Robeson 632800

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.

Looks like an electrician knife? Very cool knife. Let's see what Mr. Noyes has to say.

I saw that auction and a very desirable knife. Went past my limit. Robeson Radio Electrician's knife.

I've never seen anything like it. But that's the most interesting knife I've seen in a long time!

One of the rarest of the rare, along with a four blade automobilist's knife and the carriage knife.

Best one I ever saw was in the NKM. Still had a full etch.

I bought one years ago, but it turned out to have a welded, non-original master blade.

They hail from the time when the wiring in radios was connected with knurled brass nuts or hex-nuts, hence the "alligator wrench".

Master was a wire stripping blade.

I bid on that one, too, but given its condition, I didn't bid much. It went high, didn't it?

I'll try to get an image from a catalog reprint.
