Lucky Dog!

Post by bonehead »

Hello All,
Most of you fellow knife collectors know my passion is American vintage Knives…. Well today I’m a lucky Dog. Thank you PA knives, I have only added three knives to my collection this year and this one is the best one yet. It is a Terrier Cutlery Co., manufactured by the Robeson Knife Co. 1910~1916 This is the rare gunstock pattern in beautiful green bone. Both bolsters stamped with appears to me the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. This Terrier is also stamped in the rear of the master blade as well. Both blades marked Terrier Cutlery Co. Rochester NY. The rear of the pen blade is marked with the pattern # which is inversed.

Congrats Bonehead on a beautiful aquisition! What a pretty knife and the fact that you apprecitate it is priceless. It is in good hands. Quality versus quantity is a good thing. Like you I bought very few knives this year. I only bought 5 knives this year. Nice for PA Knives to pass on/sell such a nice knife to a true collector such as yourself.

Regards, Jerry

BH, that is a great knife!

Robeson gunstock jacks are quite rare. They made two different sizes.

I've seen precious few over the years and I've never, until now, seen a Terrier.

Quite the knife. Congratulations.

Some day, I will stop collecting Robeson pocketknives and sell out everything.........everything, that is, except my Terrier marked knives and razors.

I will keep collecting Terriers until I die.

I'll never have a huge display of them, but it will be a nice, high quality collection of a rare marque.
