Old Pruning and Horticultural Knives

[FRJ]

Joe, That is an "Odd-ball" Hawkbill. Thanks for sharing.

An odd ball for sure.
Thank you, Barry.

Sometimes pruning does make you hungry and thirsty.

Nothing like having all the bases covered, doglegg.

Interesting Joe.

It has had the pruning blade put into a scout/utility knife frame with two of the original blades removed, repinned with copper pins in the bolsters.

Now that I look at this knife I'm convinced you nailed the oddity, Dimitri.

I am not surprised.

Thank you.

Here is a Case tested you don't see too often. A 61013 small hawkbill at 3 9/16 closed. No longer have the knife but at least I still have a picture of it. Bought off eBay some years ago. The listing, like so many, didn't list the closed length but I was suspicious and asked the seller to find out what pattern it was. Size does matter.

[Miller Bro's]

Thank you.

Your welcome

I definitely would have bought it if I had seen it as well!

That was a rare one Wayne!

Excellent condition too

Thanks MB! Was a pleasure to own it while I did. Certainly must have been a pretty low production number knife.

Bufalo Grafting and Budding knife. First knife I have ever owned by this maker. 4 1/8" closed with horn handles. Both the cutting blade and the folding brass spud snap hard to the open and closed positions. A very well made and stout knife.

Very nice Wayne

Similar to this one I have, made in France.

Very close cousins. Is your horn handled?

[Miller Bro's]

Yes, horn handles
