Trapper

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.

Nice knife a little under 4 1/4” I don’t know much about Robeson. I would guess 1960’s. Harold

I can't add much information on the knife, other than it is a sweet one!

Best bet is to P.M. Charlie Noyes (robesonsrme.com) so he'll see the post next time he ambles through.

Beautiful knife, Harold.

Circa 1948-1959 or 60.

I really like the bottom bolsters on this knife, I think they are much nicer that those used by Case on their 54 trappers.

The nail pulls on the knife were punched, not milled. I don’t know when they started doing that, but it’s pretty much unique to 1950’s knives.

I cannot say I’ve seen one with milled pulls. I just don’t remember.

Thanks Charlie, I appreciate your feedback on this knife. I couldn’t find much info on this pattern. This is not stamped with a pattern number. Harold

I’d have to look at mine to see if it has a pattern number.
