Some time ago, this pocket knife was amongst a large group of pocket knives that I bought. I did NOT purchase the group to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, I was quite surprised and pleased that it was in the group. It got added to my general pocket knife collection. It is a ROBESON ShurEdge, pattern # 633728, three blades, two tang stamps, 3 5/16" closed, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "ROBESON (over) ShurEdge (underlined) (over) U.S.A." The main blade back tang stamp says, "633728" There is writing and the remains of writing on the main blade, possibly on both sides. What I can read, and I am still NOT 100% sure, looks like CQX(?) or COX(?), underlined and over 2.25 (possibly a salesman sample?). Overall, it is in VERY GOOD+ condition. I did NOT attempt to clean it. I did not want to risk erasing the writing. I took some pictures and here it is.

Schrade Walden 880 with a broken tip on the sheep foot, but otherwise decent shape. Great snap, all blades tight no wobble, mostly full. Decent peach seed, and like the saber grind main.

Thanks John, that grind was a lot of what drew me in. Love them. Cleaned it up and put edges on it. Amazing how dull knives can get and nobody sharpens them well beyond the time they can't cut any more.

My old Case 6375. Got this from the original owner. His father owned a hardware store. He told me it went in a drawer and that's where it stayed until I bought it from him.

Thanks a lot, I'm really liking it. It's been used hard and long but still tight no wobble and so smooth. Plenty to blade left too. That's a pair of bones there. Beautiful color, cool jigging. Excellent looking great old knife. ::tu::

This pocket knife arrived recently and it now becomes my latest example to join this topic or thread. It is also the latest example to join my general pocket knife collection. It came in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. I did NOT buy the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it did turn out to be a keeper. It is a KINGSTON, three blades, one tang stamp, 3 1/4" closed, stockman, pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "KINGSTON (over) U.S.A." The main blade has no half stop. It has a soft opening and closing snap. The secondary blade has no half stop. It has a soft opening and closing snap. The third blade has no half stop, but it does have a good opening and closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. It did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off.
I took some pictures and here it is.

It also became the latest example to join my general pocket knife accumulation. I did NOT buy the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, it did turn out to be a keeper. It is an UNBRANDED, three blades, 3 1/4" closed, stockman, pattern or style of pocket knife. If this pocket knife ever had a tang stamp or tang stamps, it doesn't now. The main blade has no half stop, but it does have a good opening and closing snap. The secondary blade has no half stop. It does have a decent opening and closing snap. The third blade has no half stop, however it has an ok opening and closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in GOOD condition. It did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off.
