Hobesun Cutlery knife

[timdog44]

I have this MOP knife made by Hobesun Cutlery Co. It is what I know to be a whittler with a master blade and two pen blades at the opposite end. I measure 3 inches when closed. There's no indication where it is made. On the master blade the tang on one side is the Hobesun Cutlery Co stamp and on the other is the number 73293. Anybody know this knife company or this knife? Thanks for looking.

Could that say Robeson?

Now I feel like a big dummy. I looked at it closer under magnification and it indeed says Robeson.

Nice knife. The stamp actually reads ROBESON CUTLERY CO. Goins says that the curved stamp was used from 1896 to 1922.

No worries. Our eyes play tricks on us sometimes. Nice little knife!!
