Another Ka-Bar scout/utility.
I used to have an OVB marked scout. Not sure I ever scanned it, though.
A Continental jack.
Two different Stevenson four blade utilities from WWII.
(note the screwdriver and can-opener blades in the first one.)

Re: LETS SEE SOME ROBESON CONTRACT KNIVES
sweet ones, so the can opener made its transformation during the war period
of contract knives for the army , bet it was faster to make that style for production
and stuck still like the solid screw drivers over the ones with the opener.
how can you tell on the jack robeson made it?
and did Robeson make a birdseye scout or is that a ka-bar design

Not really.
The military mandated that can opener, I believe, in 1944. All manufacturers had to make the knives with a uniform blade mix.
Robeson made scout/utilities made just after WWII had the same old style blades. In fact, I'm not at all sure the blades did not remain the same until after Robeson's demise in 1965, and Camillus started making Robeson marked knives for Cutler Federal.
The strawberry bone handled knife below dates 1948 - 1959.
I'd have to look at a bunch of Delrin handled, post 1959 knives to see how this progressed.

Here is another Globe scout/utility.
I still own this one.
Some interesting knives in this old thread that I had completely forgotten.
