This Vintage New York Knife Co. Model No. 142 Hawkbill Pruner has a single used and sharpened carbon steel Pruner blade with a common nail pull.  Both faces have scattered staining and some scattered clusters of micro-pitting. Stamped on the front tang is NEW YORK (over) KNIFE CO. (over) WALDEN.  The blade has excellent, very hard and loud, alligator snap on both open and close and a very hard half-stop. The knife has a set of redwood scales, that are now black, but still in very good condition with no cracks, splits or missing chips though do have some typical pocket carry type light scratches. These scales will long outlive us all. Redwoods can grow to over 350’ tall and live 1,200-1,800 years and are resistant to insects and disease and most likely outlast all the steel parts on the knife. There are four (4) steel handle pins in each scale. The knife has steel rounded single flute bolsters. The blade liners are steel as well. The knife has a single heavy duty steel back spring.  But it’s free of any cracks or breaks and it continues to perform the functions it was designed to perform. This nice old vintage or antique NYKC Hawkbill Pruner is 4” in length. Additional photos or information on request.
