A Toothpick

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.

Joe, those are both very nice knives.

A nice conditioned toothpick from Robeson is hard to come by. Seems like folks that carried them liked to keep them sharp, whether they needed it or not. I've never had a bone handled 407 pattern knife.

I'm really struck by the similarity of the bone on those two. Definitely from the same time period.

Hi Charlie.
I see in Tom Kalcevic's book he shows a "Light Jigged Bone Tickler". 616405.
What would be the difference between the two knives?
Thank you.

Not sure. I don't think I know that pattern. I'll have to do a little research.

I misspoke earlier. I said I'd never had a bone handled 407 toothpick, but I should have said" brown bone", as I do have a mint one in Strawberry bone.
