I have a Robeson strawberry bone grandaddy Barlow from the '60s and a small bone handled 2 blade pen knife from the '30s-40s, both of them take an unbelievably sharp edge.
Brilliant video and collection. I learnt a lot. I did not know about rough black....Case still use it. I'm really starting to get in to Robisons. Was that their strawberry jig bone? Those covers that sandwich in the frame. They did some cool stuff. I have one of the carbide tungsten edges. I really enjoy the history of knives. You and Warthogg brilliant channels for knowledge! Thank you🙏
Yep. It was really unique. Thank you. Robeson produced the tungsten edge by bombarding the edge with tungsten at 10 times the speed of sound. The result was a true tungsten edge. Just remarkable in 1950. Thanks for watching.
Sweet collection thanks for sharing I have an old Robeson strawberry bone Barlow the walk and talk is amazing and even with a nice very full clip point blade
Hi from the east coast (of England) or in propa Norfolk har ya orite bouy translate to how are you today sir.I take my hat off to your dedication to collect over I would guess a lifetime.
The rough black cover material reminds me of something Case used during War II . They called theirs Gum Fuddy it was also a Black tough hard material. It looks much like the covers on your knives. 🤔❔
Same thing. Different knife manufacturers started using it during WWII because so much bone was used during the war. It's a rubber based composite material. Collectors called the jigged material rough black and the smooth material slick black.
@isaiahthompson6751 They're a lot of Frankenstein Robesons. Learn the model # sequence. The second number is the number of blades. So if you're looking at a three bladed knife and the blade is marked 623242. The 2nd # tells you the blade goes on a 2 bladed knife. All about pocket knives, AAPK, has a good thread on Robeson tang stamps that provide accurate dating. You want to collect pre WWII knives.
The last three digits in the model number are the pattern. Robeson pattern numbers went sequentially. So, theoretically, 001 was the first pattern. Pretty cool. 😎
Do you know the date range of the Pawnee aluminum handle? I have one that is the same pattern and tang stamp but has black handles. It does not have any numbers just the tang stamp. I have seen the tang stamp in books that says it is 1917-1939 but seen the exact knife on ebay with the seller saying it is from the 50s-60s. I would really love know from someone who has more experience than me what the age is. Thanks
The seller on eBay didn't know what he was talking about. I've seen a number of these in an antique shop, all would date between 1920-1940. I've never seen one from the 50s or 60s.
Stunning collection and history lesson.
Thanks for sharing
It's always a pleasure 🙏
Another great video just wanted it to go on.but thank you and I look forward to the history part.atb paddy.
Thank you.
Outstanding collection, thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks. I should have done a close up, but you'll eventually see them all.
The shield on the congress is like ones on J primble and US Bokers . I always liked those large congress knives
It looks exactly like a boker, but it's not. Maybe I'll do that story sooner rather than later, but sometimes it pays to trust your gut.
Hi Rasputin:
Truly a lovely set of knives. Just great.
Very impressive and interesting collection, ❗️thanks for sharing.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

Robeson switched to strawberry bone in 1948-1959. Might be older than you think.

Love the video! Any tips for a new Robeson collector? Any tricks for dating them?

You want to collect pre WWII knives.
@@rasputinscastle Thanks! I'll certainly keep that in mind when I go treasure hunting again!
Just realized i inherited an old Robeson shuredge. Marked 622001

Need to do a little homework

@rasputinscastle wow, that is cool. Thanks for the information. I'll have to do a little more digging so I know everything about it I can. Thx again
