Rig;
We talked via PM about your search for a Robeson. I wish I had a good one for you.
There was a decent Continental on Ebay a couple of days ago.

Again, great knives!

Nice ones Charlie!
I've had a opportunity to buy a few Robesons before and one of the lockbacks , but was lacking the funds! lol

As you know, its not easy finding the old hunters, especially in good shape.
I've been selective and lucky in finding the ones I have, but there's still room for the bone handled regular hunter that you have there! ::tu::


Thats a Nice Yukon Catt. you have there JKB. ::tu::

Here's a few from my collection.Sorry for the lousy pics;I've got to learn how to use this camera.

First is a Colonial with a cleaver secondary blade.Very unusual.
Next is a Humason&Beckley with ebony scales.
Third is an old Imperial.
Next is another Imperial with a fish scaler secondary blade.
Fifth is a Monarch(Japanese but very good quality)from the 60's.
Next is a Northfield Un-X-Led with beautiful bone scales.
Seventh is a Precise from the 70's.
Next is a custom folder by Track from the 70's.Got that one for $5!
Ninth is a Westaco(I assume it is by Western).
Last is one by Wilbert Cutlery in Chicago.
