Description:

This is a beautiful vintage Robeson Suredge pen knife, made in Rochester, NY and likely dating to the 1930s–1940s. It features a vibrant textured celluloid handle with a bold basketweave pattern and the classic inlaid “No-Rustain” shield.

The knife has two blades (clip point and pen) that open and close with solid snap, and both retain their original shape with light wear consistent with age. The handle scales are in great condition with no cracks or major damage, and the nickel silver bolsters add a clean, classic finish.

A charming example from the golden era of American cutlery, perfect for EDC, display, or any vintage knife collection.

All knives in this shop are vintage or pre-owned unless stated otherwise. While many are in excellent condition, they may show normal signs of age or handling such as scuffs, blemishes, or blade wear. I try to document condition as accurately as possible in both the description and photos. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
