4-1/2" Big Jack , Brass liners, "Shur/Edge shield. Pattern # 622151 , black composition.. Great shape! J.O'.

nice looking knife

Circa WWII or slightly after.

Bone availability was depressed during WWII and several companies went to black composition. Robeson and Case are two of which come to mind.

I suspect this knife predates 1948, as that is when Robeson started using their Strawberry Bone.

The pattern number of 622151 calls for bone handles.

Does the shield: Shur (arrow) Edge have a date range? Thanks ,J.O'.

The shield is that of a logo that Robeson used, principally, in the 1950, but it could have certainly been in use prior to that.

I have seen the logo on catalogs and on display cases, labels, kitchen items, etc.

I do not think I have ever seen that shield on a bone handled knife. Someone can correct me on that if they are able.

I have seen it on these pressure molded black composition knives and also on some knives with Robeson's ShurWood handles.

Thanks. It's got that "50's" look! Nice display! J.O'.
