SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON

[RobesonsRme.com]

This is a Terrier that sold on Ebay. Not my knife.

The seller described the handles as wood. I think he was right. That's what they look like.

However, the jigging is very much similar to the bone on your knife.

This knife dates 1910 - 1916.

Actually I think this is my second one. I have to dig in the pile.

[LanG]

very elegant cutter, Joe. Love the bolster on it.

[FRJ]

Thank you, LanG.

Just picked up this little nugget that I will enjoy carrying. I really like the bone color, and it has surprisingly strong snap for such a small knife.

[woodwalker]

Nice little 064.

Prior to WWII they made that with brown/green bone and also as a pearl handled whittler.

The bone is not common either, but I have seen it.

This one is on ebay right now (not mine). It's got cracks on the other side, and I can't see if the tang stamp is the same, but the bone jigging looks similar.

*After further viewing, the color is the same, but the jigging isn't the same. Kind of similar, but not as close as I thought.

I rarely buy letter opener knives,but couldn't pass on this one.Perfect pearl with "Utica Ice Cream Company".I purchased it at a shop about 30 miles from Utica,NY. Pattern #722376.

Very nice letter opener.

They were made with celluloid handles, too.

I’ve seen a Pearl handled one that had been turned into a nice blade opener by breaking off the long blade and reshaping the tang.

Actually not a bad idea if you don’t mind sacrificing a collectible item.

Here is a Robeson PocketEze pen knife I just recently acquired. It is 3.25 inches closed with a spear master and an opposite end nail file. The tang stamp is marked Robeson/ShurEdge (script)/U.S.A. This tang stamp dates the knife to circa 1916-1939. It is in very excellent condition with no evidence of use, carry or sharpening post production. The PocketEze shield has the full red paint background with not a speck missing which is highly unusual because most were well used and carried. It has fully sunken joints a unique feature to most of the PocketEze line. I say most because I have some early PocketEze folders that do not have sunken joints. The bone grips are worm groove jigged with no cracks or splits. This is pattern no. 622416. There is a photo of one in David Clark’s reproduction of a saleman catalog dating from 1908—1930 on page 5. This one has a cut in the mark side frame and handle to access the nail file and no swedge on the mark side spear. Mine is opposite with a cut in the pile side frame and handle and a swedge on the mark side primary spear. Thanks for looking!!

Dang Lloyd that sure is one beautiful old Robeson! You should be proud of that little treasure!

[FRJ]

That is a very sweet pen knife, Lloyd.
It's like new.

[Jtx]

Lloyd, that is a special little knife. You will enjoy having it, for sure.

[Duffer]

Thanks Charlie!! You see any Terriers at the Dalton Show? I will keep an eye out for Terriers at the OKCA show next month.

Did not, but I bought one off Ebay while I was in Dalton.

A 4 1'4" 037 cigar jack. Decent, not great.
