Yes, you said that which is why i asked what they are.
It is a very neat little knife with the flush & square joint. There is one handle material whose name you might prefer to not specify by name. It does not really look like it in your pictures, but this substance is difficult to fully 'capture' in pictures, so i think likely this is "it", the new unmentionable.
If this is so it makes the knife even "neater" and highly desirable to many of us.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
They are imitation pearl celluloid.
Not sure I'd call it cracked ice or mother of toilet seat.
Maybe their diminutive size keeps them from looking like Crack ice.
Maybe they are French pearl.

Not all Robeson knives were built that way, though.

My one and only Robeson (#626056) is an example of "not Pocketeze". I had it up on ebay, but the whole time was hoping it wouldn't sell.
So I'll let it wear a whole in my pocket awhile!

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Lan, It looks like it has a split handle.
IMHO, I skip over those knives because some of them are too important to alter, and I do not want to be the guy that does change their history.
I get the collectors that do cherish broken knives but for the most part I see collectors that buy pristine knives at CRAZY prices.
IF I had throw away money... People would be scrambling over paper scraps. I'd own every knife ever made.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
It's a nice old knife and the bone tells me it is circa WWII.
It's got some good steel in it, too.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
I've got one like that. It's an old work knife of mine.
I wouldn't sell it for anything.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Very nice, Joe.
Kathy and Bret have a very nice example of that pattern.
I have one, but it had been cleaned before I bought it.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Thank you, woodwalker.
Thank you, Charlie. I wonder where they posted it. I did a bit of a search but only found one thread with a very clean knife.
I wish Kathy and Bret would post more. Miss their post and they have some really nice knives.
Thanks for looking all.

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.
