Your French made knife is very cool and interesting, Joe. ::tu::
Someone sure put it through it's pace over the years though and I have no doubt it served them well. 8)

Marco, not a Bob Lum design whose knives always had a certain Chinese aesthetic to them. This knife is out of Seki Japan. But I am glad you like it.

It's nice get these old fishing knives out just because they need looking after.

My reaction is the same as Cudgee. That bone stopped me in my tracks.

Unsharpened and hasn't been carried. Reverse congress. A very nice unusual knife.
Looks like hand checkering on that B&P. Very nice!

Thought I'd pull this knife out just because it's such a good looking little thing.
I haven't seen many like this from Robeson.

You own some of the coolest nicest knives I've seen, Joe.
Many of yours are models I would buy for myself.
I love the black/purple stripping on this last one!
Please, keep em' comin'! 8)

Thank you, Marco, I'm glad you are enjoying the knives.
I'm sure there are guys and gals on this forum who, if they were to show there knives, would make mine look like back seat scruffies.
I just like to show mine off. This is a knife forum after all. :)

I did hear some other stuff rattling around down in the bottom of the canvas bag. I'll see what I can pull out. :mrgreen:

Neat and unusual can pretty much define Robeson. They sure put out some neat knives. ::tu::

Nonsense Joe.
You have some great knives and we love seeing them.
Remember, it's not a contest, it's just what you like and own.
I like showing mine off too, so you're not alone.
Hope there's more in the bag! 8)

Today I drug out this Keen Kutter jack and carried it "Just Because". It is 3 and 1/2" OAL and I got it out of a $3 box at the flea market because it had a broken spring and a missing piece of bone on the pile side, both of which I fixed. I particularly like the "Keen Kutter" stamping on the bolsters.
