Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Some of the bolster locks here aren’t new to me. But a couple are. Figured I’d post them here anyways. The fish knife and the old bone English jack are the newest additions.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
You probably already know this but use caution with pressure on the bone at the lock. No support there.
Those are beautiful knives, but you know that too.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Thank you Charlie! I’ve had a good mentor along the way lol. And yessir Joe. I’m extremely cautious. I’ve owned the toothpick for a couple years now and that picture was only the 3rd time I had ever opened it haha! The bolster lock is such an interesting design and a testament to Robeson always trying to stay at the front of the game with new designs. Even if it failed, they weren’t scared to take a chance.

Picked this canoe up from SSK a while back. RCSB was what hooked me. Thanks Mark. According to RobesonsRme, the tang stamp dates it between 1916 and 1939. Very cool!

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Question - this is my first Robeson. Were they all boxed as Limited Production or is this one special? It is etched 1 of 200.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
I’m no help as I don’t know anything about the reproduction knives made by Queen or others.
Robeson did produce a Gunboat back in the day. A Gunboat is slightly larger than a Canoe.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
That is the Queen made Robeson from the mid 00’s I believe. All the ones I’ve seen have been limited production numbers like 300 or so. Nice knife.RedRaiderRick wrote: ↑Thu Jun 19, 2025 5:00 pm Picked this canoe up from SSK a while back. RCSB was what hooked me. Thanks Mark.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON
Well that time frame makes way more sense considering the condition of the knife. Thanks.C-WADE7 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 23, 2025 3:04 pmThat is the Queen made Robeson from the mid 00’s I believe.
