Thank you, Joe and Lloyd. I developed an interest in these, and have been fortunate enough to add a fair number of pretty nice examples.

You have a nice Robeson in that lot?

Your knife has double rat-tailed bolsters! One big rat and one little rat drug their tails across those bolsters.

Here's a big Robeson 197 with bone handles, steel liners, butt cap and single rat-tailed bolsters.
Also Robeson's version of the WWI Navy issue knife.

Charlie , when you mentioned the big and little rat tail it dawned on me that you may be referring to a file . Is that how the name rat tail bolster came about ?
Some very fine rope knives in this area . First time going thru . Very good stuff in these pages .
