Such knives are not common today from Robeson.

These are the only ones I've found:

Actually, I did not intend to sound so sarcastic in that post, but when I wrote it, I had completely forgotten about those four blade scout/utilities.

But, no, I don't feel deprived at all. ::handshake::

Charlie, when I reread my post I realized that I had let my sarcasm bubble a little to the extreme side as well. Paltry is not a word I should have used. Your display is an awesome show of very fine Robeson punches. Sometimes I let my feeble attempts at humor go awry. :oops:

GSmith, I was not offended by your post. I should have changed the text in my OP, as saying I didn't have very many and then posting all those pics was not accurate.

Nice ones posted above!

That's a very nice one MB. Mine has been around the block a few times, someone ground the spey to a pen in a very sloppy manner so that had to be fixed. Very nice examples of punches everybody, thank you all for sharing ::tu:: Here's all my old punches, no collectors pieces or anything but I enjoy being able to use them. Punches are one of those things I didn't realize how useful they are until I had one on me all the time.

This is a knife I pack from time to time. My wife got it for me for Christmas 10 years ago. I have decided to pass it on to my son when he gets old enough to know how to treat it.. I hope he can get as much enjoyment out of it as I have.

This is a bad pic of a great knife. Curved stamp Schrade. I believe it has a factory edge. 1904-1916.
