Just picked up my first Robeson today, it’s a 822850. Right at about 2.5 inches thinking it’s celluoid handle covers? Just trying to find a little more info if anyone knows approximately age of the knife and handle covers. It’s really a nice little knife with nice snap on the blades. Thanks!

We can tell by the block letters on Suredge on your knife that it is a later model Robeson, made circa 1945-1965. They are cool knives, but like other firms Robeson knives were not as well made after the war as they were before the war.

Nice find Paul!
I like smaller knives & they fit well in a watch pocket.

As Gunsil stated, the knife dates from 1948 to 1965.
They also made this pattern with three blades, like a tiny stockman.
The handle material is celluloid, so pay close attention to it.
