When I first got back into knife collecting in 1988, I chose Robeson bacause I had two mint Strawberry bone handled knives, John Primble, because Belknap Hardware had just gone out of business and Case 1970 Ten Dots, as they were then eighteen years of age, represented a change in Case's tang stamping and they were still readily available.
I sold all the Primbles and Cases to Jim Sargent at a Birmingham gun show in 1992.
The other day, I came across these photographs that I made in 1991, using a laboratory camera stand at the university where I worked.
Actually, they aren't very good. Focus is not great and for some reason, I chose to use B/W film.
Anyway, here are the thirty-six 1970 Ten Dots I collected between 1988 and 1991. Photos are in no particular order and I'm not about to try to put pattern numbers on them. Some I know, most I cannot recall.
The knives with white appearing handles, are either genuine pearl or yellow composition. You guys decide which are which.
Looking back at them, it looks like I bought nice knives.
Photos should expand with a left mouse click.

There are a lot of knives that I remember from when I was a kid that are now 50 years old, hard to think of them as old knives.
Thanks, I was beginning to think I'd missed an issue of small Barlows after coming across an 024 variant the other week that I"d never seen before; your pic let my imagination get the best of me.
