Pocketeze mystery.

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.

Pocketeze mystery.

Post by Kevin11b »

I recently purchased on eBay a knife that has a pocketeze shield on the handle It was cheap with vey little info but I assumed it was a Robeson When I opened the package today I was surprised to read a tang stamp that read “J.Milner and co. Sheffield. The reverse I can only make out Utica NY. Help !!!

I had the same thought but I’m not very knowledgeable on Robeson knives. There are some here who are so waiting on them to impart their wisdom. Maybe they’ll help enlighten us. :lol:

Yeah I thought of that as a possibility but it really looks quality like maybe it was a knife robeson made for Milner on contract. Hope more knowledgeable folks will chime in the shield was definitely not just glued on and the bone design sure looks right

I would say the blades have been replaced.
