I did a show and tell with a guy I know at a flea market today and he always has some great knives.
Paul is a pleasure to talk knives with. He's very knowledgeable. Far beyond my experience.
He had this beautiful old Robeson. Unfortunately I didn't have a better camera with me.
I've never seen this pattern before. Robeson Suredge and I believe USA on tang.
Don't have model #. Large knife. 4"?
Does anyone own anything like this?

Re: Robeson serpentine trapper
Sweet old knife. Is that smooth bone covers?
I'm sure Charlie will be along and pin the model down for you. He's a walking Robeson encyclopedia.

Re: Robeson serpentine trapper
Thanks, Joe. The covers are composition/plastic.
Dave, that's it in stag. Thanks for showing that knife. What a beauty.
My friends shield has "pocketease" on it.
Thanks a lot, guys.

Re: Robeson serpentine trapper
The handle shape number for these patterns was 482.
The "maize" composition handled knife should have a number similar to 822482 and Dave's stag 522482.
The presence of the "PocketEze" shield probably places the OP knife prior to WWII.
I suspect the tang stamp, as described by FRJ, is probably ROBESON / ShurEdge (script) / U.S.A.

Re: Robeson serpentine trapper
Yes.
First one is a stag handled Post WWII knife from the 1950's.
Second is a pre-WWII jigged bone handled knife with a different blade configuration and that is indicated by the "100" suffix added to the pattern number.
Both have the 482 handle-die shape.
I do not have it with maize composition.
