Julia Child And Emerson Case - Robeson Cutlery

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.

Julia Child And Emerson Case - Robeson Cutlery

Post by knifeaholic »

The book As Always, Julia has some letters from Julia Child regarding the "Frozen Heat" kitchen knives made by Robeson. Interesting correspondence. Apparently Julia Child was a collector of kitchen knives and had over 800 chef's knives, or so I have heard.

I hope that I am not violating any copyrights by posting these images of the book pages (mods delete if you think it may be a problem).

Very interesting Steve, thanks for posting them ::tu::

Stuff like this is what the Knife Lore forum is all about.

I see she liked the Robeson knives but did not like the fact they had to be sent back to the factory for re-sharpening!
