Robeson extreames

[FRJ]

Here's a couple Robesons that I like quite a bit.

I have often wondered how cutlers cut in or fashion nail nicks. There's lots of variations including
the one on this pearl.
Thanks for looking.

Two excellent knives Joe.

That "Carpenters Choice" punches a bunch of my buttons.

[FRJ]

Thank you, Phil.

Beautiful knives, I especially like that Carpenter's.

[Colonel26]

Wonderful knives. I'm with Phil, that carpenter's choice is my kind of knife!

I have one similar to your Carpenters Choice. Not as purty as yours
3 - 5/8 inch closed. All steel, including liners. Scales are some kind of comp or plastic.
Kind of odd in that the third blade has a half-stop, whereas primary and second blade do not. A real HOK

Both those are nice.

That Carpenter's Choice is great and looks like one I saw on Ebay just a bit ago....

I was hoping someone here would get that one and I suspect someone did.

That's an interesting detail in that nail nick, showing some machining I've never noticed before. I assume that nicks on old knives were cut somehow. Maybe the wheel was wearing out when that one was done. I really don't know.

Thanks for the comments.
Nice knife, Royal. Mine has brass liners but no half stop.
Same model number though.

[FRJ]

Thanks Charlie. Yes, that's the knife you posted about a while back.

Whatever,Joe,that's two of the best looking nail nicks I have noticed on Robesons. Thanks Charlie for alerting us to these eBay gems.

Carpenter whittlers draw me to them Royal.

Here are some more Robesons I thought I would put in this year old thread.

Here is a very nice Easy Open jack. 3 11/16", 62227
I think this is my first big EO. Very strong knife.

Thanks for looking.

[FRJ]

Here's a real nice Trapper that I like to carry around quite a bit. That is, I can't put it down.
622482 - 4 1/2"

[FRJ]

Here's one that was commented on in another thread.
When I first saw it in the other thread I thought it was a peanut (or something).
This knife is 3 3/4" closed. 622426. I'm sure glad to have it.
Thanks for looking.

My latest Robesons ...............

And my new Thomaston trapper for comparison .............

Every time I see one of those Easy Open knives I want one. Don't have one YET!! Did most knife makers make that pattern back in the day?

[FRJ]

It seems like most cutlery's made them, but I don't know. I know it's a very popular pattern.
I sure like this big one.

[FRJ]

I would call this one Robeson Lite.

This thing weighs less than 2 ounces with its aluminum covers and liner.
It has one stamp; the identifying Robeson stamp.
Not even a pattern Number. 4 inches closed.

[OLDE CUTLER]

My aluminum Robeson has been sharpened A LOT over it's lifetime, but is still a usable old knife with a keen edge. Is 033750 the correct pattern number for these? I saw one of these on the web a while back that the owner claimed was nickle silver handled. Was there actually such a thing?

[FRJ]

Hey, that's pretty neat, OLDE CUTLER. I'm glad you have one.
How did you come up with that pattern number? I have no idea what it would be for these knives.
I don't know if there were nickel silver handles on these stockman knives. Honestly, I doubt it.
Thanks for posting yours.

[OLDE CUTLER]

I have the Ritchie & Stewart 5th Edition book that gives the 033750 as a large cattle knife and doing an internet search of that number show pictures of it. I thought it was more of a stockman myself.
The guy that had the so called nickle silver one had pictures of it on the web and it looked just like the ones we have. I doubt it too if it was actually nickle silver.
