Robeson pocket knives

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.

Here's a nice little Robeson with an even smaller "little sister" in last pictures.

3" and 2/34". The shorter knife was posted on previous page here.

It's nice to bring this good thread up again with a new little sleeve board. I think this is an older knife. Not a Shuredge. And very well made, as one would expect from Robeson. 3 3/8".
Thanks Lyle :D
Thanks for looking.

Yes, JuneBug. Me too.

Off the top of my head, 1915 to 1922, for that arched stamp on a master blade.

And that picked bone denotes age, as well.

Thanks Tommy.
It's got somewhat thick bolsters therefor has somewhat thick scales which give it a nice heft.

Here's another nice little Robeson pen. Some kind of plastic covers. Brass pins and liners.
Nice blades. No half stops.

That's a nice little knife. ::tu::

I thought I had one just like it, but mine has a pattern number of 722550 and yours appears to be 722735.

The only difference that jumps out at me is the location of the bail.

Not sure of the length of mine at the moment.

Wondering why they would have produced both patterns.

Thanks, Charlie.
Yours is very nice as well.
Mine has a long match strike or coined pull on the manicure blade to facilitate cleaning nails. It is 735.
Would that help date it in any way?

I don't have mine in hand, but I'm pretty sure the file blade has that groove on the back side.

Tom Kalcevic's published date for the stamp, which I think is ROBESON / ShurEdge / ROCHESTER,N.Y., 1911 - 1921.

Another Robeson came my way today. A nice Pocket Eze with an unusual blade.
I bought it from Steve Pfeiffer and he said it was a wood carving blade. 3 5/8".
