Robeson Continental

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.

Robeson Continental

Post by Ridgegrass »

Friend of mine has an antique shop and had this Robeson Continental carving set. I never heard of this or knew they had German made products. The set is very nice, has been sharpened. Includes skewers and needles for sewing up poultry, I guess. It's all in the original box. He had $30 on it which seems pretty fair. I'd be glad to "go between" for anyone who may be interested. The knife has some nice etching, Blow it up to see. PM me. J.O'.

Robeson imported these sets in the 50’s and early 60’s.

There were numerous versions some larger than others and some with blades with fancy engravings of hunting and camping scenes and deer and elk with gold inlay.

I don’t think they have anything to do with the Continental pocketknives that Robeson made prior to WWII.
