A Few Robeson Patterns From The Bay
Re: A Few Robeson Patterns From The Bay
Hi Charlie - but only one of those beautiful Robeson Girl Scout knives exist that I'm aware of and it's in your personal collection. I look almost daily for one to "pop-up" on eBay but no luck. That's such a rare and beautiful knife that I feel blessed to have your photograph as a placeholder in my collection. Tom

Re: A Few Robeson Patterns From The Bay
No, there are more around. Dino Bakeris up in Maryland has one, as does my friend Jan in Atlanta and Philco just bought one off Ebay this year.
Keep looking.
One of these days, probably sooner, more so than later, I'm going to have to start selling all this.
I'll give you a call. I could use a nice Hawaiian vacation.

Re: A Few Robeson Patterns From The Bay
Wonderful knives and they were all for sale right there on the bay… So Now, does everyone understand why Robeson is arguably The greatest American cutlery Co. of all time? And if you were to argue against this who would it be in favor of? I know who most would probably choose because there's not many to choose from but did they ever make a nicer/better knife than some of the knives Mr. Noyes shared with us? I don't know which of those I would choose if I was given my choice. I'm going back to look at the pics again. Thanks for taking the time to share these with us Sir.

Re: A Few Robeson Patterns From The Bay
Given my druthers, I'd go for that tear drop jack, it's quite early.
I don't generally like tarnished knives, but that big jack has an etch I've never seen on a pocketknife before, but have seen on a couple of straight razors.
But, the never see before or again knife is that 4" 091 whittler.

Oh, call me "Charlie", please. I'm not that old.

Re: A Few Robeson Patterns From The Bay
Yes Sir. Mr. Noyes I mean Chucky err ummm Charlie Well, I still can't make up my mind from the ones in this post but then again I don't know what's rare or not because around here they're all rare. I'm not a big fan of shadow's or tip bolsters but that pearl shadow humpback congress ? ? is one shadow I would love to own I mean WOW spiders and all. It looks so fragile though and hard to believe it's made it this far and remains in that condition. I wouldn't kick that one out of bed if it had a crack on both sides. And the little serpentine stockman with the tip bolsters and beautiful jig bone has changed the way I feel about them. Both of those sort of stand out to me because I normally wouldn't care as much for them as the others.
I thought someone would come up with a contender of sorts but….. psssssttttt All the cool kids are collecting Robeson's

Re: A Few Robeson Patterns From The Bay
I'm biased, of course, so I don't usually make claims re' Robeson being better than any other American cutlery manufacturer, but I have read in authoritative publications by authoritative experts that only Robeson and New York Knife occupy the topmost position in quality, but not necessarily in that order.

Re: A Few Robeson Patterns From The Bay
Thanks for the encouragement Charlie - I sometimes think the hunt is better thank the kill. Is Dino on AAPK; I too am in Maryland and I'd love to hook up with Dino some day. I know he contributed to Joe Kerr's book 600 Scout Knives so I'd love to see his Scout knife collection.
As far as a Hawaiian vacation, you might not be too far off. The hunt continues.
