Old Pruning and Horticultural Knives

I found this 25 years ago in my first home, while I was renovating. I like to think it may have been used by an old wine maker, in a vineyard, in Italy. I guess when you don't know the story, you can make one up.

Charlie, I was watching that knife when it was listed on ebay too. I would love to own it but the price is crazy. I have not looked into the museum but when I get a chance I will. Have a great holiday all. Mike

Bonehead, I have a similar knife by Robeson and the spud is made from bone.

Expanding the pics on the Warren knife leads me to believe that spud is bone, as well.

Mike, I thought that was a fascinating knife, but not at that kind of price.

A couple I recently picked up...can't read the tang on the 'say it with flowers', the other is a SAK grafting knife...looks like its a few years old.

Those capped big stag pruners "stand" on their own MB,nice. The capped ones are really nice.

Those pruner blades and bark splitters get me going 41x and Lawerence.

I hope to get a couple farmer jacks with those bark splitters.Someday, Lord willing.

I guess if you had everything,you would still want more.

My kinda knives guys.

Here is a Kutmaster grafting knife. I have no idea how old it is, but it is a really nice knife.

Nice Catt MB, I love how it has such a good tip on it. Your collection of stag handles is really something to see, its amazing there are so many shades of orange/yellow/brown represented there.
Knifegirl, that grafting knife is really nice. The edge on that razor blade looks just about perfect.

Nice one! I love old Schrade bone.

Thanks!

No cracks or chips on either side of this one

These are hard to find in good condition.

It is a French made horticultural knife, three back springs and a folding Ivory spud!

The handles are cow horn.

Beechtree · Post by **Beechtree** » Thu Apr 25, 2013 12:08 am

Wow, that is really neat MB.The horn is very pretty and the three back springs are great. Surely, that is a pocket full of usefulness.

That's a really nice one MB. Really digging them fat handle slabs

Iron Hoarder · Post by **Iron Hoarder** » Thu Apr 25, 2013 7:24 pm

Nice one.

Finding any good quality french knife in decent shape is a bit difficult in my experience.

Miller Bro's · Post by **Miller Bro's** » Thu Apr 25, 2013 7:46 pm

Thanks Tom & Robert

I must admit I am quite impressed with the fit and finish on this knife not to mention the handles as Tom mentioned and the saw blade on this thing is so sharp it can hack through solid bone in seconds

not to mention a wood branch.

You are right though, these are hard to find in this nice of condition, most are used up and all worn out.
