Robeson Knife
A long time friend of mine whom I use to spend quite a bit of time with as a kid just gave me a pocket knife that his recently deceased father used to carry in his pocket. It is a Robeson sure edge. I will post a picture of it and also include the number stamped on the second tang. I am just curious about the who's, what's and when's as I had never heard of this manufacturer till now.

The new Robesons are made by Queen Cutlery, they are very well made and few and far between.

Robeson's sure edge is an older & well respected knife line. Good steel .. good quality. Quite collectible.

Shawn,
Let us see it?
Robeson is indeed a name that was owned by servotronics, which sold many of it's knife related holding to Ken Daniels when he purchased Queen Cutlery. Robeson is NOT one of the tang stamps he acquired. The Shuredge stamp was used a number of times

Old Robeson have a name for a high quality and kinda sorta rarer knives to find compared to camillus and such at least. I've got two and always look out for them when I'm looking through older knives.
