622119 ShurEdge English Jack?

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.

622119 ShurEdge English Jack?

Post by afishhunter »

Anyone know what the years of production were?
I've heard it was discontinued after 1939.

I'm guessing it is a fairly rare model. I have not been able to find another either here, or on ePrey.

Nice one. Houston Price had it valued at $130 in his 1991 "Guide". Pretty sure its value has gone up in 31 years. :D ::tu:: J.O'.

Nice knife.

Robeson did continue that pattern and another with a spear blade, after WWII. They had strawberry colored bone handles and date 1948 to 1959 or 60.

The tang stamp on your knife has been dated by Tom Kalcevic, to be 1911 to 1921.

Really? I "thought" it matched the 1922 to 1939 tang stamp I saw online.
Ither way, it older than I R by at least a generation. (figuring 17 or 18 years between generations.) :)
