That's one well taken care of Robeson Joe.
Never met a Pearl Handled Knife I did not like.

Very happy to get this nice Robeson today.

Thanks for looking.

Wow, Joe, I can see why you are very happy! Pearl like that would make me smile for sure. You did a good job on showing the fire in that pearl: nice photography!

[FRJ]

Thank you, Dan. Don't you love those pearls?

Mel, I appreciate your kind and complementary remarks.

I think the pearl Robeson came from Charles ? His knives are always a pleasure to receive. I was going for this one hoping it might fly under the radar. Your pics show it to be a very fine example. Superb knife !

But, not this Charles.

I saw that one. It's a beautiful knife. I started to bid as a speculator, but I had my sights set on other things.

Congratulations on that one, Joe.

What I want most dearly is a Terrier Cutlery Company Orange Blossom in that kind of condition. I've only seen one. It was in a display in Waterbury, CT in 1998.

Robeson Orange Blossoms in bone are rare, I think.

This one sold on Ebay a couple of years ago. I would have bid heavily on this knife, but a fellow AAPK member wrote me, asking about the knife before I saw it on Ebay. I didn't think I could give valid advice to him and then bid against him.

He didn't get it either.

This knife had the most fantastic bone.

Photos should expand with a left click or two.

Thank you, Charlie.
Yes, a Terrier would be the cream of the crop. I wonder if it's still in this neck of the woods.

My knife came from Oklahoma.

The knife you are showing is quite beautiful. Good ol' Robeson.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments.

Charlie you are Charlie not Charles.
Your story about not bidding because someone else showed you the listing is something i would like to see discussed.
What would be the best forum ? One that is visited by most of us.

Don't know, Roland, but I've always treated Ebay like a knife show. If I have a friend or acquaintance that is bidding on a knife, I do not bid, just as I would not interrupt a sales discussion between seller and potential buyer at a table at a knife show.

If they bow out or defer to me, as you once did on a Terrier knife, then yes, I'll bid.

I do not utilize Ebay as I would a live auction in an auction house amongst a room full of strangers.

Roland I'd suggest you start a thread on that topic in General Knife Discussion.
