All About Pocket Knives

Another one from Jazzygambler ,The rare Robeson cast saw pocketknife with 6 bids on it.https://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-OLD-VINTA ... 3622080592

That's not even a saw. Looks like someone really just trashed a blade with a Dremel grinding wheel. Why do people even buy the things? I've seen some, that if bought cheap, would be OK users, but that thing? That's the ugliest knife I've ever saw, and I even have a few POS fantasy knives from the Orient!

I looked at it over on the bay and wondered why. I can understand when it is to fancy something up or fit it for a particular purpose but ......

Maybe you could use it to pick a lock.

I also do quite a bit of Locksmith work, and 'No', it will not pick a lock.

It is not really old. Handles are jigged Delrin so after 1960.

Could this possibly be using Queen Robeson parts? Given all the parts, partially assembled knives, mostly completed knives, used warranty knives, and factory rejects on eBay these days, anything is possible.

Yes it could have no Robeson DNA in it. Might have been a Queen made knife, or as you suggest made by some one using parts obtained at Queen shut down.

Depends on where the pattern number is located. If on the back, it's a Robeson. If on the front, it's post 1965 and made by some other manufacturer for Cutler Federal or Ontario Knife.
