4 1/2" Trapper

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.

What a beauty! My kind of knife.

One of only three or four patterns on which they continued to use genuine stag after WWII.

Two others were a folding guard English Jack, pattern number 512872 and a little sleeveboard pen, 523858.

There may be more, of course. One never really knows with Robeson.
