SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON

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.

Here are a couple of Robeson Demonstrators I have acquired recently. The one on top is a 3 & 3/8 inch pen knife or senator if you like and the other is a 3 inch split back whittler pattern.
Nice, Lloyd, can't pick a favorite! ::tu:: ::tu::

Just received this Terrier. 3 blades half stop and strong snap. Main blade no stop or snap and main blade won’t close. Mushy when I press down on it. Ideas to fix main blade? Or just deal with it. Thanks.

I fished this Robeson Shuredge peanut out of the 'Bay recently, and patched the mark-side bone handle. It has been well used, but not used up.

Nice Terrier. I’ve not seen one like that.

Oil it up and try to clean out from beneath that blade that won’t close. Hope that helps.

If the tang is worn down, not much to do, but have someone build it back up.

Or, just display it the way is.

That Robeson is nice. Saber-cut clip blade.

I had one like that at one time.

Picked up this well loved 922295. Badge measures 1.8mmx0.5mm. Any insight on where I could get a badge for this knife? Also curious if there's more info to sharpen the date of manufacturing? ::hmm::

This is my most recent Robeson pickup. It’s a desk knife in the original box with stunning pearl handles. The company logo etched on the letter opener blade was a mahogany mill in Louisville, KY in the early 1900’s. Cool piece in my opinion

Just gave this recent pickup a Mother's and Ren wax treatment, I really like a small knife w/tipped bolsters and some classic bone scales.

Nice knife Ike ! As MB stated already “ nice bone “ .
Still toting the 2 blade Robeson you sent this way a while back. They made a great pocket knife. Thanks for sending this one up north . We don’t see many Robeson knives up here. Have a great Sunday my friend ::handshake::
