Greetings Everyone! Great forums you have here, quite a few informative guys round these parts! My name is Chris, from North Dakota and I recently got stung with the pocketknife bug and began picking a few up here and there. Was wondering if perhaps anybody had any info about this one.. Been looking at a few collectors books but to no avail.
Anyways Howdy all, and Thanks! See ya on the Forums! Chris

All I really know is that the tang stamp says Robinson Bros & Co on both blades.

You don't see too many Robinson Bros & Co knives. This one is supposedly made from a hoard of old parts that were discovered some years back

!
It's a three backspring knife.
