A New Pattern, To Me Anyway

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.

A New Pattern, To Me Anyway

Post by RobesonsRme.com »

This four blade Robeson congress pattern knife sold for $29.00 on Ebay recently. I didn't get to bid on it.

It's pattern number is 642386. I have no recollection of having ever seen such a knife.

The pattern number denotes bone handles, but this knfe has either ebony or possibly black composition.

They look original to the knife.

It's a pretty pattern with those pinched bolsters, nail reliefs, etc.

Blades are pretty worn, but I'd bet this was a beautiful knife when new.

Seller did not state its length, but I'd suspect about 3 1/2".

I know some of the pics are upside down, but I flipped them over for consistency's sake.

Yes, it was. I don't usually buy well used knives unless the pattern is rare or the tang mark one I don't have.

I was expecting the knife to sell for more than was willing to pay, but it went cheap. ::facepalm::

Regrets.
