Robeson pocket knives
Re: Robeson pocket knives
Well, here's one sweet knife that I'm glad is in my camp. Slightly abused with pitted blades and some one used the end of the large bolster as a hammer. Don't ya love that.
In spite of that it's still smooth and strong. No wobble, and half stops on the secondaries. 3 5/8". 622225
Thanks for looking.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Joe, nice whittler. The handles are nice and don't seem to show any wear.
Re: Robeson pocket knives
Joe, that secondary clip blade is probably my favourite blade on a knife. Not sure if that's the correct terminology but they have a great look. nice knife.
Re: Robeson pocket knives
Thank you, Keith.
I think your terminology is accurate. I like that blade too. It's on a few of my knives.
It doesn't show up very often, but when it does it really stands out.

What a beauty that one is FRJ, I can see why you are pleased to have it. That old Robeson bone is about as classy looking as they come IMO

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Is this a Swell Center Whittler ? not sure if the sides are straight or if there is just a slight center swell ?

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Yes, it's a swell center whittler.
Both sides swell at the center.
It's easier to see if you enlarge them.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Very nice, Joe.
Robeson also made that as a two blade knife with the two clips.
I call that secondary clip an "Exaggerated Clip". That's my terminology, but I think Cindy Taylor might have used it, too.
Here's my example. I have had this knife a long time. I think I bought it at the 1989 Blade Show.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Thank you, Charlie.
Exaggerated clip seems like a fitting term.
Do you have the two blade model?
Your knife is fine example of this great pattern.
The swell center shows better in your photograph.

Beautiful Swell Center Whittlers Joe and Charlie! Robeson really did some wonderful jigging as these examples show!! These are real prizes in any vintage folding knife collection

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Thank you, Lloyd.
The jigging is nice on these Robesons but the fineness of the mechanical build is what sets Robeson apart from others.

Here is a Jack tang stamped Robeson/ShurEdge(script)/USA—1916-1939. It has wonderful chiseled/gouged bone handles. It is in great condition with full blades and very nice W&T with loud snap from both blades when opened.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Very nice,Lloyd. OK, we're back to jigging as far as being impressive.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Here's a nice old serpentine Robeson. I guess it's a stockman with that spey but has a pen instead of a sheepsfoot. 3 15/16"
It still has factory edges on all blades. Not a half stop to be found. I think this thing sat somewhere for a long time.
