SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON

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.

It's not in the greatest shape, but I brought this little guy home for a few bucks over the weekend. Measures 2 3/4" closed.

Thanks for looking,

That is a nice little knife. If you oil it and simply carry it it will buff up in your pocket.
Also, I think I'd stone the edges. ::nod::

Thanks Joe. Yes, it'll definitely be seeing lots of carry time.

The secondary blade looks like a cigar box opener with the bottle opener. I have a couple 6 blade Wilberts with that blade included.____Dave

Hi, inherited this Robeson...was my great grandfather's.

Any info on model or other much appreciated. Looking at markings and using references on this great forum...is it 1911-21 ?
Many Thanks!
