Great looking knives on this page.
Here's another pearl Robeson to add to my pile. Robeson sure made a fine little knife in these pearls.
Thanks for looking.

Here's a nice Barlow that came in today. Good ol' Robeson, they give you a round bolster.
Any other Barlow makers do that?

There are several companies that offer similar bolsters on their Barlows. Two that come to mind are Queen and Kutmaster. That's a nice Robeson.

That's a nice knife, circa 1948 - 1959.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
I just acquired this large Robeson Serpentine Trapper off the big auction site. Got it for what I think was a good price. It is a ROBESON/SHUREDGE/USA (822482) on tang and Pocket Eze on shield. 4.5 inches long. It is in very good condition with some discoloration and minor corrosion and some very small areas of pitting. Has been sharpened but looks to have 95 or so percent of blades rewmaining with good function and WT from both blades. I know this tang stamp was used both pre and post WWII(1940--1964). Anyone know approximately when this Traper was made? Thank you very much! Lloyd

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Best estimate would be 1940 to 1965.
That is one of the patterns they chose to continue in the post 1948 period when they severely cut back on the number of patterns they offered.
I think the "PocketEze" shield dates the knife early in that time frame, most likely prior to 1948.
They made it in genuine stag and yellow composition. Not sure if they continued with a jigged bone version.
Prior to WWII, they made that knife pattern with different blade configurations.
That's a nice one. But, keep an eye on the handles.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Thanks Charlie! I appreciate the insights on the potential time period for this large Robeson Trapper folder. I hear you on the handles. It is a very well crafted folder and still functions so nicely for a folder of this vintage. Thanks again, Lloyd

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
I found this little beauty walking around the Allentown, PA Ag Hall gun show yesterday. This one of the better local shows in these parts, not too much garbage and many vendors of vintage arms of all sorts, parts guys, sight guys. A good show. A 2.75 inch Robeson senator with ebony covers, nickel silver liners and pins. Its been used but no wobble and really great snap both ways both blades. Very slim, this will be carried and ride easy in the pocket. Both blades are marked, no pattern number though.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Just acquired this Robeson EE small jack--3 & 1/8 inches. Very nice overall condition but has been cleaned/polished but not to aggressively. Really nice top quality craftsmanship with W & T. Springs perfectly flush when either blade fully extended, solid no wobble when either blade open, no gaps and perfect transitions. It is celluloid So will have to segregate and watch it. But it sure is beautiful with no indication of any problems yet. It is a model or pattern number 822106. Tang stamped Robeson/Shuredge/Rochester on primary and Robeson/U.S.A./Cutlery on secondary or pen. I think these tang stamps would indicate original production sometime between 1922--1939. I like the shield on this one. Any comments or more information greatly appreciated! Thanks, Lloyd

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Thanks Monte, David and Joe for the nice remarks about this Robeson cell Jack! I just love these vintage cell folders but you have to be careful with them. This one is 75+ years old and hasn't gassed out yet. Heck, I will probably gas out before this one does Lloyd
PS: Monte that is a wonderful Robeson--love the Shield! Ken that is one beautiful and classy Robeson Whittler

Could you please share the pattern number?
That is is not a common knife. I don't think I have one.
I did copy some Ebay photos several years ago of a knife marked "F. C. CO.", which stands for Fulton Cutlery Company. Every Fulton I've ever seen was a Robeson knife and most still had a bit of the Robeson tang stamp remaining.
Whether Fulton bought factory seconds, ground off the tangs and restamped them or Robeson did the work themselves, I have no idea.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Just recently acquired these two Robeson folders. The smaller pen folder is 3.25 inches long closed and the the Jack is 3.50 inches long closed. The Pen Blade shows no use with full blades and no evidence of having been sharpened. The bigger Jack is in excellent condition showing minor use with almost full blades lightly sharpened. The pen is main tang blade stamped Robeson/Shuredge (script)/Rochester and the smaller blade tang stamped Robeson/USA/Cutlery. The Jack is main blade tang stamped Robeson (script) /Shuredge/USA and pen blade tang stamped Robeson/Cutlery
