Robeson 612118

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.

Robeson's largest single blade Jack, I believe. ::tu::

I've seen them in bone, yellow composition and black composition.

I've seen them with a bail and know that bails, at one time, were shipped in the boxes and added as desired by the retailer.

I've seen one or two with an Easy-Open Notch. I think the jury is still out on that one.

They made a lockback, whose pattern number was 612246.

You need one of those as a companion.

Almost all my Robesons are for sell.

I'll send a PM. We cannot conduct business in this forum.
