Old Doctor Knives
Didn't see a thread dedicated to old Doctor knives.
I only have a few old ones, they seem hard to find in good condition but I pick one up when I can.
This one has nice jigged bone handles
Show 'em if you got 'em

Re: Old Doctor Knives
Here are a couple from Robeson.
The Strawberry bone one might not be as "Old" as Dimitri was intending, but it's pre-1960.
The pearl is pre-WWII.
The three blade pearl is not the typical pattern for "Doctor's Knife", but it is a physician's pattern with flexible spatula blade for blending compounds or sorting/counting pills and tablets, a corkscrew for opening old medicine bottles and a pen blade. It predates 1900 and was made for Millard Robeson in Germany.

Re: Old Doctor Knives
They do seem difficult to find and normally have to pay up to acquire them. I only have 3.

Re: Old Doctor Knives
Nice knives guys! This H. Boker is the only one I have.
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).
Re: Old Doctor Knives
A great showing of knives here.
I'm not sure who made this one. 3 9/16" closed.
EDIT: No number stamped on this one.

Re: Old Doctor Knives
It's amazing when you get a clue...........: Thank you, Dimitri.
I can see how that would say Rochester on that secondary tang. And the "R" is missing in front of the "C" on the main blade.
Well, that's pretty nice. I've got two Dr. knives from Robeson. The other one will surface later.
Here is a Rhode Island Knife Co. pearl. 3 1/4" closed. There can't be too many knives with this stamp laying around.

Re: Old Doctor Knives
Glad I could help you Joe
Wow! Now that's my kind of knife
And your right can't be many of those in circulation

Re: Old Doctor Knives
Here is an Oakland Cutlery Co.
A very well made knife with a kind of composite material for covers.
I believe that's all I have to show.
Thanks for looking.
