SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Just picked up this little nugget that I will enjoy carrying. I really like the bone color, and it has surprisingly strong snap for such a small knife.

Nice little 064.
Prior to WWII they made that with brown/green bone and also as a pearl handled whittler.

The bone is not common either, but I have seen it.

This one is on ebay right now (not mine). It's got cracks on the other side, and I can't see if the tang stamp is the same, but the bone jigging looks similar.

*After further viewing, the color is the same, but the jigging isn't the same. Kind of similar, but not as close as I thought.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Very nice letter opener.
They were made with celluloid handles, too.
I’ve seen a Pearl handled one that had been turned into a nice blade opener by breaking off the long blade and reshaping the tang.
Actually not a bad idea if you don’t mind sacrificing a collectible item.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Here is a Robeson PocketEze pen knife I just recently acquired. It is 3.25 inches closed with a spear master and an opposite end nail file. The tang stamp is marked Robeson/ShurEdge (script)/U.S.A. This tang stamp dates the knife to circa 1916-1939. It is in very excellent condition with no evidence of use, carry or sharpening post production. The PocketEze shield has the full red paint background with not a speck missing which is highly unusual because most were well used and carried. It has fully sunken joints a unique feature to most of the PocketEze line. I say most because I have some early PocketEze folders that do not have sunken joints. The bone grips are worm groove jigged with no cracks or splits. This is pattern no. 622416. There is a photo of one in David Clark’s reproduction of a saleman catalog dating from 1908—1930 on page 5. This one has a cut in the mark side frame and handle to access the nail file and no swedge on the mark side spear. Mine is opposite with a cut in the pile side frame and handle and a swedge on the mark side primary spear. Thanks for looking!!

A 4 1'4" 037 cigar jack. Decent, not great.

Beautiful knives, Charlie.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Thank you, Charlie. My Robeson collection is tiny, but growing. And they all will fit in the pocket nicely.
I looked for a Terrier knife this weekend at a Tupelo show, but no luck.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Good Terriers are hard to come by. I've been looking for them since about 1990 and I only have twenty-five. That averages out to a little better than one knife per year.
And most came off Ebay, even the mint ones.
