Here are photos of a couple of Robesons I recently bought.
I am pretty sure the knife in the first photo is a radio repairman's knife but what is the second one?? Could it be a typesetters tool??
As always, any info appreciated. Age? Value?

I'm surely not the best person to comment but, I thought the typesetter blade came to a very fine point and was very slender?? Regardless of what they're called those are some nice k-nives. Those old boys sure have some character.

Paladin;
The Robeson radio knife is rare in any condition. An excellent+ example was on the internet a week or so ago with $750.00 Buy-It-Now price tag.
I do not own one of these, for obvious reasons.
The jack is a "Campers" knife. The cap-lifter/can-opener blade is just a variant that includes a screw-driver tip, as opposed to the more usual blade.
Here's my example.

Re: Robeson Radio Knife?
Thats some real nice Robesons. I consider myself one of the lucky few to own one of those radio electricians knives. Had to spend a pretty penny for it but didnt think twice.
Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand.
