A Robeson Cutlery Collection On Display

The first Robeson knives were imported by Millard Robeson from England and Germany exclusively. This continued from 1979 until 1896 when Robeson began manufacturing knives in the United States. Since inception, the company has gone through several reorganizations & eventually ended up as a Queen Cutlery brand.

I'm so Thankful that I don't work around the corner from Jim's store, I would be so broke I couldn't eat.

I haven't been in Jim Sargent's shop in many years.

I know he has turned the knife business over to his son, Jace, but Jim still deals in vintage pocketknives. I saw him at the Blade Show and he had just as nice an offering as ever. His selection of Case and Remington knives was very impressive.

I know he misses Jean and he is looking a bit older himself.

He's a fascinating man. As I recall, he was a pilot for The Oak Ridge Nuclear Research Facility.

Probably has some great stories, some of which he cannot tell.
