Robeson Wood Handle Pruner
I collect Hawkbills and Roper/copers. They're simple and honest work knives. Here's an old 'Robey. 4" closed. J.O'
Re: Robeson Wood Handle Pruner
That is where my love of traditional pocket knives started, watching farmers carrying and using Sheepsfoot and Lambsfoot work knives. When i got my first hunting knife, a Joseph Rodgers bunny knife i was hooked. Now a lot of my knives are Sheepsfoot and Lambsfoot. You have a couple of really nice knives that you have posted.Ridgegrass wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 12:46 am I collect Hawkbills and Roper/copers. They're simple and honest work knives.

Re: Robeson Wood Handle Pruner
Thanks. When I started a long time ago. Pruners weren't popular. I have well over a hundred and I paid around $5 for many of them. I just really like them, even if they're well used. The curved edge is stronger and often more efficient than a straight one. Like everything else, the prices are up and they're not as easily found. I never pass one up. Nice swapping stories with you.
Ever seen one of these? It's a George Schrade "wire handle" Patented 1942. He made a whole line of scout and camp and flatware with those handles.
Interesting guy.J.O'.

Nice knives.
There is a reason that style blade was put into "Linoleum Knives".
