Robeson Barlow

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.

Now that's really nice. Leave it to Robeson to put a unique bolster on a Barlow.
Great sheeps foot too. Glowing red scales. It's all good.

Except for a true one armed man Barlow from Robeson, the sheepsfoot bladed patterns are, I think, the most rare.

They also made it with one blade.

Most of Robeson's Barlows were sleeveboards with that rounded bolster, but they did make a couple of patterns with a squared bolster.

Charlie, do you mean the Barlow was shaped like a sleeveboard? A sleeveboard has a blade at each end, no?

I was referring to the shape of the knife, not blade placement. Robeson Barlows are jacks, but with a sleeveboard shape.
