[royal0014]

Cleaned up real good Mike

[FRJ]

It just looked like an interesting knife so I bought it. Mike

Those Robesons are eye catchers.

Nice clean up on you new Robeson, Mike.

Is there a number on the back of the tang?

I never could find a number. If there was one.... it's gone now.



It's a cute little joker.... sure does tote nicely!

Mike,
I've got this knife that is similar to yours. Mine is 3 3/8" closed.

Yours is an older and smoother knife.
If I can describe yours as a tear drop jack I think I can date yours at 1922-1939.

I'm not sure where to date mine. Probably in the 60s some where.
No numbers on mine either.

Lots of pin spinner malfunction.

[stockman]

Nice a beauty.

Mine measures 3 3/8" also..... They are definitely kin folk....
Thanks for the date info.

Joe, your Robeson jack dates 1916 - 1939.

Robeson never used such bone in the 60's.

Waukonda; that's a very nice Strawberry bone handled English Jack. They made a similar knife with a spear master blade, the 151 pattern.

Thanks for the comments, appreciate it. Great looking knife with the spear blade, I think I like it better.

Ike, this is a beautiful knife.

[FRJ]

Ike, your English jack is indeed beautiful.

Thank you, Charlie, for the information. One thing that made me think the knife was not older than it is is the fact that
it has hardly been handled much less used. The edges of the bone are still kind of sharp. So I thought it was newer.
Thanks for the insight. Your knife is also a real beauty. The spear is always a useful and great looking blade.

Here's a little Robeson I picked up at the show in Marlborough, Massachusetts, on Sunday. 3 1/16" closed.

I love that little knife with its sabre-cut clip blade.

I have one.

I've never seen that smooth black composition outgas. I'm not sure what it is.

Thank you, Chris and thank you, Charlie.

I cannot access my 646 right now, but its high number makes me wonder if they are not MasterCraft or Perma-Lube knives with the Oiless Bronze Bearings.

It's worth taking a look.

I have that same little black knife with pattern number 823248

Harold

[FRJ]

Nice one, Harold. The 646 and the 248 have me puzzled.
With bright light and loupe I can only see the usual steel half stops of tangs in the well. Blades open.
No bronze.

I never studied Robeson pattern numbers think I will dig a book out see what's up. Harold

Don't know what I did in that post but I haven't been out of Kansas. Harold

I greatly enjoy this thread as, of all the production knives I have, Robeson is my favorite company. Here is a shot of a strawberry bone English jack and a spey Barlow.

[FRJ]

Welcome here, JJ McCall. You have some beautiful knives.
