Thank you!

I agree, that Robeson is a beauty with that strawberry bone and blades /tools look virtually unused The Forest Master is a classic

Thanks Kev, just doing a wee bit of searching my friend - would you mind if I quoted your photo in the near future? ( in BF ).

Well that's an interesting Robeson. It appears to be a jigged Delrin contract knife, manufactured by Camillus, based on the Camillus 14 pattern. The same pattern used to make the much revered Kabar 1152 scout knife, as well as the early Camillus branded Campers. The shield and shield placement are even identical.

Thank you. Once I put a little oil in the joints, both knives felt brand new.

Thanks for the info! I had no idea what the history of the Robeson was. I just knew that I wanted an older model scout. The pink Delrin seemed to scare folks off long enough for me to pick it up.

Have you looked at the Robeson Tang Stamp charts to date it?

Looks like it’s from the 1965-1977 era.

Pink or not I like it when I first saw the pic I thought that the main blade profile and bolsters looked a lot like a Camillus. But I had no idea they're was a connection. Learning stuff everyday I log onto the porch. I by far am still a novice,but from what I've seen Camillus's spear points have a certain look that just says "Camillus" kinda a drop point spear? Both the Robeson and Colonial are nice and pristine

And here's a Kabar made by Robeson.

That Robeson can opener is pretty distinctive, L leghog !! A good indicator of "who"!

Yes, the can opener and its opposing blade are distinctive.

[Nature Boy]

Another Robeson.

 

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

Colonial camp/hobo, looks to have never been used. Was quite pleased to find one, I've had my eye out for a good hobo knife

 

[Campbellclanman]

Very nice Hillbilly!
Nature Boy, thats a fine Robeson with a fine Shield matey.
