All About Pocket Knives

Or anyone who could help.
3in, celluloid handles, threaded bolster.
Tang stamp:
ROBESON (arched)
USA
CUTLERY
I believe that's 1922-1939

It has perfect square joints.

Is this considered a quill knife?
The color is more yellow than white.

Any information would be great!

Would that be a replica of George Washington's pocketknife? Reminds me of the Camillus one. If I recall, most were introduced to celebrate George Washington's 200th birthday.

I thought the same when I first saw it, but I don't remember Robeson making one.
Maybe they did??

After further researching.
It is a George Washington replica.
From 1936

I think Camillus 4 liners were made the same year, makes sense. I would have bet it was a higher quality Camillus.

Nice little knife, David.
Robeson did a good job on these as they usually do.
Square joints, as you pointed out, and don't you love that kick.
My blade looks like it has been ground at some point.

Thanks Joe. They are cool little knives.
I got this one today from my buddy and fellow AAPKer tinroof.

Perhaps a PM would insure you get his attention when he passes through again ...

I have figured it out by searching and finding an old post by Mr. Noyes.
It is a Robeson made replica of a knife given to George Washington by his mother.
Made in 1936.

Good work on the sleuthing . . .

Still, for those seeking Charlie's knowledge, a PM would be suggested I think

HEY!!

I’m still here.

I don’t check this forum daily anymore, but I do check it.

And yes, Robeson’s version of a George Washington Commemorative Knife, circa 1936.

I have a photo of the information sheet that came with the knife. I no longer own the knife or the paper, but still have a pic. Not home right now, so will post later today.

This is the one I used to own:

I need to see if Lodge 22 still has the original on display.

I believe this knife was actually made in 1932 not 1936.
On GW's 200th birthday.

You are correct.

A mistake I later realized, but never corrected.
