Robeson Barlow

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.

Stockman,
That is a great find. You reckon that one is the "Strawberry Red" the Robeson fellers talk about? It's always great to find a decent knife in a junk shop and sometimes the price is unbelievably low. That beats a new knife in a fancy box any day! ::tu::

You've found yourself a dandy knife there Stockman. The finish on those Robeson barlows is a bit more refined than on some other brands. That one looks like it's been used very little if any.
