Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
I've got over twenty Terriers and not all have a Terrier head logo and not all have a pattern number.
The lack of either does not bother me a bit.
But, I do like that dog head to be on there.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Joe, your Terrier Jack Knife is sweet!
Here are pictures of my one and only (so far ) Terrier which I have because it is a Cattle knife - I wasn't seeking a Terrier specifically. However, it is very well made and now I pay more attention looking for the brand. It does not have the dog stamp or a pattern number.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
That is a nice old Terrier and its lack of the dog's head logo or a pattern number do not bother me one bit.
That's Robeson's 1905 patented punch blade. The bone is right and the shield is one that they used.
I'd be pleased to own that knife. If you ever think about selling or trading , I'd be interested. I have nice Robeson replacements for that one that you might like better.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Here is an Ebay auction for a Terrier knife that I've never seen before.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-3-Blade ... Sw5cNYVcL2
It is a large 4", at least, "Carpenter's Knife" as stamped into the green onyx celluloid handles.
Unfortunately, it has seen a great deal of use and it looks as though the celluloid is about to self-destruct.
I have seen this pattern before because I have an almost mint example that is stamped "ROBESON" instead of "TERRIER".
I guess this gives me a good idea of the age of my knife since Terriers were only made from 1910 to 1916.
As the pattern number on the Robeson is 832232, the number on the Terrier should be 232832.
Some of the auction pics followed by my Robeson.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
I am enjoying looking at all these nice Terrier knives!
Here is mine. 4 1/2" English Jack pattern. Blades are both stamped Terrier/Cutlery/Rochester, N.Y. and the master has the dog head on the reverse side. The second blade has the pattern number 151622 on the reverse side.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
That's a handful of Terrier cutlery right there.
The 151 and 119 were Robeson's big English jacks.
I've never seen either as a Terrier.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Charlie, those are some really great English Jacks. Thanks for posting those.
Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Roger, thanks for the compliment I missed on Dec. 19.
Another nice little Terrier. Still very solid after all these years. 2 1/2" closed.
Thanks for looking.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Nice knife.
Robeson made that pattern with longer bolsters that were about 1/3 of the knife's length.
I've always called it a "Barlow".
This one is stamped "ROBESON", but I'm still looking for a Terrier with the longer bolsters.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Thank you, Charlie.
Very nice little knife. In spite of its diminutive size it is still a Barlow pattern, right.
Would yours be a 236 like my little scruffy?

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
I just realized I had two of the little "Barlows".
This other one is in a little better condition.(scruffy lite?)
Shown with the little Terrier.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Charlie and Joe, I really like those small barrows. Beautiful knives!
Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Thank you, Jtx.
As old and used as mine are they still have responsive blades and springs and are very solid knives.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
All the ones I've seen, regardless of bolster length, that have a number, are 722236 patterns.
The Terriers, of course, have the numbers reversed and are 236722 patterns.
There is a long, very slim, pearl handled Robeson pen on Ebay right now with two blades and I've seen the pattern as a whittler in both pearl and bone.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Just picked up this Terrier in a batch of some Robeson's that I will be selling soon. I really like these lockbacks and also English jacks so this one fits in perfectly with the others I have.
