An Ebay Robeson of Rare Pattern

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.

An Ebay Robeson of Rare Pattern

Post by RobesonsRme.com »

This knife sold on Ebay last week.

I generally do not bid on Robeson knives much, anymore, but I was tempted on this one. I did not bid however.

I have never seen this pattern knife before, I don't believe.

Pattern number 622698.

3 1/2" long, so not a hefty knife.

Nice bone handles with a PocketEze shield.

Clip master and what appears to be a coping blade, although I suppose there is no guarantee that's its original shape.

Some wear on the blades and obviously sharpened.

These are the auction photos and should expand.

It's a pretty knife, I think.

Charlie,I think it is a reshaped pen blade.Notice the lack of a choil on the blade.

Point taken, Roger, but I have seen many Robeson knives that did not possess a choil.

I have also seen true coping blades on some older Robeson pens and Congress patterns and this one is not the same.
