[Campbellclanman]

Phew - Charlie that’s just plain gorgeous. You would be fighting to get better Stag and like you say - that punch is awesome, I really like that Punch!!!!!

Thanks Charlie, Duncan, Iskra and Eric for your nice comments on my above Robeson Jack!

Here is another Robeson Jack with Indian trail/worm groove handles, completely sunken joints
and a Sabre ground spear blade. It measures 3 & 3/4 inches closed.

That is a Sweetheart there Lloyd! Thank you for sharing my friend, it's always a pleasure!

We all like old, mellow Stag. This is a 3 3/4" Cattle knife from Sheffield;
Needham Brothers "Repeat" brand, with "Farm Knife" stamped on the blade, and a beautifully machined punch!! The deep belly on the spay was a standard shape for animal husbandry in Britain!! I thought it was wear until I saw several others made in that shape!!

Charlie, Augie, Lloyd, ISKRA, awesome knives guys! Stupendous stag on the farm knife I believe the Gardner is the first I've seen! The pocket eze are incredibly nice! Those really caught my eye, truth be told they all caught both my eyes!

You have collected the best Robesons on the planet, Lloyd!! Another beauty!!

Beautiful batch of Camillus and a great Needham Bros, Charlie. I am especially partial to the bareheaded Camillus with the Washington boster.
Very nice Case jack, huntnfishin, great one to put in your pocket.
Lovely Case jack, ISKRA.
Great find on the Gardner, Augie. The Catt MOP whittler is a great knife as well and I really like the Camillus toenail!
Lloyd, two beautiful Robeson PocketEze. Both lovelies, but, I really like the slim sleeveboard jack!

 

[Augie]

Picked up this Robeson that ties into Lloyd's beautiful knife, same saber spear blade. Saber spears are unusual in regular jack knives, much more common in coke bottle jacks.

 

[Luger1952]

John, outstanding Jack! Robeson sure knew how to do jigged bone handles as exemplified by your great example

 

[Mike Robuck]

"Whoa doggie!" as Jed Clampett used to say. Those are some sweet Robesons.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Very nice Augie- what is the measurements of that one please Sir?
As per usual with these Robeson Knives of this era - just an outstanding knife with beautiful Bone Handles.

I too picked up a large Robeson Jack that has the Sabre grind , never been touched in its life, Composite Handle material it has the ink still on the blade and apparently was a one of only a handful made for the presentation to the buyer for ( now I am going by memory here - will have to look this up again) A Govt. department- be it Naval or similar.

It wasn’t one that was picked so it remains one of a very small batch that never ended up being manufactured.
I have the copies of the build sheets somewhere.

Thanks guys, Duncan it is 3 3/4" just like Lloyd's great knife. It has a heavy substantial feel to it and great snap.

Luger1952 Augie Wonderful knives Lloyd and John

 

[Luger1952]

Thanks Duncan, Rob, Charlie, Dan, Augie, Mike and Paul for the kind comments—much appreciated!!

Here is a Robeson PocketEze split back Whittler. Again, sunken joints and worm groove/Indian trail
jigged bone. I like the blade selection—spear main and clip and pen secondaries. It is 3 & 5/8 inches
closed. Never sharpened post production. Pattern No. 633499.

Lloyd you have been finding some very nice robeson’s lately!

I couldn’t find a match anywhere but at least I have plenty of strikers.

Now I believe Charlie is right regarding his above post! You have collected the best Robesons on the planet! Fantastic whittler and I love the combination of blades!

 

[Mike Robuck]

That's a great looking whittler, Lloyd. I like the eased openings.

 

[ed_is_dead]

It's old and it's a knife!

 

[waynorth]

Older Schrade Cut Cos!! I was amazed by the slimness of the one with cell handles AND the pre-peachseed jigging!! No way I was leaving these behind!!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Great Old Sheffield Hawkbill Ed!

Charlie I can see why you wouldn’t want to leave those two behind! Man the Cell is Slim!
