All About Pocket Knives

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.

Here's another nice little pearl. Just a little guy. 2 7/16"

These beautiful little well made knives ........ I can't ignore ..........

I like em too Joe. I got 2 of them rascals!

Yeah, they're great!
Actually I think this is my second one. I have to dig in the pile.

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

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.

I like that one also LANG! Your collection of Robesons is growing! Great color on that one! Congratts!!

Thank you, I'm looking forward to my next one!

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.

Thanks for letting us know about the knife LAN!! Yours is very nice!

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!

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

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

Thanks Joe and Jtx for the nice comments on my Robeson Pen Knife!!

Pretty knife, Lloyd.

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.
