Nice find. I don’t know much about Robeson (except I like them). Maybe a Charlie will be along and add some comments.

Thanks fellas, I've kinda fallen in love with Robesons in the last couple of years.

Re: Robeson 633884
This is an interesting pattern and somewhat rare because of that Turkish clip master blade.
Most of the ones I've seen have had pressure molded black composition handle but a pattern number that called for bone, suggesting they were made during and shortly after WWII when the usual bone was not available. I've never seen one in strawberry bone. That suggest a relatively short run, i.e., 1940 - sometime prior to 1948.
I have had this one since The Blade Show in 1989.
Robeson put Turkish clips in, at least, one other pattern, the 596 stockman, but it was a longer and heavier knife that the 884.
