Robeson Help

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.

Robeson Help

Post by Paladin »

Guys,
Here I am asking for help on another Robeson. I thought I'd surely find info on this one but I could not. The tang stamp does not match up to anything I can find. I have come to the conclusion that it is one of the more current knives made by Queen. Is that correct? Date of manufacture?
Can you help?

Thanks in advance,
Ray

This is not a Queen made Robeson.
According to Tom Kalcevic's tang stamp chart. 1965-1975.

Thanks, David. I just struggle with Robesons. Can't seem to get it right.

That one is a later knife, made by Camillus after Robeson ceased business.
