That's a very nice Robeson 056 jack.

I'm not sure I've ever seen that bone, which is certainly a Robeson product, on a knife with that post WWII stamp.

The bone is circa WWII, because we see it on contract knives made for the U.S. Government

Robeson started using their Strawberry Bone in 1948, so I'm going to say your knife is circa 1945 to 1948.

Nice one, DelNich.57. That knife is in beautiful condition.

Here's one I bought used but have had it for a few years.

That's great Sir, I certainly appreciate your sharing the information that you have acquired. I'm very new to knife collecting in a serious way and was thrilled to be able to get such a fine example of a craftsmans work. If you don't mind me asking what do you think is a fair value? I only have about a dozen or so knives at this point but I'm getting them (Good ones) that I've run across about 2 or 3 a month. Thanks again!

I'm a knife collector, not an appraiser.

When I have ventured into the role of appraiser in the past, I have at times, caused someone to pay too much for a knife or to sell one too low. Both those type of events caused a diminutive reduction in a previously positive personal relationship.

So, I don't appraise knife values.

There are numerous members here that buy and sell knives as a profession or semi-profession. Possibly one of them will speak up with a valid appraisal of the knife.

Sir I am pleased with the information that you have given me and I thank you again for that. Insofar as our passion for fine pocket knives we share the same ideals actually I really have no desire whatsoever in parting with the least of my collection. My knives will eventually be my son's and grandsons so as far as the value, it was more a matter of curiosity. I'm certain I didn't over pay for it because I am blessed to have a good source. Have a great day and I look forward to talking again.
