Robeson PermaLube--oilless bearing
Robeson PermaLube--oilless bearing
Robeson PermaLube oilless bearing. 623605 - 3 1/16" closed.
Here is a beautiful equal end pen that has hardly been handled. The edges of the beautiful bone are still sharp.
This PermaLube has a piece of bronze inserted in each end of the spring to create a very smooth action in opening and closing
the blade. It works. It's very smooth. The bronze does not come to the end of the spring, as shown in pictures. The bronze can be seen in the spring on both ends in pictures.
The PermaLube differs from the Mastercraft as the bronze is on the tang of the Mastercraft.

Re: Robeson PermaLube--oilless bearing
Thanks so much for the comments, guys. I'm glad you like the knives.
The PermaLube is new to me and I've had the Mastercraft for a while now.
I find it very interesting Robeson history.
Quite unique really. Robeson was willing to do things like this in this era and keep their standards high.
A great brand.

That was some great pics showing the bronze on the spring and the tang of the Perma Lube and Mastercraft. That Perma-Lube ETCH is
just great.

Re: Robeson PermaLube--oilless bearing
Steve, can you actually see the bronze inserts on the ends of the backspring on that knife.
The shield has the appearance of having been close to outgassing celluloid. I'm not sure it's actually bronze.
The pattern number 676 is consistent with MasterCraft or Perma-Lube patters, though.
Hope I'm wrong.

I've been looking for a Robeson Permalube for a very long time. Does anyone have a Permalube for sale?
