Grace Horne Pruner
This knife was made by Sheffield cutler Grace Horne. It has an old Sheffield-made carbon steel blade. The bolsters and liners were machined from wrought iron. The scales are a dark burgundy micarta. There is a 'secret' rose stem filed on the inside surface of the spring. It is a wonderful modern interpretation of a classic pruner and a real beauty.

Wow! That's spectacular. And it's current made knife? Of course it is; Micarta handles. Duh on me. Where did you get it?

Re: Grace Horne Pruner
Did you post this over on BB as well? Nice catch. Getting Grace to actually sell one instead of getting mad and throwing it out because it's not perfect is a bit of luck in and of itself.
