SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Nice Robeson's everyone
Picked up a 646208 large 4 1/8' Congress, close to full blades, looks to be 1920's, 1930's which seemed to be the peak of the Congress pattern. Apparently very popular down South and most you find are heavily used.

Jacks, stock knives, pearl senators and a gorgeous old large frame congress.
You guys are killing it in this forum.
I haven't bought any Robeson knives in a while, but I did come across this.
Not really sure what it is, but pretty sure it wasn't meant to be an ashtray.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Here are a couple that I recently added......the Pocket Eze is 3" and the larger jack goes 3 5/8"

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
A couple of real beauties there, Ike.
From one of the best USA cutlery's ever.
Those two patterns were probably very popular for Robeson.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Congrats on two winners. Those are killer knives, and the bone on that swell end jack on the bottom is to drool for. That is a fabulous pair. Well done.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Very nice knives shown here lately.
They made that 100 pattern as a Whittler, as well.
I’d post a photo, but it no longer belongs to me.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
I'm not really lucky at finding many nice Robeson knives. But, I picked these two up as a set from Knifeaholic. The first one is a 512224 5 inch closed Large Daddy Barlow. Red bone handles with no cracks, the blade has great snap, but does show some wear, and has just a faint side to side. it has the ROBESON SHUREDGE U.S.A. tang stamp on the front side of the blade and 512224 on the pile side. I did do a warm mineral oil soak on this one and flush out the blade well and spine. Wiped her down and oiled the joints. I love the bone on this one.
The next one is a Robeson 623480 Serpentine Trapper. 2-3/8" closed is my best measurement. It has Red jigged bone handles with oval ROBESON shield. The master clip blade does show some wear, no wobble, but no snap on closing, but on opening does lock. The secondary pen blade has excellent snap. This will still make a good edc carry.Sometimes I Sit and Think .... Other times I just Sit

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
I now have only 3 Robeson pocket knives. This one is a 3" pen knife with a "Mastercraft" shield. I think the pattern is a Swell Center Congess Pen (Levine, pg. 247). Blade etch "Nev-R-Bind-Oil-Less-Bearings". There is a small piece of brass on the tang and end of the spring. Milled steel liners.
Back tang of master blade has "62366L", and back tang of secondary "Pat. App."
I think Mastercraft was Robeson's top line ?

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Thank you Smitty.
Here is my last Robeson, a 3 3/4" Pocketeze "Stabber" Jack. It is quite a heavy duty knife with a saber ground spear point master blade. Used & sharpened with pen secondary worn down to more of an awl profile. But, still, it is my favorite Jack knife.
