Help With A 626636

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.

Help With A 626636

Post by Case Preferred »

I have this 626636, SHUREDGE, but it is NOT an "Iron Liner and Bolster" it is a "Brass Liner and Nickel-Silver Bolster. Is this common or just an error in blade placement/stamping?

No. Because I have many knives with a "6" in the third position that have brass liners and nickel- silver bolsters.

And your knife, even though the pattern number calls for bone handles, actually has black composition, which indicates circa WWII manufacture or shortly thereafter.

For whatever reason, bone was not readily available during the war.

Thanks. I didn't think it was bone...it just "feels" different.
