Handle Material
I recently got this 622064 Robeson. I believe the "6" indicates bone, rough black plastic or Delrin handles. Looking at them with magnification, I can tell they aren't bone. That leaves rough black & Delrin but I don't know which. My guess is rough black but it looks like the tang stamp was used around 1940 to 1964 so I can't rule out Delrin. The jigging pattern may be a giveaway, but not for me. Someone help me please.

Rough black. Nice looking knife.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Handle Material
Thank you too, Charlie. This may be the first time I’ve had a knife with rough black unless I had one 50 or 60 years ago. I wish I could remember more of the knives I had as a kid.RobesonsRme.com wrote: ↑Tue Jun 30, 2020 2:11 pm They are pressure molded black composition.
