Nice find
Found this"Pocketeze" #323646, 3-1/8" Dogleg today. Saber-ground main, blades a bit stained but full, tight, and snappy. Nickel lined. Haven't found a nice Robey for quite a while. J.O'.
Re: Nice find
Indeed!
Re: Nice find
Nice catch J.O.! What stain? I just see great patina!

I have a Dogleg Peanut very similar to yours. Excellent catch!

Re: Nice find
Thanks all.
Herb, Found it in one of "our" haunts.
Isn't "patina" a fancy Latin term for stain? And you know I'd never brag about a deal. J.O'.

Re: Nice find
What's a fancy latin term for "sanded"?
I came across mine today. It has a good deal more wear than your's J. O'.
It seems like someone may have used sandpaper on this poor thing.

Re: Nice find
Joe, That's why I'll go to any lengths to leave them alone. Especially the saber-ground ones. It just smooths that shoulder down and the whole knife loses something. I guess if the choice is rust and pitting, well .... But they're still nice carry's. J.O'.

Re: Nice find
Given the 646 pattern number, you might look to see if there are bronze bearings on the ends of the blade tangs or the inside surfaces of the backsprings.

Thanks for the heads up, Charlie. No sign of bronze in the knife.RobesonsRme.com wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 6:03 pm Given the 646 pattern number, you might look to see if there are bronze bearings on the ends of the blade tangs or the inside surfaces of the backsprings.
Thanks, Ike.
