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.

Dimitri; I have seen that little tuxedo as a three blade whittler pattern, I think.

I may have saved the pictures.

Here’s a couple pieces I was lucky to add to my collection recently. Note the “ShurEdge” etch on the 27 pattern EO jack. It’s faint. But such a cool piece.

Here is my latest Robeson. I have 5 of them now. This one I got
off the bay. I think the handles are made of a hard composite material
and made around 1939. I have not seen a knife like this on the
internet. AI thinks the material is wood and made in the 50's or
60's. Please correct me if I am wrong.

That handle has been called an early form of Micarta.

A lot of beautiful old Robesons in this thread. I have several of the newer Queen Robesons that I love, but here are a couple Strawberry Bones from the 50s.

Old Robeson genuine Strawberry Bone handled pocketknives are, at least, sixty-five years old.

Those two are beauties, indeed.
