Very cool and very similar to the ones I have these puppies are hard to find

Here's a Wade & Butcher Pruner/half-hawk with spring-loaded nippers and tweezers. Probably 1920's or earlier. The arrow points to the spring release tab for the nippers. O'.

That's an interesting knife.
I can see where that would be very handy at times.

Looking for info on the Crosscut white bone Pruning Knife with saw blade. Believe it to be from the earl 1800 but not real sure can't find any info on maker. Looks to be W Right or w rioht maybe someone will know more than I do on it
Thanks in advance.

Love, love, love the handles Gary. I had 6 of my GEC farmers jacks made without shields to be custom designed like this and scrimshawed. It didn't work out.
That's a great knife.

Hopefully you enjoy.
As always thank you very much

[New_Windsor_NY]

Does.....

Maybe an answer here?
