Hello to all and I must say a huge thank you because if it wasn't for this forum I would not know that I have a Radio Special 632800.
It's such a strange looking thing and now I know why...

Welcome to AAPK!!
That's a very rare knife. In all my years of collecting Robeson knives, I have never had the opportunity to purchase that pattern.

Re: Radio Special
Nice knife! Almost 100 years ago, they knew how to put a wrench in a proper place and make it workable. I've seen the guts of those old tube radios, and that long wrench will get in there well. The Swiss decided to do that some 70 years after they did, but put it in the middle of the knife, and the tool is so short, you couldn't possibly get it to turn normal sized bolts and nuts. Especially odd they didn't use the Robeson design for the wrench when they almost exactly copied Valley Forge's design for their knife with pliers. It's why I like collecting these old multitools--many of them would have features and designs that wouldn't become mainstream until the New Millennium.

I had a chance to buy one last year for $325. I did not get it
