Dimitri, Did you notice the SCHRADE in the bottom left in the group pic? Up until seeing yours, I'd not seen one. J.O.

[doglegg]

You started off with a bang! Love those handles!

[Mason]

This is one of my favorites.....

That's a fine old knife.

While I do appreciate American-made pruners, I prefer English models as M.B. does.
Here are three old American flat cap models from the early 1900s.
Ulster on top, Holley in the middle, and a Keen Kutter with blade etch on the bottom.

[Miller Bro's]

Nice trio!

I have a Holley in jigged bone, same heavy brass butt cap.

[New_Windsor_NY]

Nice.....

An EXCEPTIONAL example, Dimitri.

[doglegg]

Nice.....

An EXCEPTIONAL example, Dimitri.

Agree

[Ridgegrass]

Here's a Brit that checks all my boxes:Triple-fluted, integral bolsters, blade stamp, company address on tang, big fat butt, and snaps like a dragon. J.O'.

Thanks, and nice jigged bone model as well.
Holley certainly used thick butt caps on their pruners.
Here is an old Russell.

Thank you!

Russell made some good ones

[Miller Bro's]

I had to dig deep for this one.

Not to many of these around that I have seen, hard brand to find.

[New_Windsor_NY]

I.....

Another FINE example, Dimitri.

Those bones are rich!

Wow Miller bros, that's a rare beautiful knife. I think in 25 plus years collecting, I've seen and purchased two Griffins.____Dave

[Ridgegrass]

Thanks. Great Griffon! Does anyone have a Flylock pruner? Love to see it, as that's probably as close as I'll ever get! J.O'.

[Mason]

Thanks doglegg and Ridgegrass, and that Wade Wingfield & Rowbotham is a good looking knife with those triple fluted bolsters.

Nice stag on that old fellow.
