Re: Mastercraft
What a lovely knife! Great find.
Re: Mastercraft
Very nice jack, David.
The small cap and the easy access to the pen give it a certain elegance; and that bone.

I sure love the Robeson bone.

Re: Mastercraft
David, what does “coined liners” mean and look like?

The edge of the liners have been machined like the edge of a coin. I know that's a bad description.Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 12:04 pm David, what does “coined liners” mean and look like?
I will try to post some pictures in a little bit.

The coined edges on the Mastercraft don't show up very well, so I included pictures of an Imperial and a HSB&Co.
I think you can see what I mean.

Re: Mastercraft
Thank you David. I have seen that before, just didn’t know what it was called. I see where the name came from. It’s very attractive on a knife.edge213 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 5:57 pmI take all the pictures using my tablet, so the quality is not the best.Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 12:04 pm David, what does “coined liners” mean and look like?

Re: Mastercraft
Great looking Robeson, David. I have a Mastercraft I bought off of Charlie but it's a Queen Cut Co, Titusville, PA modern knife.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

You're welcome Mark. I find them attractive also.

Re: Mastercraft
I like the OP knife.
Looks hefty.
Do the blades open and close in a smooth manner.
Assuming I am the “Charlie” referred to above, I do not think I have ever owned nor sold a Queen made MasterCraft knife.

Re: Mastercraft
Here's the knife, Charlie, and believe it or not I still have the PM. Like I posted though, it's made by Queen not Robeson, and I think that's why you were selling it.

Re: Mastercraft
By the way, that Peanut has three distinct stops, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 on the main blade. Never seen that before ??? Anybody ? J.O'.
Re: Mastercraft
Robeson Mastercraft knives had a bronze bearing on the tang of the blade. Some of these fell off resulting in the 3 stops.Ridgegrass wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 9:38 pm By the way, that Peanut has three distinct stops, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 on the main blade. Never seen that before ??? Anybody ? J.O'.
Robeson changed to Permalube, putting the bronze bearing on the spring.
There is a thread on here somewhere where Charlie explains this much better.

Re: Mastercraft
Thanks EDGE. The tang appears to have 3 "flats" ground along its edge, I get the use of half stops, especially on opposite pens on a single spring, but I'm puzzled by 1/4 and 3/4 open positions . Great for photos though.
Have a good Thanksgiving! J.O'.

Re: Mastercraft
Like he said above, your knife has lost its bronze bearing, leaving the tree little dovetail indentions that held it in place to catch on the backspring, resulting in the three stops you described.
It’s abnormal. The knife was not manufactured to have three stops, but to open smoothly on the now missing bronze bearing.
