Robeson sure did wonders with red bone. Love that grandaddy Barlow!
Everything's better with a Barlow

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Just bought this one on ebay, the reason--I like old knives, jig bone handle scales, and muskrats. That's all I have to say about that. How old" 1965-77? I think. thanks for looking, Terry
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Picked up this one today. It's about 3 1/4" maybe 3 3/8". Blades are solid with great snap and half-lock.
The tang stamp isn't like any I saw listed, so crossing my fingers it's legit.

In my second edition of Knives Can Talk I believe it dates your knife at 1896-1899.
Nice little bare head jack you have there.

Thank you. What's throwing me off is I thought there should be a "The" before Robeson in that stamp.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
LanG, I agree with you but that stamp is as close as I could find as a match to yours.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
I have never seen that stamp and I don't think Tom Kalcevic references it in any of his books, because I don't think the word "THE" was ever on those tangs, so I believe you have uncovered a previously undocumented stamp.
It's possible the blades were marked with a broken stamp die, but there's no way we'll ever know that.
It would help if you posted a good photo of the master blade stamp.
The bone is not common either, but I have seen it.

Thanks for responding Charlie.

I spent last night browsing through the Robeson forum looking for any similar bone without success.
I was concerned that it may have been rehandled, but the pins look original (to my untrained eye).
Most of the pins stick out a bit. Do bone handles ever shrink over time?
Here's an attempt at better photos. Please let me know if any others will help.
