

This little book was published locally in Perry, New York or thereabouts in very limited quantity, in 1993.

It isn't exhaustive and probably contains an error or three, but it is an interesting old book. It has some photos I've never seen published elsewhere.

I sold mine in Lexington last August. This might be the same book. Hard to say.

A good little book for anyone with an interest in The Robeson Cutlery Company.

Joe, don't read the whole thing in one sitting. It might give you a headache and snow blindness.

I don't know why they chose to print it in red.

I'm looking forward to seeing it.
I hope I can get through the 16 pages without too much pain.
It looks like a nice clean little booklet.
I may not have known about it except for you bringing it to our attention, Charlie.
Thank you.
Joe
