HEY!
I attended an auction this weekend and bought a selection of knives. A pearled handled TERRIER Cutlery which I understand is a brand of Robeson. I also got a nice pearl Robeson #732105. If this is of interest to any of you, please contact me privately. I would like to learn more about them before going EBAY
Any interest in Terrier Cutlery Co. from Robeson

Hello pa knives.
In checking Terrier Cutlery Co. out, it appears as though they were a business circa 1910-1916, who had Robeson make knives for them on contract. So, not technically a Robeson brand, I don't think, but contract knives. Goins' book mentions this, and that the knives are/or may be stamped Robeson on the smaller blades. Does this sound like yours?
No matter what, sounds like a nice find.

Edited to add "or may be" as clarification.

Poor choice of words on my part. You are right, it is a contract knife. Both blades are stamped Terrier Cutlery with a dog on the back side. No reference to Robeson. Pearl handles and very good condition. If you know anyone interested let me know. I will be listing it soon on ebay with some others it no one wants it.
