Thanks Mike and Paul!

Paul I love that Robeson. My mindset is somewhat like yours. I've always migrated towards beefier knives, but lately I'm more concerned with how they carry in the pocket. That is where they spend the majority of the time.

I never had time for pen knives before, I never cared for them only because I thought I'd never carry one. Then Duncan had a few then a few more shipped here before departing to New Zealand. I became intrigued and marveled at the workmanship/craftsmanship that went into these wonderful knives:thumbup:

I've heard it's much more difficult to make a small knife versus a large knife. That easily resonates with me as smaller projects try my patience and skill.

If I researched correctly this is from 1922-1939 as it reads: ROBESON ShureEdge (in script) ROCHESTER NY. This fantastic little knife has great f&f, tight blades and amazing bone covers with remarkable indian trails:cool:

The main is worn down but will offer years of use yet.

Fabulous robeson! One of the best makers ever, I can't get enough of them.
 
Paul and TC91 outstanding Robeson Pocket Eze folders! I will have to dig out one of mine and post a photograph. I love the small single springs. With the hidden joints they must disappear in the pocket. Nice photos guys:thumbup: Lloyd

Erik, Paul and Lloyd, thank you.

Erik, I agree, they ABSOLUTELY disappear in your pocket:thumbup:

Paul, what a pair of Robesons:cool:

Lloyd, I always look forward to the WONDERFUL knives you post:thumbup:

... Wish more knives today were as easy on the pockets and featured sunken joints.

Here is a Camillus with some nice old bone

Beautiful Camillus Jamie!!! I too would be happy if more knives had sunk joints. I've heard sunk joints are not as strong but for my use I think they would be strong enough. Those I have with sunk joints are working out just fine. :)

Nice pair of Robesons TC91!!! Neat that you have the jack and the pen!

This Case isn't as old as other knives shown here (c1965-1969) but it is in amazingly fine unused condition and... I like red. ;)



 
Another cool piece, all I needed to make it work was take a single edge razor blade and take the crimped end off, a perfect fit so at least I can replace the blade.

Even has a cigar cutter and a cigar hole poker on the end, a real gentleman's piece, sad the chrome plating was comin' off, I may just take it down to the brass finish and throw a coat of ren wax on it.

That is a very cool piece. I like the brass underneath the deteriorating chrome myself, but all brass would be classy too.

Old knife with old stuff. :) Remember when you could get a lighter in a gumball machine? :)

Yes! And when they had prizes in the Cracker Jacks box?
The Heinz pickle pin takes me back, too. My folks are from Pittsburgh.
 
Jack, GREAT collection of vintage knives my friend, those old groomers always interest me:thumbup:

James, such great knives those old CASE red bones are, very nice picture:cool:

Ted, great old cigar cutter and Camillus. I remember when the carnival would come to town and set up in the Old baseball diamond (long gone now) & I always played the cranes. ALWAYS tried for the lighter shaped as a pistol. My heart would break when it dropped before getting it in the bin. Then, FINALLY I won one!!! I must have gone through four or five flints that summer:o

Thank you for the fine compliment, my friend! I love this one and it's from the heart of New York...Yonkers on the Hudson



Old Primble would go hog wild over that beauty, Paul!

Seriously, you found that in Yonkers? Born and raised there.
