All About Pocket Knives

A pretty Robeson Doctor.

Ohh, that's a nice one Joe. Those handles are just splendid.

Joe, did you buy that?

I'm pretty sure I saw that knife up for auction on Ebay.

Nice one.

Robeson made more than one pattern of doctors knives.

I assume that one is a 195. They made that with pearl handles, too.

They also made a longer knife with an elongated top bolster, almost like a Barlow, and a cap/pill crusher at the large end. The knife was a MasterCraft with the NEV-R-BIND bronze bearings and the appropriate MasterCraft shield.

I have only seen one of those.

Bruce Voyles showed a curved dog-leg jack with a flat butt cap in his books and he referred to it as a physician's knife. Whether Robeson made it for that purpose, I do not know.

Thank you, Jerry.

Yes, I did buy it, Charlie. Thank you.
I did take a picture of the pile side of the tang and put it in the post. It's a 195.
It's such a honey.
Thanks for the other information on the MasterCraft and such.
By the way, did you get the picts of the old jack?

Joe, I really like the looks of that one. Love the bone handles and that bar shield. That knife just exudes quality.

Thank you, Phil. It's a pleasure to own.

Joe, yes, I did get the e-mailed pics. Sorry I did not acknowledge receipt.

They're great. Thank you.
